The many faces of Shiva – and the return of the Somnath Shivalinga

The Vedas and Puranas have always catered to people from all sections of society, accommodating diverse intellectual and spiritual viewpoints. They address the depths of human consciousness while providing practical guidance for everyday life.

When it comes to Lord Shiva, there is a Vedantic view and a Puranic depiction. Shaivism does not perceive Shiva as a person but rather as a fundamental reality, or tattva. It classifies existence into 36 principles (tattvas), Earth being the first and Shiva as the 36th and ultimate principle.

Shiva is often seen as Chaitanya — pure consciousness — because, as a direct experience, Shiva is the formless, all-pervading awareness that underlies existence itself. He is Chidakasa — the infinite space of consciousness. He embodies both saguna (with attributes) and nirguna (beyond all attributes), transcending form and formlessness.

According to a well-known Puranic story, Shiva appeared as an infinite pillar of light. Neither his head nor his feet could be seen, symbolising that he has no beginning or end. Brahma ascended in search of Shiva’s head while Vishnu descended to seek his feet, yet both remained beyond reach.

There are also stories that depict Shiva’s anger, such as his confrontation with Daksha or the opening of his third eye to destroy Kamadeva. These are symbolic narratives conveying deeper truths about existence. No intelligent seeker should take these stories as literal occurrences; instead, they must look beyond the surface to grasp timeless wisdom about the nature of life and consciousness.

A sharp, focused mind is needed to decode these spiritual allegories. Shiva was not a historical figure who lived 15,000 years ago, sitting on a rock and weeping in ecstasy. Shiva is the cosmic principle, the divine energy that exists within every living being. Every emotion is an expression of his divine nature. They are not separate from him but manifestations of the infinite consciousness, reflecting the dynamic play of existence. Shakti is the dynamic energy that is inseparable from Shiva.
