Lord Shiva

12

🕉️ Shiva is one of the most loved and powerful figures in Indian spirituality. Often called the "Lord of Transformation," Shiva represents both destruction and rebirth—like the fire that clears the forest so new life can grow. He’s not just a distant god in the clouds; he’s also a peaceful yogi who sits in deep meditation on snowy Mount Kailash, and a cosmic dancer whose rhythm keeps the universe flowing. People connect to him as a protector, a guide, and a symbol of deep stillness. Shiva shows us that endings are also beginnings. That silence holds truth. That strength can be gentle.
