Shiva is one of the most famous gods of India. Together with Brahma and Vishnu, he is part of the Hindu Trinity - Trimurta. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are considered three manifestations of the One Supreme Being. They recognize "three in one", corresponding to the three hypostases of the Western Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Brahma personifies the creator aspect of God, Vishnu the preserver and protector, and Shiva the destroyer and annihilator.
Shiva embodies all these aspects for Hindus, who choose him as their supreme deity. Adherents of Shiva worship him as the highest Reality, the absolute Godhead. They see in him the Guru of all gurus, the destroyer of worldly bustle, ignorance, evil and villains, hatred and diseases. He bestows wisdom and longevity, embodies self-denial and compassion.
The name Shiva comes from a Sanskrit word meaning "good", "kind" or "friendly". The many aspects of Shiva are represented in many ego names. Thus, the Hindu sacred text called "Shiva Purana" lists 1008 names of Shiva. One of them is Shambhu, which means "generous" or "bringing happiness." The second name - Shankara means "joy-giving" or "beneficent". As Mahadeva, he is the "great god". Ishvara (Lord) is a name of Shiva, meaning that He possesses all the glory inherent in the Divine.
Pashupati is another name meaning "lord of cattle." As Lord of cattle, Shiva is the herdsman, or shepherd, of souls. Shiva is depicted riding a white bull, whose name is Nanda, "joyful". According to Hindu tradition, Nanda was a man, one of the devotees of Shiva, who took the form of a bull, since the human body was not strong enough to contain him religious ecstasy arising in the presence of Shiva.
Nanda's bull is depicted in most temples of Shiva. Usually he sits facing Shiva. Nanda symbolizes the soul of a person striving for God. It also represents the soul immersed in deep contemplation of Shiva as the absolute Reality. Shiva helps us reveal our absolute Reality.
