About the Book
Shiva is the third deity of the Hindu trinity. Born out of a power struggle between Brahma and Vishnu, he is the lord of destruction and therefore the most fearsome. And yet, he is loved by people for his simplicity, asceticism and extreme readiness to come to the aid of his followers.
The relationship between Shiva and his consort Parvati is symbolic of the perfect fusion of male and female principles. Shiva, the Supreme Consciousness and male principle, can create and destroy the elements only in conjunction with Shakti, the female principle.
This collection of 5 comics brings together some of the most loved and enduring tales of this mighty god and his sons, Karttikeya and Ganesha. This is a wonderful introduction to Shiva for readers, young and old alike!
The comics included are Sati and Shiva, Shiva Parvati, Tales of Shiva, Ganesha - The Remover of All Obstacles, and Karttikeya, A Son of Shiva.
