Wow! This book is so interesting and so fascinating! The pictures are awesome. There is something about pictures from India and their colors; I noticed these great warm colors also when watching ORIGINS OF YOGA, a great yoga-documentary. This book will tell you all about Shiva - God of Destruction, yet in a way that you are just drawn to it as it's so mesmerizing.

I can only highly recommend this book!!!

I am not into religion that much, but I got this book for Christmas and it was very interesting and insightful...The pictures are great (love the colors) and everything about and around Shiva is very fascinating and enlightening...

The book is a short, easy read, and is broken down into simple chapters based on subject. There are many good photos in the book, which is its strongest attribute. Chapters include Shiva's background, four of of His manifestations, Parvati His consort and His two sons, His vehicle Nandi, His symbols and worship, and His yogis and festivals. There are a few basic myths included as well. There is a basic description of the Shiva's rule of the cycles of life, death and rebirth and a few other spiritual concecpts. Ideal for younger readers and those unfamiliar with Shiva.

I haven't read this book yet, i'm interested in finding more about it.
