Specificatii
The traditional understanding of Shiva told through stories and
teachings from the Shiva Mahapurana - Explains Shiva's
contradictory forms, such as destroyer or benefactor, and how his
form depends on the needs of the devotee - Reveals how Shiva's
teachings allow one to see through the illusions at the root of all
grief and alienation in human life - Explores Shiva's 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 Shiva's many avatars such as Shambunatha and Bhola, as
well as Dakshinamurti who taught the shastras and tantras to the
rishis. She explores Shiva's relationships with Durga, Shakti,
Sati, and Parvati and with his sons Ganesha and Kartikeya.
Examining Shiva's 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 Shiva's
two sides, the fierce and the peaceful, Vanamali reveals that
Shiva's 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.
