Shiva
One of the principal deities of Hinduism, Lord Shiva is also one of the most complex and powerful manifestations of the Supreme Being. Shiva is the supreme deity of the Shaivite branch of Hinduism and is worshipped in many different forms, but most significantly as the Shiva Linga and as Nataraja, the Lord of Dance. He is also frequently represented in images as being immersed in deep meditation in his traditional abode of Mount Kailash. |

Quote of the Day
Hinduism...gave itself no name, because it set itself no sectarian limits; it claimed no universal adhesion, asserted no sole infallible dogma, set up no single narrow path or gate of salvation; it was less a creed or cult than a continuously enlarging tradition of the God ward endeavor of the human spirit. An immense many-sided and many staged provision for a spiritual self-building and self-finding, it had some right to speak of itself by the only name it knew, the eternal religion, Santana Dharma...
