The word Shiva signifies the auspicious. The good Lord Shiva roots out sin and terror, and is the bestower of earthly happiness, promoter of good and auspiciousness. Shiva is also called Shankara which means doer of good. Shiva takes one beyond the three bodies (Tripura), gross, subtle and causal that envelope the Jiva or the embodied soul. He is hence the Hara or the remover of all evil and the ideal of renunciation. Therefore we hail ‘Hara hara Mahadev'.
In the Rigveda it is written: Yasya ime himavanto mahitva. ~ That the snow capped Himalayas appear as if they are meditating, and they are the concrete symbol of the glory of the Supreme. Hence it is no wonder that most of its attributes are transferred to Shiva. Kailash is the abode of Shiva. The snowy Himalayas are white and Shivas body is also white – Gauranga (gauri = light complexioned). Karpura gauram = camphor hued white. Shivas body is smeared with bhasma or ashes to indicate renunciation, whiteness and purity.
