SHIVA - THE DIVINE CREATOR!!

Shiva... the destroyer , the creator , Thought to be sign of death by some and the forgiver of lives by others . Worshiped in his idol form(lingam) by few, and in his omnipresent meditation way by others. Considered the whole universe by some and the smallest particle..the very base(beginning) of any being or thing by the rest ....

With so many names ..Neelkanth, Bholenath, Chandrashekhar,...........The one that has made the strongest impact on us people is MAHADEV ........... THE GREATEST OF ALL GODS!!

We all know that Shiva wears ash on his body (which is grey) ....so his color should ideally be Grey, but we still like to think of him to be Blue as it just makes him more God - like or divine .

There is no proof of it but Grey is thought to be associated with sadness and sometimes even death and who wants to think of god as negative ? ..

Now, Moving on to...Why and how was he accepted by people and kings to be god ? and ....... Why did he get his yet another name 'Rudra' ?

so it is believed that in olden times the kings performed many yagyas( sacred rituals) and would invite all the Gods and give the hand of their daughters to them . Now Daksha , the father of Sati also performed many such yagyas and would call all gods except Shiva ..saying that Shiva lived with ghosts and atmaas(souls) in the mountains and wore ash and tiger skin . Sati later married Shiva and jumped in the yagya fire angry with her father insulting him . This angered Shiva and ....that is when he did his prominent TANDAV ...THE DANCE OF DESTRUCTION .. angered he turned to his frightening form ...........thus the name RUDRA ( meaning 'angry')..

THE SAMUDRA MANTHAN .....the reason life , gods , planets exist is because lord Shiva saved them by drinking VISH(poison) and thus , his name NEELKANTH ( the one with a blue neck)

Lord Shiva is thought to be an 'alien' by many ....saying that he used some kind of undefined technology to fit the Pineal gland in the humans brain and enhance their thinking and capability..The pea sized gland is surrounded with a structure of tissues and muscles that resemble that of an eye ..(close to the Egyptian eye)..like LORD SHIVA'S THIRD EYE ....so, Does this mean that we humans by birth are directly connected to the higher spirituality ......God himself ?

Well, There is a possibility that anything is true ...after all, not ruling out the probability of our Mahadev being and alien ........not after this reasoning .......

Remember the shape of the SHIVLING (lingam) it is Cylindrical in shape with a dome connected at the top....now , if you compare that to our space ship

( our satellites or, space shuttle) they look very similar .....Reminding you of how we humans ( living on Earth) go to other planets in our space shuttles or spaceships to establish life there

( by growing plants or finding traces of life etc.) .........so , now consider this ... LORD SHIVA was an ALIEN(from another universe or planet) who came to our planet ( Earth) with CELESTIAL TECHNOLOGY and EMERGED from the SHIVLING( the spaceship) to make the human race more advance and improvise on it ..........and left with us all new and smarter ( thus, may be leading to our own destruction) ..AS WHATEVER IS CREATED IS ALWAYS DESTROYED

And I would like to end on this note ...........hope you found this interesting and enlightening
