Shiva
is always linked with Shakti-the female power of the Mother Goddess,
the Devi. So in our mythology, among all gods, it is the mendicant
Shiva who is portrayed as a family man with a wife and children.
Shiva is married to Parvati, one aspect of the Devi who is called
by many faces. She can be the generous, food bearing Ma Annapurna
and the fierce warrior goddess like Durga.
Shiva and Parvati's two sons are Kartikeya, who is the general
of the army of the gods and Ganesha, the benign elephant headed
deity of good fortune. This family stays at Mount Kailash but
when the wanderlust hits Shiva and he wanders among the ghosts
and goblins in cremation grounds he is accompanied by his two
companions Nandi and Bhringi. Nandi is also the bull that is Shiva's
chosen vehicle.

Lord Shiva represents the aspect of the Supreme
Being and is considered to be the destroyer of evil and sorrow.
Shiva is 'tri netra' or three eyed, and is 'neela kantha' - blue
necked. Shiva - Nataraja is the Divine Cosmic Dancer. Shiva -
Ardhanareeswara is both man and woman. Shiva is both static and
dynamic and is both creator and destroyer. He is the source of
fertility in all living beings. He has gentle as well as fierce
forms. Shiva is the greatest of renouncers as well as the ideal
lover. He destroyes evil and protects good. He bestows prosperity
on worshipers although he is austere. He is omnipresent and resides
in everyone as pure consciousness.
Lord Shiva is the Lord of mercy and compassion.
He protects devotees from evil forces such as lust, greed, and
anger. He grants boons, bestows grace and awakens wisdom in His
devotees. Lord Shiva is the third member of the Hindu Trinity,
the other two being Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. Owing to His
cosmic activity of dissolution and recreation, the words destroyer
and destruction have been erroneously associated with Lord Shiva.
Lord Shiva dissolves the universe for creation
of the next cycle so that the unliberated souls will have another
opportunity to liberate themselves from bondage with the physical
world. Thus, Lord Shiva protects the souls from pain and suffering
that would be caused by a dysfunctional universe.Shiva
is inseparable from Shakti - Parvati the daughter of Himavaan
- Haimavati. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without
Shiva, the two are one - or the absolute state of being - consciousness
and bliss.
The names of the deified faces with their elements
are Mahadeva (earth), Bhairava (fire), Nandi (air), Uma (water)
and Sadasiva (space). Panchamukha lingams have been seen from
the 2nd century onwards.
Shiva Lingam form of Shiva is what is held in
reverence in temples all over the sub continent. The Lingam is
a symbol. It is a symbol of that which is invisible yet omnipresent.
It is hence a a visible symbol of the Ultimate Reality which is
present in us and in all objects of creation .
