About this listen

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.

Devdutt is absolutely brilliant. He has a wonderful way to narrate our puranas, iythihas, mythology , culture and Hinduism in a simple and memorable manner. all these philosophy must be made mandatory at schools and colleges to build a society rich in knowledge,culture and traditions.
