7 Secrets of Shiva (Paperback) Price: Rs.151
Shiva, 'the destroyer' among the Hindu trinity (of gods), is depicted in many contradictory manners. He is an ascetic who wears animal skin, his body smeared with ashes. Contradictory to his wild nature, he is also depicted as having a family, with a beautiful wife and two children.
There are many more such varied representations of Shiva, the most prominent of these being the Linga and the Nataraja. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik, introduces the readers to these varied aspects and representations, and then sets about interpreting them.
He explains the different anomalies and conflicts in beliefs, things that might puzzle people who are not familiar with Hindu culture and religious symbolism.
The author has taken up seven aspects of Shiva worship from Hinduism, which are nothing but seven different forms of Shiva worship. Shiva is worshipped in many forms, as the Lingeshwara, Kala Bhairava, Sundareshwara, Shankara, and Nataraja, and the author goes into each form and analyzes what it represents.
He also discusses Shiva’s two sons, Ganesha and Karthikeya. He goes into the symbolism behind these forms and provides his interpretation. This book serves as a nice introduction to Shaivite concepts and explains many stories, both known and unknown, the symbolism, and rituals and the reasons behind Hindu worship.

Inspiring a serial!
Read Dr. Pattanaik's few books earlier and this one too is one of his best writings. The new channel Life Ok is airing a serial on Lord Shiva " MAHADEV" and the producers give due credits to Dr Pattanaik's writings for being the inspiration of the serial. I am neither a Shiva sadhika nor an expert in mythology but reading this great book was a soothing experience. Shiva's various aspects as Kaal Bhairav, Sundareshwar, Kashi Vishwanath, Gore Bhairav have been wonderfully ellaborated in different chapters leaving the readers spell bound and surrendered before Mahadev. Shiva's Nivratti marg as compared to Narayan's Pravritti Marg has been justified aptly leaving it to the readers to decide which is the greatest of both.
Amazing book by Devdutt !
An amazing book by Devdutt. After watching videos of devdutt on the net,was curious on his literature.This was my first book and he has impressed me a lot.Am a fan of devdutt.
The simplicity,language,To The Point description,the depth,Meanings inferred and the authenticity of the content is just marvellous.This book takes you pretty deep into spirituality and lot more things that you didnt know but were following, become clear highlighting it's purpose.
Having read 6 books of his(at the moment), i must say he's the one who has made mythology/Spirituality simple to understand.
Hats off to him and his work !!

off beat book for the symbolic shiva
I love this book. For it doesn't talk about Shiva the god. instead it focuses on Shiva the philosophy. the symbol
I particularly loved the section where Devdutt Pattanaik explains the difference between Shiv and Shankar, Sati and Parvati.
I would recommend not reading it as a novel. instead read and think over, the ideas. try and apply it in real life to real situations and people, that's when you will love this book
After reading this book infact I understood that I don't need to do stupid things like fasting for 16 mondays to please Shiva... infact Shiva is within each one of us... and he is nothing but the universe...

Must Read (5 Star)
Devdutt Pattanaik is the same man who is behind the Serial "Devon ke Dev Mahadev", on Life OK Channel. The Book is awesome, 50% of book is pictures and illustrations about Shiva and all things associated with him. It is a must buy and must read about the Life of Shiva...
Do you know why Shiva is called "Bhole Nath"?
Do you know who is Gora Bhairava and Kala Bhairava?
Do you know what a Shiva Linga is and how to do its Parikrama (Its not going in circles around it - that's wrong)?
Get a copy and you would know an answer to all these questions and Shiva's secret !!
Om namah shivaye!
A really must read for everybody who wants to understand Hindu mythology or would like to classify it as erratic and out of world stories of Gods who are absent at the time of need. While i have always understood spirituality and dismissed mythology as interesting stories for kids. I find these should be the best piece of literature. Such abstract concepts are so beautifully laden that they demonstrate abstract concepts, through mundane materialistic things. Book is good but concepts concepts could be better categorized to give clearer picture.
