Shiva is a study in contrasts. He symbolizes both contemplation and action. He is often shown deep in meditation as a mendicant yogi. As the Maha Yogi, or great yogi, he is the King of Yogis, the supreme embodiment of the spirit of asceticism. Shiva also personifies the dynamic universe. In the Hindu scripture Kurma-Purana, Shiva says: “I am the originator, the god abiding in supreme bliss. I, the yogi, dance eternally.”<ref>Stella Kramrisch, ''The Presence of Shiva'' (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1981), p. 439.</ref> | Shiva is a study in contrasts.
