Lord Shiva is known as the destroyer of evil in Hindu mythology. He is a fearsome warrior and an elegant dancer. He is great. It is rumored that He lives on Mount Kailash, that He was never born; He exits since the birth of universe. His wife is Ma Parvati. Lord Shiva has a unique talent of dance, the Tandav, which can kill and so is called the Natraj. He has a third eye which is always closed but when He is enraged He opens them and whoever is before Him will burn down. Some ladies fast on particular days so that they can have husbands like Shiva. He has a great role in Ramayana too; as Hanuman. All I can say is Shiva is day Shiva is night. Shiva is you, Shiva is me. I bow to Lord Shiva.
