Lord Shiva the destroyer

Shiva is the Hindu divine force of demolition. To the Hindus decimation is simply another stage throughout everyday life: the three most vital gods in Hinduism are Brahma (divine force of creation), Vishnu (lord of conservation) and Shiva (divine force of annihilation).

Ruler ShivaShiva speaks to awareness itself. His better half, Shakti, speaks to the vitality of life. He is regularly portrayed with three eyes: the third eye, on his temple, is the Eye of Shiva. It is said that when the Eye of Shiva is opened, the universe is crushed.

Shiva's aficionados drink Bhang, a mixture of cannabis and drain. As an austere (religious priest) Shiva is known to live in a characteristic mold, more similar to a creature or a recluse than a socialized man. He wears slag on his body as a portrayal of death and the renunciation of life.

Shiva has an assortment of different images related with him. He has a sickle moon (image of female sexuality) on his temple, close to his third eye. He conveys a trident which is an image of the three nadis (ways of profound vitality) joining in the head at the crown chakra.

In Hindu religion there are three otherworldly standards. These are known as sattva, rajas, and tamas. Sattva is the profound standard of otherworldly light. Envision a gleaming, grinning Buddha: that is a picture of sattva. Rajas is the dynamic rule. It is the standard of common movement, yet not really profoundly injected. Tamas is the detached rule, the rule of haziness. Shiva is illustrative of profound tamas: blessedness found even in parts of life we would prefer frequently not to look. He is known to reflect in memorial parks and wear skulls.

With a specific end goal to comprehend Shiva one must comprehend demise and pulverization as similarly flawless and basic parts of life as birth and creation. One of the most noteworthy dazes in yoga is known as Atma Darshan: association with the Atman, or the guideline of Self. Shiva Darshan is a considerably higher daze: association with, and demolition of, the standard of Self into nothingness.
