| Description | Shiva is the third deity in the Hindu triad. He ought to be the most terrible one because he presides over destruction, whereas Brahma and Vishnu are associated with creation and preservation respectively. Yet Shiva is as much loved by mortals as Vishnu is. He inspires fear in the hearts of the wicked; love and affection in the hearts and the pious.Hindu mythology sometimes attributes all the three acts of creation, preservation and destruction to Shiva. In the Maheshamurti at Elephanta, all these aspects are combined. The confrontation between Shiva and Arjuna is one of the many dramatic episodes in the Mahabharata. To the warrior-devotee Arjuna, Shiva appears, most appropriately as a warrior, a Kirata. The Lord takes pleasure in battling with His devotee before rewarding him.The story of Shiva appearing as a fisherman is told in the Tamil classic, the Tiruvachagam.The story of Markandeya attaining immortality by the grace of Lord Shiva is taken from the Skanda Purana. |
