Lord Brahma is the creator while Shri Vishnu is the preserver of the universe.

Lord Brahma is the creator while Shri Vishnu is the preserver of the universe. Shiva's role is to destroy the universe in order to re-create it. But Shivas powers of destruction and recreation are used to destroy the illusions and imperfections of this world, paving the way for beneficial change. According to Hindu belief, this destruction is not arbitrary, but constructive. Lord Shiva is therefore seen as the source of both good and evil and is regarded as the one who combines many contradictory elements. Shiva may seem to be a complex character, he may represent goodness, benevolence and serve as the Protector but he is also the leader of evil spirits and ghosts. He is also associated with Time, and particularly as the destroyer of all things. Nevertheless, Shiva is also associated with creation. In Hinduism, the universe is thought to regenerate in cycles. Shiva destroys the universe at the end of each cycle which then allows for a new Creation. Shiva is also the great ascetic, abstaining from all forms of indulgence and pleasure, concentrating rather on meditation as a means to find perfect happiness. He is the patron of Yogis and Brahmins, and also the protector of the Vedas, the sacred texts. Shiva was involved in many adventurous episodes which illustrate his virtuous character and offer instruction on how to live correctly. For example, self-sacrifice is emphasised when Vasuki, the king of Serpents, threatened to vomit snake venom across the seas. Shiva, collected the venom in his palm and drank it. The poison burned his throat and left a permanent blue scar, hence one of his many names became Neelkantha, the blue throated one! ✨👁🌲🔱🌏🌙🐍💀🌳🏔🕉🌵🗻✨
