About author(s): James H.
The stories of this complex god, such as how he swallowed a pool of poison that threatened to destroy the world, make for an engaging and mystifying read! Shiva features generous illustration by both traditional and contemporary Indian artists.
At the same time we hear of his compassionate and merciful nature.
He is depicted in the Puranas as wild, recklessly austere and even ferociously destructive.
He is also a god of paradox, appearing to live out two extremely contradictory lives.
