property="og:description" content="The traditional understanding of Shiva told
through stories and teachings from the Shiva Mahapurana
Explains Shivas contradictory forms, such as destroyer or benefactor, and

how his form depends on the needs of the devotee
Reveals how Shivas teachings allow one to see through the illusions at the
root of all grief and alienation in human life
Explores Shivas relationships with Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and
with his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya
Shiva, the most ancient and complex deity of the Hindu pantheon, has been
portrayed in many contrasting lights: destroyer and benefactor, ascetic and
householder, wild demon slayer and calm yogi atop Mount Kailash. Drawing from
the Hindu sacred text the Shiva Mahapurana--said to be written by Shiva
himself--Vanamali selects the essential stories of Shiva, both those from his
dark wild side and those from his benevolent peaceful side.
Vanamali discusses Shivas many avatars such as Shambunatha and Bhola, as well
as Dakshinamurti who taught the shastras and tantras to the rishis. She
explores Shivas relationships with Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and with
his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya. Examining Shivas acceptance of outsiders,
Vanamali explains why ghosts and ghouls are his attendants and why his
greatest devotees are demon kings, like Ravana. She includes famous Shiva
stories such as the Descent of the River Ganga and Churning the Milky Ocean as
well as those that reveal the origin of the festival of lights, Diwali; his
creation of the cosmic couple, or hierogamos; and how Shiva and Parvati taught
the world the secrets of Kundalini Shakti. The author also draws upon Shaivite
teachings to illustrate the differences between Western science and Vedic
science and their explanations for the origins of consciousness.
Integrating Shivas two sides, the fierce and the peaceful, Vanamali reveals
that Shivas form depends on the needs of the devotee. Understanding his
teachings allows one to see through the illusions at the root of all grief and
alienation in human life, for Shiva is the wielder of maya who does not fall
under its spell. While Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, Shiva is
the remover of tears."><meta property="og:image" content="https://imgv2-2f.scribdassets.com/img/word_document/230483318/original/3a0fd6da78/1458992552"

Shiva told through stories and teachings from the <em>Shiva Mahapurana</em>
<br> <br> Explains Shivas contradictory forms, such as destroyer or
benefactor, and how his form depends on the needs of the devotee <br> <br>
root of all grief and alienation in human life <br> <br> Explores Shivas
relationships with Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and with his sons Ganesha
and Kartikeya <br> <br>Shiva, the most ancient and complex deity of the Hindu
pantheon, has been portrayed in many contrasting lights: destroyer and
benefactor, ascetic and householder, wild demon slayer and calm yogi atop
Mount Kailash. Drawing from the Hindu sacred text the <em>Shiva
Mahapurana</em>--said to be written by Shiva himself--Vanamali selects the
essential stories of Shiva, both those from his dark wild side and those from
his benevolent peaceful side. <br> <br>Vanamali discusses Shivas many avatars
such as Shambunatha and Bhola, as well as Dakshinamurti who taught the
shastras and tantras to the rishis. She explores Shivas relationships with
Durga, Shakti, Sati, and Parvati and with his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya.
Examining Shivas acceptance of outsiders, Vanamali explains why ghosts and
ghouls are his attendants and why his greatest devotees are demon kings, like
Ravana. She includes famous Shiva stories such as the Descent of the River
Ganga and Churning the Milky Ocean as well as those that reveal the origin of
the festival of lights, Diwali; his creation of the cosmic couple, or
hierogamos; and how Shiva and Parvati taught the world the secrets of
Kundalini Shakti. The author also draws upon Shaivite teachings to illustrate
the differences between Western science and Vedic science and their
explanations for the origins of consciousness. <br> <br>Integrating Shivas
two sides, the fierce and the peaceful, Vanamali reveals that Shivas form
depends on the needs of the devotee. Understanding his teachings allows one to
see through the illusions at the root of all grief and alienation in human
life, for Shiva is the wielder of <em>maya</em> who does not fall under its
spell. While Ganesha is known as the remover of obstacles, Shiva is the
remover of tears.<div class="published"><strong>Published: </strong><span
