THE STORY OF SHIVA

  • Shivs is also known as bholenath for his child like disposition.
  • He is also seen as love personified.
  • While his wife as Shakti is out battling demons, he stays at home to take care of the children.
  • And when Shakti dances , in tandav , that sends tremors around - after vanquishing the demons, Shiva lies quietly beneath her feet, in the hope of calming her by making her aware that if she continued , she would end up crushing him under her feet.
  • Many of these stories indicate gender equity and the importance and beauty of loving togetherness. People invoke the blessings of Shiva for a happy and peaceful life.
