About Shiva

Shiva is the Hindu God known as the Destroyer. The God of Transformation, Shiva is celebrated as the patron god of yoga, meditation, and arts.

Shiva calls us to confront our shadow, wake up to what is, and refine our awareness of what is real versus unreal.

Colors: white, blue, and black.

Animals: the bull, Nandi.

Objects: serpent, trident, club.

Shiva is often depicted with the sacred bull, Nandi, which means ‘giving joy.’

Shiva carries a trident, a club, a deerskin, and a drum in his hands. A snake and sometimes a garland of skulls (akin to Kali) wrap around his neck.

He wears a garland of skulls and a serpent around his neck and carries in his two (sometimes four) hands a deerskin, a trident, a small hand drum, or a club with a skull at the end.

The Shaivites celebrated Shiva as one of the supreme gods of the Hindu Pantheon. Shiva completes the cycle of existence after Vishnu, the Sustainer, and Brahma, the Creator.

Also known as the Adiyogi, Shiva is the Patron Saint of Yoga, Meditation, and Art. He is the all-knowing- all-seeing- with the power of ultimate consciousness.
