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.
 Lakshmi
normally appears on one of three vehicles. In her enlightened
aspect, sattvic guna, she accompanies Vishnu on Garuda. In
her materialistic aspect, raja guna, she appears with two elephants
on either side of her. The owl depicts the pernicious aspect
of wealth. Though its considered a bird of ill omen and a symbol
of darkness, the owl also symbolizes wisdom and intelligence
because of its ability to presage events.
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.

(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 .
Siva is generally worshipped in the form of
the phallus (linga) fixed on a pedestal. Energy
can neither be created nor destroyed & the Linga symbolises
this scientific fact. The Linga denotes the primeval energy
of the Creator. At the end of Creation all Gods find their resting
place in the Linga - Brahma being absorbed into the right, Vishnu
being
