White as camphor, compassion incarnate, essence of the universe, Garlanded with snakes, ever

Meaning: Lord Shiva himself is the teacher (Guru), Shiva is the God, Shiva is the friend of all
creatures. Shiva himself is Atma (Soul) and Shiva is the Jeeva (living creature) himself. There is
nothing devoid of Shiva. The virtue and benefits achieved as the result of charity, name,
recitation and religious sacrifices offered to Shiva, are infinite. This has unequivocally been said
in all the scriptures, that only tongue (mouth) is pure that has the name of Shiva on its lips. That
mind, only is chaste that is absorbed in contemplation of the different Lilas and stories
associated with Shiva. That ear only is pure that is eager to listen to the story of Shiva. Those
hands only are pure that worship Lord Shiva regularly. Those eyes only are pure who see the
worship of Lord Shiva, That head only is pure that prostrates before Lord Shiva. Those feet only
are pure that walk and move with devotion in the holy places associated to Lord Shiva.

Meaning: He only shall cross this world whose senses are in the service of Lord Shiva. He is the
one who enjoys all the fruits and attains salvation. He is respected amongst all the creatures,
which has even a little devotion towards Shiva in the heart.

Shiva is the experiencer and the highest object of experience. Shiva is the goal of Sadhana.
There is nothing apart from Shiva. There is nothing other than Shiva. Whatever there is, is Shiva.
There is nothing, which is not Shiva. There is no place, which is not Shiva. There is no time, which
is not Shiva. To be aware of this is to be aware of Shiva.
Shiva () is lord of the lords and it is really not easy to write/explain everything about Shiva.
However many have tried to explain him and praised him as per their knowledge but the
explanation is endless and it is un-imaginable from a human being even devas, asuras and
other rishi munis have very little words to explain about the lord almighty.
Shiva means the supreme one, the auspicious one, the pure one and for me the beloved one.
Shiva is named as Pashupati which means the Lord of all living beings either it is humans,
devas, asuras or any creatures. Another name Mahadeva depicts the great God, supreme in
all devas (Gods).
The God staying in a state blissful, enjoying in Its Own Self eternally, without any flaws is the
Supreme Lord Shiva. The Perfection is the completeness - there is nothing external that is
required to make the Self blissful.
Lord Shiva is reckoned among the Tridevas (trimity). Brahma is the creator, Lord Vishnu is the
preserver and Lord Shiva is the destroyer. Shiva is the lord of Shakti also.
Lord Shiva is absolute which does not have any parents which never takes birth which is all
alone without association with any of the creatures or creations enjoying in the Self. God is the
only one who is dependable for anybody / anything to surrender to as it is the only perennial
Being. Hence God is the Lord of all creatures (lives/souls). For this reason the Lord is hailed as
Pashupati (Lord of living beings). Whether it is devas or asuras or humans or other creatures all
are pashus. That being the case how could the Lord be partial to one section of pashus and
withdrawing the Grace for the other? So anybody who worships the Lord sincerely could get
blessed with Its Grace irrespective of the caste, creed, race, power, status and qualities.
It is in fact to be noted that Lord Shiva is worshipped by the devas like viShNu, braHma, indra,
by asuras like bANa, rAvaNa, tripura, sUrapadma, by humans like sha~Nkara bhagavatpAda,
samban^dhar, appar, by other creatures like jaTAyu, sampAdi (eagles), vAli (monkey) and the
list goes on and on. One finds in the purANas the variety of people of different backgrounds
and qualities worship the Lord Shiva. There are many histories of temples which talk of the
cranes, bees, elephants, spiders, snakes worshipping the Lord and getting blessed. So the Lord
as the Supreme blesses anyone who worships in sincere devotion. There is no discrimination on
who the seeker is. The Lord is so merciful that He showers the boons one look for when there is
a determination to seek Him. It is evident from the history of asura bANa who attained a great
fame of his valor and got the place in the abode of Lord Shiva all due to his determined
worship of the Lord.
Lord Shiva is the God of all. Like the mother He showers the grace for all the children, but the
misusing children get punished. This Supreme Lord better than a mother does not withhold the
grace, He is our beloved Pashupati.
The God would not be biased. It would not differentiate between one group versus the other,
whether it be divines or daemons or humans or plats or creatures or on sex or on race etc. All
that matters is dharma and the pure devotion towards it. No doubt this lovely Lord Shiva is
worshipped alike by divines, daemons, scholars, not much learnt simple, and the other
creatures.
