One of the three great gods of Hinduism, Siva is a living god. The most sacred and most ancient book of India, "The Rig Veda", evokes his presence in its hymns. This title details the metaphysics, ontology, and myths of Siva from the Vedas and the Puranas. It aims to reveal the paradoxes in Siva's nature and in the nature of consciousness.
