Publisher's Synopsis
This book explores Lord Shiva's association with time (Kala), destruction, and the cyclical nature of the universe, delving into how these concepts can help readers understand the impermanence of life and embrace change.
In the Shiva Purana and Vedas, Shiva is referred to as the Mahakala-the great time or eternal time. This portrayal of Shiva connects him to the cosmic clock that dictates the creation and dissolution of the universe. As Mahakala, Shiva represents the ultimate reality that underlies the transient nature of existence. He stands at the beginning of time, before the birth of the universe, and will be present at its end, when everything dissolves back into him.
