LORD SHIVA
Lord Shiva is one of self-contained ash-smeared, principal deities of Hinduism. Considered as ultimate reality, transforming, destroying the force, principal god of the 'Trinity 'force of Hindu gods- Brahma(creator), Vishnu(preserver), Mahesh-Shiva (destroyer).
Word Shiva means,'Shi-Va 'i.e. that which is not. That which is, is a physical creation.
Shiva also means that which is pure and transcendental. He is a God who cannot be contained by space or time. He is everywhere, vast, boundless, formless, dimensionless and infinite .he is everywhere, Lord Shiva represents the stability and stillness of spiritual reality. He is the supreme hermit god of Hinduism, still and serene, visualized as a householder with a wife and children.
Nearly 99% of the cosmos is empty- this vast emptiness in cosmos is Shiva.
Lord Shiva (Shiva Tattva )is associated with various symbols and attachments:-
"Moon" signifies mind and wisdom. The crescent moon is the waning moon indicating the eventful end of things.
"Damru"-Shiva's rattle-drum is a symbol of rhythm, energy and perfect state of mental alignment. Shiva rattles the drum to comfort Brahma's mind and purify it by pulling the focus from ego conscious state to that of inactive, soul conscious state of ethereal joy, alertness, and stillness. It reminds us of moving away from bhoga( pleasure seeking ) to yoga ( conjoining of the body with ultimate god awareness state of the soul ). Rattle drum is created by two conjoint triangles one representing material reality and other spiritual reality.
"Serpent"- The hooded cobra is a symbol of alert and still Tapasvin- the meditating Shiva who sits still and alertly watches the world and rhythms of nature around.Some scriptures equate the serpent with Patanjali who wrote
''Yogasutra''. It represents the idea of still, serene, silent spiritual soul within the God which is silently watching the moving, restless material world – the Prakriti or the goddess.
"Trishul" –the three bladed trident represents the three aspects of consciousness- waking, dreaming and sleeping.I t also represents the three gunas - 'sattva , rajas and tamas. 'It refers to the three worlds, created by Brahma and destroyed by Shiva. These are the three constructions we occupy because of Maya. 'Me '(our physical and mental body, 'Mine ' ( the wealth, property, knowledge relationship, all that we claim ownership over and control)and what that is 'not mine
"Prakriti" - all that we claim ownership over but cannot control )Shiva is the upholder of these three states and signatory of the unity of three separate realities, the three worlds of flesh, mind, and society merged by the staff into one soul.
“Ash" -Shiva smears himself with ash to remind all of the immortality of the soul. Ash outlives body and cremation fire, is a symbol of indestructible soul.- the Atma that never dies. It is created when all is destroyed but which can not be broken down further. Ash represents the ‘destruction’ as well as ‘permanence’- the unchanging truth of the immortal soul released when the matter is destroyed.
" Tripundra" - is the sacred mark of three horizontal lines of ash on Shiva's head representing the three worlds that are deconstructed and destroyed by Shiva's third eye of wisdom, a state of inertia which states that nothing is to be done actively to destroy the three worlds of Brahma. The horizontal orientation
"Shiv linga" Lord Shiva is worshipped symbolically as a linga, a self-stirred phallus of a Tapasvin. It is a physical expression of mind focusing upwards on ( Chitta)engaging in the tranquility of discovering nature and divinity.I t is a still pillar of consciousness and fire. The 'sat-Chitta-Ananda 'liberated state, away from acquiring material pursuits. Some equate mitt is a fertility symbol. He who destroys is a creator. The erect phallus is a visual representation of spiritual bliss, born of self-containment in a meditative state with closed meditative eyes shut away from material pursuits.
"Tiger skin" - It is reminiscent of the tiger, killed fearlessly by Shiva. Nature frightens Brahma but Shiva subjugated nature crushing its intimidation.H e observes nature like a still and alert serpent coiled around his neck. Shiva is dressed in animal hide befitting his role as an ascetic. Use of animal hide suggests Shiva does not wear man wilderness provides.
"Rudraksha" - seeds of Elaeocarpus tree commonly found in foothills of Himalayas are symbols of celibacy and continence. They bestow potential spiritual power. Called 'gaze of Shiva'. Rudraksha string also represents the withdrawal of possibilities.
"Ganga" - means knowledge. The knowledge that purifies your soul. Head is the symbol of knowledge. Shiva bears the river goddess Ganga on top of his head. Shiva matted hair stills the turbulent river Ganga and makes the flow of river gentle so that it cannot overwhelm the world and mind with her flow.
The "3rd eye" is associated with alertness, awareness and transcendental wisdom free of all desires. It represents disdain for desire, the indifference for things that are desirable as well as things that are undesirable. His third eye release flame that destroyed ‘Karma’
“Half Open Eyes” – indicates the withdrawn, hesitant engagement of Lord Shiva with the worldly matters following his marriage to goddess Parvati. His closed eyes represent the disconnect from the outside world. He refuses his observation of the world and his indifference to Karma, to Yama and Tripura.
"Nandi" -the bull, his vehicle represents Shiva's autonomy and capability. Nandi also represents indifference and freedom. He is a potent power of the hermit ascetic who is a non-interfering and least concerned relationship with society.
"Bel - Bilwa leaves"- Shiva is offered the three-leaved sprig of Bilva. The bilwa spring on Shiva’s throat has three leaves United at the stem to declare the unit of three separate realities of Prakriti (my self, my world, the rest of the world) into one soul that is represented by the stem of the twig. The stem is the wisdom or the soul conscious state of mind that we seek from the spiritual teachers which help us recognize the realities of ‘Maya’ and ‘Moksha’.
‘Clay Pipe’ – used to smoke hemp and withdraw further from material reality.
‘Janeo’- the sacred thread he wears over the left shoulder is indicative of his Vedic wisdom.
‘Mountains’ – Shiva is surrounded by ice-covered mountains as all heat is locked within Shiva’s body following his withdrawal from the surrounding material world.
SHIVA IS KNOWN BY VARIOUS NAMES
"Pashupati" Shiva reveals the power of higher brain over the animal brain thus called Pashupati, master of animal instincts.
"Yamantaka" Shiva is Yamantaka, the killer of Yama- who supervises the death and birth of man so Shiva wants nothing. By destroying Yama he destroys Karma, that which rotates the wheel of life. No death, no rebirth.
‘Kamantaka’ – Siva is the destroyer of Karma-the god who provokes in us desire for things.
‘Tripurantaka’ – The destroyer of three subjective worlds- the earth, atmosphere, and sky.
"Mrityunjaya" he is mrityunjaya , one who helps to overpower death.
"Yogeshwar" chanting of Om Namah Shivaya bequeaths health and stability. Thus Shiva called Yogeshwar. Master of the serpent, also known by name of Patanjali who wrote 'Yogsutra'.
"Ardhanareshwar" Shiva's body is merged with Shakti ( Parvati) so Shiva is a half woman.
"Bhole Nath" a simpleton sage who has no guile.
‘Neelkanth’- Lord Shiva as ‘Shankara’ the householder restricts the poison’ Halahal’ (he consumed to save the world that erupted after, ‘Samundra Manthan’) to the throat area which turned his throat blue. Thus called Neelkanth.
‘Natraja’- Shiva is the Lord of dance and theater.
-He performs ‘Tandava’(aggressive masculine dance) in an angry state of mind when sages attacked him after watching him naked.
-He raised left foot above the ground pointing to the moving left foot with his hand draws attention to the impermanent existence of material world.
-Shiva is ‘Ekpada’ who balances himself firmly on one- ( right leg). The right side represents still and stable spiritual reality. He points towards the futility of transient material reality that breeds fears and insecurities.
-His raised right hand signifies fearlessness.

Doha
Jai Ganesh Girija suvan, Mangal mul sujan
Kahit Ayodhya das tum, dev abhay vardan
Jai Girijapati din dayala, sada karat santan pritpala.
Bhol chahdrama sohat nike, kanan kundal nag phani ke.
Ang gaur, shir gangabanae, mundamal tan chhar lagae.
Vastra khal bagambar sohe, chhavi ko dekh nag muni mohe.
Maina matu ki havai dulari, bam ang sohat chhavi niyari
Kar men trishul sohat chhavi bhari karai sada shatrun shahkari
Nandi Ganesh sohain tahan kaise, sagar madhya kamal hai jaise.
Kartik shyam aur ganarau, ya chhavi ko kahi jat na kau.
Devani jab hi ai pukara, tabahin dukh Prabhu ap nivara.
Kiya upadrav Tarak bhari, devani sab mili turnahin juhari.
Turant shadanan ap pathayo, lay nimesh mahin mari girayo.
Ap jaladhar asur sanhara, suyash tumhara vidit sansara.
Tripurasur sang yudh machai, sabahin kripa kari linh bachai.
Kiya tapahin Bhagirath bhari, purve pratigya tasu purari.
Davan manan tum sam kou nahin, sevak ustuti karat sadai.
Ved nam mahima tab gai, akath anadi bhed nahin pai
Pragateu dadi-manthan te jvala, jare surasur bahe bihala.
Dindayal tahan kari sahai, Nilkanth tab nam kahai.
Pujan Ramchandra jab kinha, jit ke Lanka Vibhishan dinha.
Sahas kamal men ho rahe dhari, kinha pariksha tabahi purari
Ek kamal prabhu rakhyau gohi, kamal nayan pujan chahan soi
Kathin bhakti dekhi Prabhu Shankar, bhaye prasan diye ichhatvar.
Jai Jai Jai Anant avinasi, karat kripa sab ke ghat vasi
Dushat sakal nit mohi satavaen, bhramat rahe mohi chain na avaen.
Trahi trahi main nath pukarun, yahi avasari mohi, ani ubaro.
Lai trishul shatruni ko maro, sankat se mohe ani ubaro.
Mata pita bhrata sab hoi, sankat men puchhat nahin koi.
Svarmi ek hai as tumhari, ai haranu ab sankat bhari
Dhan nirdhan ko det sadai, jo koi jancha so phal pahin.
Ustuti kehi vidhi karaun tumhari, shamahu nath ab chuk hamari
Shahkar ho sankat ke nashan, vighna vinashan mangal karan.
Yogi yati muni dhyan lagavain, sharad Narad shish nivavain.
Namo, namo jai namo Shivaye, sur Brahmadik par na paye.
Jo yah path kare man lai, tapar hot hain Shambhu sahai.
Rinya jo koi ho adhikari, path kare so pavan-hari
Putra ho na ichchha kari koi, nishchai Shiv prasad te hoi
Pandit triyodashi ko lavain, dhyan purvak horn karavain.
Tryodashi vrita kare hamesh, tan nahin take rahe kalesh.
Dhup dip naived chadhavai, Shankar sanmukh path sunavai.
Janam Janam ke pap nashavai, ahtvas Shivpur men pavai.
Kahe Ayodhya as tumhari, jan sakal dukh harahu hamari.
DOHA:
Nitya Nema kari Pratahi
Patha karau Chalis
Tum Meri Man Kamana
Purna Karahu Jagadish

mahimnah param te parama vidusho yadyasadrishi
stutir brahma dina mapitadava sannastvayi girah,
atha vacyah sarvah svamati parina mavadhi grinan
mamapyeshah stotre hara nirapavadah parikarah
Sri Pushpadanta said:
If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of’ Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. If no one can be blamed when they praise You according to their intellectual powers, then my attempt to compose a hymn cannot be reproached. (1)
Text 2
Atitah panthanam tava ca mahima vanmanasayor
atad vyavrttya yam cakita mabhi dhatte shrutirapi,
sa kasya stotavyah katividha gunah kasya vishayah
pade tvarvacine patati na manah kasya na vacah.
Your greatness is beyond the reach of mind and speech. Who can properly praise that which even the Vedas describe with trepidation, by means of’ ‘neti-neti / not this, not this’? How many qualities does He possess? By whom can He be perceived? Yet whose mind and speech do not turn to the form later taken by Him (saguna) (2)
Text 3
Madhu sphita vacah paramam amritam nirmitavatas

mama tvetam vanim guna kathana punyena bhavatah
punam ityarthe’smin puramathana buddhir vyavasita.
O Brahman! Do even Brihaspati’s praises cause wonder to You, the author of the nectar like sweet Vedas? 0 destroyer of the three cities, the thought that by praising Your glories I shall purify my speech has prompted me to undertake this work. (3)
Text 4
Tavaisvaryam yat taj jagadudaya raksa pralayakrit

O Giver of boons! Some stupid people produce arguments–pleasing to the ignorant but in fact hateful– to refute Your Divinity, which creates, preserves and destroys the world, which is divided into three bodies (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) according to the three gunas, and which is described in the three Vedas. (4)

To fulfill what desire, assuming what form, with what instruments, support and material does that Creator create the three worlds? This kind of futile argumentation about You whose divine nature is beyond the reach of intellect, makes the perverted vociferous, and brings delusion to men. (5)

O Lord of gods! Can the worlds be without origin, though they have bodies? Is their creation possible without a creator? Who else but God can initiate the creation of the worlds? Because they are fools they raise doubts about Your existence. (6)

Different paths (to realization) arc enjoined by the three Vedas, by Sankhya, Yoga, Pashupata (Shaiva) (doctrine and Vaishnava Shastras. People follow different paths, straight or crooked, according to their temperament, depending on which they consider best, or most appropriate–and reach You alone just as rivers enter the ocean. (7)

O Giver of boons! A great bull, a wooden hand rest, an axe, a tiger skin, ashes, serpents, a human skull and other such things–these are all You own, though simply by casting Your eyes on gods You gave them great treasures which they enjoy. Indeed one whose delight is in the Self cannot be deluded by the mirage of sense objects. (8)

O Destroyer of the demon Pura, some say that the whole universe is eternal while others say that all is transitory. Others still, hold that it is eternal and non-eternal — having different characteristics. Bewildered by all this, I do not feel ashamed to praise You; indeed my loquacity is an indication of my boldness. (9)

O Girisha, when You took the form of a pillar of fire, Brahma trying from above and Vishnu trying from below failed to measure You. Afterwards, when they praised You with great faith and devotion, You revealed yourself to them of Your own accord; does not surrender to You bear fruit? (10)

O Destroyer of Tripura, it was because of that great devotion, which prompted him to offer his heads as lotuses to Your feet, that the ten-headed Ravana was still with arms and eager for fresh war after he had effortlessly rid the three worlds of all traces of enemies. (11)

But when he (Ravana) extended the valour of his arms-whose strength was obtained by worshipping You- to Kailas, Your abode, You moved the tip of Your toe, and he did not find a resting place even in the nether world. Truly, when affluent the wicked become deluded. (12)

O Giver of boons, since Bana was the worshipper of Your feet is it to be wondered at that he had the three worlds at his command and put to shame the wealth of Indra? What prosperity does not come from bowing down the head to You? (13)

O Three-Eyed One, who drank poison out of compassion for gods and demons when they were distraught at the sudden prospect of the destruction of the universe, surely the dark blue stain on Your throat has beautified You. Even deformity is to be admired in one who is given to freeing the world of fear. (14)

O Lord, the god of love, whose arrows never fail in the world of gods and men, become nothing but an object of memory because he looked on You as an ordinary god (his body being burnt by Your look of wrath). An insult to the self controlled is not conducive to good. (15)

When You danced to save the world, the earth was suddenly thrown into a precarious state at the striking of Your feet; the spatial regions and the hosts of stars felt oppressed by the movement of Your massive club-like arms; and the heavens became miserable as their sides were constantly struck by Your waving matted hair. Indeed it is Your very mightiness which is the cause of the trouble. (16)

The river which pervades the sky and whose foam crests look all the more beautiful because of stars and planets, seems no more than a drop of water when on Your head. That same river has turned the world into islands surrounded by waters. From this can be judged vastness of Your divine body. (17)

When You wanted to burn the three cities of the demons – which were but a piece of straw to You–the earth was Your chariot, Brahma Your charioteer, the great mountain Meru Your bow, the sun and the moon the wheels of Your chariot, Vishnu Your arrow. Why all this paraphernalia? The Lord is not dependent on others. He was only playing with things at His command. (18)

O Destroyer of the three cities, Hari rooted out His own lotus-eye to make up the difference when one flower was missing in His offering of 1,000 lotuses to Your feet. For this great devotion You awarded the discus (Sudarshan Chakra) ~ with which Hari protects the three worlds. (19)

When a sacrifice has ended, You ever keep awake to bestow its fruit on the sacrificer. How can any action bear fruit if not accompanied by worship of You, 0 Lord? Therefore, knowing You to be the Giver of fruits of sacrifices and putting faith in the Vedas, people become resolute about the performance of sacrificial acts. (20)

O Giver of refuge, even that sacrifice where Daksha, the Lord of creation and expert in sacrifices, was the sacrificer, rishis were priests, gods participants, was destroyed by You who are habitually the Giver of fruits of sacrifices. Surely sacrifices cause injury to the sacrificers in the absence of faith and devotion. (21)

O Lord, the fury of You who became a hunter with a bow in hand has not as yet left Brahma who, overcome by incestuous lust and finding his own daughter transforming herself into a hind, desired to ravish her in the body of a stag and keenly pierced by Your arrows, he (Brahma) has fled to the sky(22)

O Destroyer of the three cities, 0 Giver of boons, is Parvati who saw the god of love, bow in hand, burnt like a piece of straw in a minute by You, still proud of her beauty and believing that You are fascinated by her, because she was allowed to occupy half Your body because of her austerities? Ah, surely all women are under delusion. You have completely conquered Your senses. (23)

O Destroyer of the god of love, 0 Giver of boons, Your play is in cremation grounds, Your companions are ghosts, You smear Your body with the ashes of burnt bodies, human skulls are Your garland-all Your conduct is indeed inauspicious. But You promote the greatest good of those who remember You. (24)

O Giver of refuge, with the three letters A, U, M, indicating the three Vedas, three states, three worlds and the three gods, the word AUM(Om) describes You separately. By its subtle sound the word Om collectively denotes You – Your absolute transcendental state which is free from change. (27)
