The story of Siva is scattered in various Indian documents. His myths are found in the Sanskrit, the Upanishads and Purana.Siva is one of the chief Hindu gods, as famous as Brahma and Vishnu. It is said that he had great power and, with the help of the gods, used an arrow to destroy the city built by gold, silver and iron, that is, the destruction of the three capitals, so Siva was also known as the destroyer of the three demons.According to legend, his wife, the Snow Mountain Goddess, covered Shiva's eyes with her hands from behind, and immediately a third eye appeared from Shiva's forehead.

He swallowed the poison and his neck was burned black, so he was called "green neck".Hinduism believes that "destruction" has the meaning of "rebirth", so Linga, a male reproductive instrument, is a symbol of his creativity and is worshipped by sexists and Shivans.One day Vishnu argued with Brahma about who was more worthy of respect. While they were arguing, a pillar of fire appeared in front of them, as if to burn down the universe. The two great gods were so shocked that they decided that they should look for the source of the pillar of fire. So Vishnu turned into a huge wild boar and searched down the pillar for a thousand years; Brahma became a fast swan and looked up the pillar for a thousand years. But none of them reached the end of the post, so they went back to the same place exhausted. When they returned to their place of departure, Shiva appeared in front of them; now they realized that the pillar turned out to be Siva's "Linga". So the two great gods worshipped Shiva as the greatest and most venerable god. Therefore, the Shiva followers of Hinduism regard Siva as the highest god in the universe, and the two great gods Vishnu and Brahma are under him.In the Indian epic Ramayana, there is a passage entitled "the Origin of the Ganges". The story says that the Hindu god Siva had coitus with Uma for 100 years at a time, and the gods were alarmed by Shiva's fertility. He begged Shiva to pour his semen into the Ganges, which is why the water of the Ganges came from heaven.Shiva is the god of asceticism, practicing asceticism all the year round in the Karasa Mountains in the Himalayas, that is, the Gang Rinpozi Peak in Xizang Pulan County, obtaining the most esoteric knowledge and magical powers through the strictest asceticism and the most thorough contemplation.Or the god of dance, who likes to dance when he is happy and sad, creates two kinds of dance, and is known as the king of dance. Dance symbolizes the glory of Shiva and the eternal movement of the universe, which is to make the universe immortal. But at the end of an era, he accomplished the destruction of the world by dancing the Tandawa dance and merged it into the world spirit. The dance posture of Shiva, known as Nataraja, is one of the most popular statues of Shiva in ancient India.The statue of Siva in the Metropolitan Museum of New York City, USA, he is the commander of demons and ghosts. His image is depicted as five heads, three eyes and four hands, with three forks, pitchers, snails, drums, etc., dressed in animal fur clothes, covered with gray, decorated with a crescent on his head, hair coiled in horns, and a symbol of the Ganges River. the mount is a big white cow.Siva has the meaning of "auspicious" and is another name for Rudra, the god of storm, in the Rigveda Sutra. On the one hand, he is a god of destruction such as rain and thunder, and on the other hand, he is a healing god for treating diseases.One of Shiva's good deeds is the distribution of seven sacred rivers. The Ganges surges down the mountain around the city of Brahma on Mount Meru in the Himalayas. In order to cushion the torrent so as not to cause disaster, Shiva stood under the river, which wound its way through his strands of hair and divided into seven strands, which became seven sacred rivers.Siva's dress seemed out of place when she was with the other richly dressed gods. His personality is also arrogant and withdrawn (especially compared with the warm-hearted Vishnu). Siva quarreled with many gods and even destroyed the sacrifices of the gods. Many other gods thought he was a Brahma killer because he cut off a head of Brahma and because they argued who was the creator of the universe. In the end, Shiva was enraged and was wrapped in anger, and when the gods saw her, they called her "Bhirava" (the horrible killer). For this crime he was punished as a tramp and atoned for his penance; the gods also mocked him as an ugly homeless beggar, dirty, bad-tempered and haunting the graveyard. But in the end, Siva, like Brahma and Vishnu, had his own kingdom of heaven, located on Mount Kelassa in the Himalayas, where Shiva practiced hard, where the Ganges flowed down from his head.From left: the god Shiva,ParvatiSadie is the daughter of Dasha, the son of Brahma. She is deeply in love with Shiva and is determined to marry Shiva. But her father, Dasha, hated Shiva very much, so he did not invite Shiva to attend the son-in-law election meeting. The infatuated Sadie held the wreath for her son-in-law and prayed piously for Siva from afar to receive the wreath. It is strange to say that Shiva caught the wreath out of thin air and naturally became the son-in-law of Dasha.
On one occasion, his father-in-law invited the gods to dinner and deliberately left out his son-in-law who had a bad relationship with him, so as to humiliate him. Sadie asked her father about the crime, and as a result, her father not only denigrated Shiva in front of the gods, but even Sadie was laughed at by other gods. Sadie was so ashamed and angry that she threw herself on fire in public (this is also the origin of Indian custom requiring widows to set themselves on fire to die their father). Shiva was heartbroken when she learned that her wife had humiliated him in order to humiliate him. The heartbroken Shiva killed her father-in-law, Dasha, beheaded him, set fire to the heavenly world, danced in the fire, and planned to destroy the world. In order to protect the world, Vishnu cast a spell to fight Shiva and cut Sadi's body into 50 pieces, scattered among the three worlds. Brahma also came forward to make peace. Shiva felt discouraged and heartbroken, holding his wife's body. Shiva danced around the world (so Siva is also known as the god of dance, whose dance symbolizes the destruction of the world). Hidden in despair, hidden into the Himalayas asceticism retire.
After her death, Sadie was reincarnated as the daughter of the Himalayas: the Snow Mountain Goddess (there is a legend that Siva's real wife is the Tippi in the combination of the three goddesses, while Sadie (Sati) and the Snow Mountain Goddess (Parvati) are two of the four incarnations of Tippi. The other two avatars are difficult to approach the mother and the time mother.
Ten thousand years later, Sadie was reincarnated and became the daughter of the Himalayan god, known as the snow goddess Parvati. As a result of her marriage in a previous life, she fell madly in love with Shiva in penance and wanted to marry him, but Shiva had become ruthless and indifferent to her beauty and enthusiasm.
Pavaldi asked for penance next to Siva and could not survive her death. Although he agreed to her request, he was still unmoved to her.
Pavaldi had to ask Cupid to cast a spell, hoping to make Siva fall in love with her, but failed. At a critical juncture, Siva discovered Cupid's trick, opened his invincible third eye, and burned Cupid into a wisp of smoke with divine fire. Without a trace.
The Snow Mountain Goddess still did not give up, so she carried out more severe penance. After three thousand years of penance that shocked the gods of the three worlds, Siva finally touched the heart of Siva, not only married, but also promised: from now on, I am the slave you bought with penance. From then on, husband and wife fell in love and admired people and gods.
The Snow Mountain Goddess made countless efforts to finally make Shiva, who was discouraged by the loss of his ex-wife Sadie, change her mind and remarry her. After a hundred years, the Snow Mountain Goddess gave birth to a son with Shiva.Muruga, the god of war(Saijiantuo)The other son isGanesh or Ganesh Gnashia(Elephant trunk god).

Shiva's most powerful weapon is the third eye on her forehead. This eye can emit a divine fire that destroys everything in the universe. In the ancient Indian Sanskrit epic Mahabharata, Siva used the divine fire from the third eye to destroy three giant castles in space. At the end of each cosmic period, Siva would open his third eye, and all gods, human beings and animals in the universe would be destroyed by his fire. In addition to the eyes that emit divine fire, Siva has other types of weapons, a Trident called Binaka and a bow called Ajagawa. There are not many records about the latter two, usually only that "Binaka" is a symbol of lightning, meaning that Siva is the god of the storm.Shiva swallowed poison juice
In Hindu mythology, although gods live longer than mortals, they eventually give birth, old age, sickness and death. The gods have always been plagued by this problem, and later there was a fierce dispute with Asura. In order to mediate this dispute, Brahma consulted with Asura and the gods and decided to work together to stir the sea. It can make the sea appear the elixir of immortality-Suma. Later, both the gods and Asura succeeded in bringing Suma to the Milk Sea (because the sea has been stirred into a Milk Sea), but near the end. Shesha, the serpent responsible for tying up the highest mountain in the universe, Xumi Mountain, to stir the sea, could not stand the severe pain, spewing out a huge amount of venom from its mouth, which splashed onto the ground and converged into rivers, flowing into the sea, poisoning the three sentient beings. When there was nothing they could do, the gods decided to ask Shiva for help. Shiva could not bear to let sentient beings suffer, so she had no choice but to swallow the poisonous juice into the import, and the poisonous juice flowed through Shiva's throat, burning Shiva's neck to a black color. Shiva is also called "Nilakanda" by the Indians, which means blue neck.![]()
One of the most important and famous of all Hindu icons is the great Siva Nattaroya, the king of dance or the king of dancers, which is closely associated with the bronze statue of Jura. A large number of such works were created in the Julo era, and the manufacture in South India continued in the 12th century.In Hindu statues, Shiva is usually dressed as a yoga ascetic, covered in ash, wrapped in a bun, wearing a crescent, a long snake around his neck, a skeleton wreath on his chest, a tiger skin around his waist and four arms holding a Trident, an axe, a tambourine, a stick or a doe. He had a third eye on his forehead and could spray divine fire and burn everything to ashes. It is said that Gama, the god of love, disturbed Shiva when he was practicing asceticism. The god fire in Shiva's third eye burned the god of love to the bone, but the god of love did not die, but he just lost his body, so love is invisible.Shiva is shown as dancing the cosmic dance of creating and destroying the world. His hair drifted wildly as he danced, and flew with the rhythm of the hourglass drum held by his upper right hand. This rhythm is the sound of the heartbeat of the universe (Moyer), generated through the good deeds of the dance of creation. The universe itself is represented as a halo around this god, which comes from the breeding mouth of Mocaro on the base of the statue. Complementary to this moment of creation is the simultaneous destruction of the universe, symbolized by the flames that edge the aura and the single flame held in the left hand of this God. This single flame turns everything into nothingness: it is in balance with the drum of creation in God's right hand. The right hand below expresses that he wants to comfort his followers and is ready to be blessed with a reassuring fearlessness. It is further confirmed that the blessing is the left-handed elephant gesture (gaja hasta) below. The "flag" gesture consists of hanging fingers simulating an elephant trunk, pointing to the left foot that really bounces off the back of an ignorant dwarf. This symbolic gesture gives believers hope of relief from Moyer's suffering, while his right foot steps on the dwarf's back with the full strength of the dance. The dwarf holds a poisonous cobra, and the same venomous snake is worn like an ornament on Siva's blessed right arm. In many other meaningful details, a skeleton can be seen on the crown of the god's tangled bun. There is also a crescent moon, symbolizing that Shiva haunts the universe in stages and remains there even when she is hidden. In his bun interspersed with the ashes of the dead, Siva took over the Ganges, a statue of the Ganges goddess standing on the right side of the hair. She is a mixed mermaid with a female upper body and a Mocaro lower body. This symbolism is endless, and for Shiva believers, this icon is a visual revelation that illustrates the infinite compassion and cosmic power of the dancing god of creation and destruction.
