Publisher's Summary
Shiva, 'the destroyer' 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 the Nataraja. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik, introduces listeners 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.

I have learned a new dimension of Lord Shiva!
I am deep into mythology and related texts and this book has opened a huge and logical explanation of why behind many myths. It is a well researched and written book. I love the part where the innocence of Lord Shiva are highlighted and explained from a frustrating point of view of Goddess Parvati. Live this book!

A captivating exploration!
A beautifully written and illuminating book, narrated even better. Truly comprehensive exploration of Lord Shiva and the profound wisdom associated with him. Devdutt Pattanaik's blend of storytelling, symbolism, and philosophy makes this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in Hindu mythology, spirituality, or personal growth.

जय हो जय हो शंकरा भोलेनाथ शंकरा
जय हो जय हो शंकरा
भोलेनाथ शंकरा
आदि देव शंकरा
हे शिवाय शंकरा
तेरे जाप के बिना
भोलेनाथ शंकरा
चले ये सांस किस तरह
हे शिवाय शंकरा
मेरा कर्म तू ही जाने
क्या बुरा है क्या भला
तेरे रास्ते पे मैं तो
आँख मूँद के चला
तेरे नाम की जोत ने
सारा हर लिया तमस मेरा
नमो नमो जी शंकरा
भोलेनाथ शंकरा
जय त्रिलोकनाथ शम्भू
हे शिवाय शंकरा
नमो नमो जी शंकरा
भोलेनाथ शंकरा
रुद्रदेव हे महेश्वरा
सृष्टि के जनम से भी
ओ..
पहले तेरा वास था
ओ..
ये जग रहे या ना रहे
ओ..
रहेगी तेरी आस्था
ओ..

Very entertaining and educational. I am proud of this culture. A global work by Devdutt Patnayak. And no words for the oration by Sagar Arya. Thank you for this very important masterpiece.

A revolutionary look at Hinduism and Shiva
Phenomenal Book, Here is a little background about me, I was raised Hindu yet always had my doubts specially from being made to do it but reading this has given me a new lease on it, this book has redefined Hinduism for a Hindu all too bored of being forced.

No Secret
Had hoped to learn some unknown secrets about Shiva but ended up listening to some stories behind Shiva's names. Not worth buying for sure

Fantastic and thorough introduction to Shiva
A most straightforward explanation of Shaivism as a practical means to liberation. Provides historical, spiritual, mythical, and physical context to inform the whole of Shiva’s dance, and how we can rejoice and join in the dance.

The Power of Shiva
Pattanaik outlines the Vedic tradition reflected in the god Shiva. A mixture of myth telling, deep insights and response to Western interpretation this text provides an excellent introduction to the life changing grace of Lord Shiva.

Gaze expanding
Amazing journey from Shiva(purusha) to shakti(prakriti, sanskriti and brahmand) through their sons and other forms. Sometimes encourages readers towards author's bias of Shankra (wordly manners) Vishnu like god while the actual Shiva state is free from it.
Good metaphors, wish it was longer and more in depth.
