helps whenever there is evil in this world. He has three eyes, one in
the forehead. It is believed that he open his third eye, when he
becomes very angry. Third born of the Hindu holy trinity, he bestows
pure auspiciousness or freedom from the 3 gunas or qualities of nature
(represented by the trident). The snake represents the inner lower
forces that Siva has control over. Siva is the destroyer, getting rid
of all that is no longer useful in order to make way for the new. Shiva
presides over the destructive energies which break up the universe at
the end of each age. |
