A WONDERFULLY CREATIVE INSIGHT INTO THE LEGEND AND SYMBOLISM OF SHIVA AS A GOD AND HIS ROLE IN THE HINDU TRINITY ALONGSIDE VISHNU AND BRAHMA
Shiva, ʻthe destroyerʼ among the Hindu Trinity (of gods), is depicted in many contradictory manners. He is an ascetic who wears animal skin, his body smeared with ashes. Contradictory to his wild nature, he is also depicted as having a family, with a beautiful wife and two children. There are many more such varied representations of Shiva, the most prominent of these being the Linga and theNataraja. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik, introduces the readers to these varied aspects and representations and then sets about interpreting them. He explains the different anomalies and conflicts in beliefs, as well as the symbolism, rituals and reasons behind Hindu worship.

The book is so deeply into identifying
Shiva, that one can just not stop reading once it begins. It answers almost all the questions on Shiva. Concepts of Prakriti, Purusha, Brahma, Brahmanda, Bhairava, Rudraksha, Linga, all have been detailed in such spectacular manner that you're bound to fall in love with the book, and eventually, Shiva.
Left side of the book is full of pictures along with details of what it depicts, whereas right side of the book is where the writings/secrets continue.
Thank you for writing this book. Loved it. :)

I suggest to read slowly and with patience. This helps to understand the depth of spiritual aspects.
The power of being yourself is far greater than the constraints of the world.
