Shiva Nitya Parayana stotrangal

Shiva is a primary Hindu deity, one of the holy trinities in Hinduism. He holds a huge significance in the religious, spiritual and cultural fabric of India and across the world. Often referred to as the "Destroyer," Shiva symbolises the ultimate aspect in the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction, essential for the balance in the universe. His image as Nataraja, the cosmic dancer, summarises the eternal rhythm and essence of life.

Shiva embodies the purusha while shakti symbolises prakriti in the cycle of human life. He also represents penance and detachment, encouraging spiritual seekers to transcend material desires. His third eye shows his wrath when opened and wisdom when it remains closed. The sacred symbol "Om Namah Shivaya" has a cosmic resonance in prayers, inducing inner peace and devotion.
