The scholarly yet multidimensional and original research work, "Shiva Beyond Borders: The Cross-Cultural Evolution of Proto-Shaivism - A Comparative Study of Philosophy, Symbolism, and Global Traditions" written by Dr. Nawa Raj Subba, is truly a text that elucidates the philosophical, cultural, and symbolic significance of Proto-Shaiva traditions in ancient civilisations beyond lines of Indian subcontinent context.

This book places Shiva back on the global map to investigate the correlations in symbolism, rituals, and philosophy all over the world of ancient Africa, Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Middle East, and the Indus Valley, among other early civilisations.
