The name ''Shiva'' is derived from a Sanskrit word meaning “auspicious,” “kind” or “friendly.” The many aspects and functions of Shiva are represented in the various names given to him.

A escritura hindu Shiva-Purana atribui-lhe mil e oito nomes. Um deles é “Shambhu”, que significa “benevolente” ou “que causa felicidade”. Outro nome é “Shankara”, o “concessor de alegria” ou “concessor do bem”. Como “Mahadeva”, ele é o “grande deus”.


Pashupati is another epithet, which means “lord of cattle.” As Lord of Cattle, Shiva is the herdsman or shepherd of souls. Shiva is portrayed riding a white bull named (“joyful”). According to Hindu tradition, he was one of Shiva’s devotees who assumed the form of a bull because the human body was not strong enough to contain his devotional ecstasy for Shiva. Nandi the bull is depicted in most Shiva temples. He is usually seated, facing the figure of Shiva. Nandi symbolizes the soul of man longing for God. He also represents the soul who is in deep contemplation of Shiva as the supreme Reality. Shiva will help you to unlock your supreme Reality.
