Description

:iconcopyrighted1plz::iconcopyrighted2plz:

Shiva is 'shakti' or power, Shiva is the destroyer, the most powerful god of the Hindu pantheon and one of the godheads in the Hindu Trinity. He  is associated with Moksha which is relief from the cycle of birth and death. By Moksha, He is actually taking us out from the illusionary world of Kama (desire), Krodha (anger), Moha (illusion), Mada (intoxication) and Lobha (greed) and making us realize who we are and what is our true purpose of existence.

According to the Shaivism sect of Hinduism, the highest form of Shiva is formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman (universal principle), and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe. Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.
