His hair symbolize unison of mind, the Trishul is a sign for control of mind, his meditative pose symbolizes calmness, his serpent symbolizes letting go of your ego. He is the Mahadeva of the universe, Lord Shiva.
We all know about his divine powers and how he became the destructor of all evil. There has been evidence about the different stories and the existence of Lord Shiva.
But who is the father of Lord Shiva?
Well, the common understanding states that Lord Shiva had no parents. But then how did he take birth?
Believing an article by Speaking tree, when asked about his father Lord Shiva replied that Lord Brahma is his father.
But then who is the grandfather?
When Shiva was further questioned about this, he said that Lord Vishnu is his grandfather.
Who is the great-grandfather?
When Shiva was asked about his great-grandfather, he said that he is his own great-grandfather.
Here’s another interesting story associated with this.
Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu were arguing about who is more powerful.
Out of nowhere, a blazing pillar of light appeared.
The pillar extended towards the end of the world. Stretching from horizon to horizon. Both the Lords couldn't find the start or the end of the pillar, and this perplexed them.
Lord Shiva emerged from the pillar.
This proves that he has no start or end when it comes to his existence or birth. He is everywhere, and he has no singular existence.
Since all these facts are mythological, it is said that they can be a part of poetry or maybe a myth. But, many people also believe that Lord Shiva has been given various names, and he heeds to all his devotees when they call him. This shows that he is everywhere and he has no singular existence.
