The concept of life going on and on in cycles is very unique to Sanaatana Dharma

The concept of life going on and on in cycles is very unique to Sanaatana Dharma. We believe that the functions of creation and dissolution are parts of an ongoing cyclical phenomenon with neither a specific beginning nor a definite end. The end of one cycle marks the beginning of the following cycle. This can be compared to the cyclical changes of day and night where the end of night marks the beginning of day. Shiva represents that aspect of the Brahman that oversees this repetitive cyclical process.

Owing to His cosmic activity of dissolution and recreation, the words destroyer and destruction have been erroneously associated with Shiva. This difficulty arises when people fail to grasp the true significance of His cosmic role. The creation is sustained by a delicate balance between the opposing forces of good and evil. When sustenance of life becomes impossible due to disturbance in this balance caused by the decline of Dharma, Shiva dissolves the universe. This is followed by creation of the next cycle so that the un-liberated souls will have another opportunity to liberate themselves from bondage with the physical world. Thus, the merciful Lord Shiva protects the souls from pain and suffering that would be caused by a dysfunctional universe. Hence Shiva is worshipped as the Redeemer and Regenerator rather than a destroyer. This is comparable to a goldsmith melting old irreparable golden jewelry in order to create beautiful new ornaments out of the melted gold.! ✨👁🐍🔱💀📿🏔⏳🌙🌀🕉🐚🔔🏞🎨✨

Lord Shiva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality.

Lord Shiva is the immanent personal Lord, and He is transcendent Reality. Shiva is a God of boundless love. He loves each and every one. Each soul is created by Him and guided by Him through life. Shiva is everywhere. There is no place where Shiva is not. He is in you. He is in this temple. He is in the trees. He is in the sky, in the clouds, in the planets. He is the galaxies swirling in space and the space between galaxies too. He is the universe.

His cosmic dance of creation, preservation and dissolution is happening this very moment in every atom of the universe.
Shiva is, and is in all things. He permeates all things. He is immanent, with a beautiful form, a human-like form which can actually be seen and has been seen by many people in visions. He is also transcendent, beyond time, cause and space.

This is how Shiva can be seen everywhere and in everyone. He is there as the Soul of each soul. You can open your inner eye and see Him in others, see Him in the world as the world. Little by little, discipline yourself to meditate at the same time each day. Meditate, discover the silent center of yourself, then go deep within, to the core of your real Being. Slowly the purity comes. Slowly the awakening comes...! 🌀👁🕉💀🔱🐍🌙⌛️💙🌀🌼💚🙏🏻✨
