Lord Shiva is more of transformer than destroyer.

In order to create something new, something old has to get destroyed. So Lord Shiva is more of transformer than destroyer. Lord Shiva protects mankind from many threats. He is worshipped as our savior. Of all hindu gods, if there is one deity that is easiest to please then it is Lord Shiva. That is why he is also known as ‘Bholenath’.

Shiva is Bholenath, the innocent God, since He doesn't differentiate among his devotees. He is the father of the entire Universe. So whenever His children ask for his grace, He grants them the boons, luxuries and amenities. For the people who don't want materialistic things and who live according to Dharma, they are forever protected by Shiva.

When we ask our father something, we are sure it will be granted, Since our parents can't see us suffer. But as a strict father, at times He punishes us for our ignorance, arrogance and bad deeds. And when we repent and promise that we would never repeat our mistakes, then Shiva forgives us instantly, as Bholenath can't stay away from His children for a long time.

Shiva is father and best friend of all his devotees. That is why Shiva granted boons even to Asuras. He thinks that after getting the desires fulfilled , may be the Asuras will change for the better. When the Asuras start to trouble the world, then to save the world from their atrocities , Shiva punishes them.

Daksha Prajapathi abused Shiva. To relieve Daksha of his arrogance, Shiva as the Veerabhadra cuts Daksha’s head but again gives back life to him, after Daksha repents for his mistake.

Shiva can't see his children in trouble , and whenever anyone calls Shiva for help, He comes to their rescue as in the case of Markendeya. He is pure as camphor, and an avatar of compassion. He is the greatest and the Kindest. In the mode of “Tamas” he destroys and creates foundation for new creation when it is the right time. He also protects the world from threat of many demons that are hellbent on creating chaos on earth. So this is why he is also “Sangharak” meaning “Destroyer”, at the same time also our Saviour.! 🕉👁🕉
