'''Shiva''' is one of the most popular deities in India. Along with [[Special:MyLanguage/Brahma|Brahma]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Vishnu|Vishnu]], he is part of the Hindu triad, the trimurti. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are understood to be three manifestations of the One Supreme Being. They are the “three in one,” corresponding to the Western Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Brahma personifies the creator aspect of God, Vishnu the preserver and protector and Shiva the destroyer or dissolver. Shiva embodies all these aspects to Hindus who select him as their chosen deity. | '''Shiva''' is one of the most popular deities in India.
