DESCRIPTION
Shiva keeps a third eye closed. When it opens, whatever it looks at ends. Not out of anger. Out of necessity, because some things have to finish before anything new can begin.
That is the idea at the centre of the Shaiva tradition, and it is far gentler than it sounds. Shiva destroys ego, attachment, and the things a person is holding on to long after they have stopped serving them. He is the reason Sawan is observed, the reason Mahashivratri is stayed awake for, and the reason millions of people find calm in the sound of a single syllable.
The Shiv Chalisa is forty verses to that force. It is read on Mondays, through the month of Sawan, and on Mahashivratri, when temples across India stay open all night.
This Folktales Inc edition is printed in both languages. Hindi with the Hindi meaning in the first half, English with the English meaning in the second. Printed on quality paper, bound as a gifting edition, and made to sit in a home mandir for years.
