Lord Shiva Names is one of the most revered Hindu God, who is worshiped all across the world among Hindus. In Hindu philosophy there is a trinity concept of Gods that runs this entire Universe, although one may say that Hindus have millions of Gods but apart from these three, all are the extensions of these three and this trinity itself is the extension of supreme power which is called ऊँ (Ohm in Hindi or Sanskrit).

In Hindus ऊँ (Ohm) is very pious word, it is believed to be the representation of intangible force that runs the universe and all these trinity find their origin from ऊँ (Ohm) according to “Brahmvaivrat Puran.”

Coming back to Lord Shiva, he is one of the trinity who is responsible for the destruction, and he ensures that anything that is born, formed or came into existence by the grace of “Brahma” (one of the trinity) shall perish, destroyed, and disappear. Because then only the cycle of life and birth would complete.

Characteristics of Lord Shiva

      He is considered to be one of the simplest God among three and one of the most powerful. He is easily pleased by the penance of devotees in many different manner. He even give boons to demons, ghosts, humans, etc provided they are fully devoted to him.

      If talk about his appearance, he is considered to be one of the simplest because he doesn’t get represented with lofty clothes, jewelry, or any fancy aura by devotees. He is seen with snake warped around his neck, with ash on his body from forehead to tow. He holds a Trishul, the most powerful weapon in the entire universe, even the Vishnu (the caretaker of Universe cannot face). Although both Vishnu and Shiva are devotees of one another, they worship each other and there is not as such difference if one try to draw, it’s just the different representation of the same energy.
