El nombre ''Shiva'' se deriva del término sánscrito que significa "auspicioso", "amable" o "amigable". Los muchos aspectos y funciones de Shiva están representados en los varios nombres que se le atribuyen. Las escrituras hindúes llamadas Shiva-Purana contienen 1 008 nombres de Shiva. Uno de ellos es Shambu, que significa "benevolente" o que "provoca felicidad". Otro nombre es Shankara, que significa "dador de alegría" u "otorgador del bien". Como Mahadeva, él es el "gran dios". | |||
Pashupati is another epithet, which means “lord of cattle.” As Lord of Cattle, Shiva is the herdsman or shepherd of souls. Shiva is portrayed riding a white bull named (“joyful”). According to Hindu tradition, he was one of Shiva’s devotees who assumed the form of a bull because the human body was not strong enough to contain his devotional ecstasy for Shiva. Nandi the bull is depicted in most Shiva temples. He is usually seated, facing the figure of Shiva. Nandi symbolizes the soul of man longing for God. He also represents the soul who is in deep contemplation of Shiva as the supreme Reality. Shiva will help you to unlock your supreme Reality. | Pashupati is another epithet, which means “lord of cattle.” As Lord of Cattle, Shiva is the herdsman or shepherd of souls.
