RUDRA!

 


RUDRA!
Eko hi rudro na dvitīyāya tasthe ya imāṃl lokān īśata īśanībhiḥ / pratyaṅ janās tiṣṭhati saṃcukocāntakāle saṃsṛjya viśvā bhuvanāni gopāḥ. The Svetasvattara Upanishad says in verse 3:02 for Shiva:
There is only one,
Rudra!
No second one,
Ruling all ,with powers great
He sustains too each from within,
And in the end He stands alone,
taking them all back in.
And from my own description of Rudra in the book SHIVA, The Ultimate Time Traveller. :
He was now called Shiva the Auspicious, but He could remember that long ago, He was called Rudra the terrible. Rudra, who destroys the world. People were so scared of Him that the elders and Medicine men of all tribes learnt only a prayer of fear.
