SHIVA, THE AUSPICIOUS
"He was Shiva, the Auspicious. Shiva, whose very presence was able to transform humans into demigods.There were some lucky people who meditated and "saw" him. These meditators then termed the ‘Seeing’ as a revelation of the Self; a Darsana.Those to whom the Darsana ‘happened’, came to be called rishis. These seers prayed differently.” explained Rishi Suta to his disciple Shaunaka.
“Differently?” asked Shaunaka.
“His mentions had been varied. Shiva the auspicious, Shiva the Warlord, Shiva the mountain God, Shiva the dweller of the cremation grounds, Shiva the creator of the universe, Shiva the destroyer, Shiva the ascetic, Shiva the loyal husband, Shiva the intoxicated, Shiva the meditator, Shiva the recluse, Shiva the Supreme spiritual master! Which One was He?”
“Yes, which one was He indeed, Gurudeva?” asked Shaunaka.
“The transformed seers spoke of Shiva in endearing terms, adding yet another epithet to His mentions. ‘Verily, He is all. He is Shiva Nataraja, Lord of the cosmic dance! ” replied Suta.
