The Book of Shiva

---

Shiva, Destroyer and Protector, Supreme Ascetic and Lord of the Universe, is Ardhanarishwara—half man and half woman. He is Neelakantha, who drank poison to save the three worlds, and yet, crazed with grief at the death of Sati, set about destroying them. Within him lie the answers to some of humanity’s deepest dilemmas.
Namita Gokhale explores the many stories about Shiva, examining questions such as why he roams the world as a naked ascetic covered with ash, the meaning of the tandava, the symbolism of the linga, and the worldview expressed through his worship. As she unravels the complexities surrounding Shiva, she reveals a philosophy that is both terrifying and life-affirming—an outlook regarded by many as central to Indian thought.
