Definition of Shiva is directly given in chapter 4 of Shiv Rahasya while Lord Shiva explaining himself.
I am Shiva, the Stillness (Shi) Whereof all Movement (Va) is born. As Water, Fire and the Sun at once move and are still, so I, the Great Life both Move and Stand Still. Verse 8.

Have just attempted to explain the meaning of Shiva.
Yes, Shiva Sankalpa Sukta is also a Khila Sukta of RigVeda. In the archive site we can find it in the book Rig-Veda Sayana Commentary Part 4 in the Khilani section where Khila Suktas of RigVeda are given. Shiva Sankalpa Sukta is as:
येनेदं भूतं भुवनं भविष्यत् परिगृहिततममृतेन सर्वम् ।
येन यज...
@Aghori it is the same hymn which you see while opening Tantraloka and written in Red 'Tanme Manaha: ShivaSankalpaMastu..'
There is some problem in Madanadahana story . Why would Shiva will burn him and make Parvati childless . Again he is worshipped in Shri Vidya as Kameshwara . Kameshwara won't go against Kama . These two must be two totally different deities . One pathetically raged ascetic who want to stop birth of New Race and other is exactly opposite of him .
Key to understanding of myths and knowledge in Vedas and Puraanas is Secret Doctrine of H P Blavatsky and books of aurobindo
@RakeshJoshi You understood it wrong. Kama was present at that time in formless form (without Angas). And Parvati was cursed she won't carry any baby in womb. But you can see Shiva's seed (kartikeya). Purusha (seed of Shiva) travelled all along Prakriti (which is nothing but Parvati) and it turned baby with 6 faces (ShanMukha). Same is the case with Vinaayaka. Union of Shiva Shakti happened when Shiva passed his male energy through Trisula, when beheading Vinayaka.
I heard a story about Kamadeva, here it is:
While Lord Shiva was doing deep meditation, Kamadeva disturbs him by inducing love and desire into Shiva, which caused disturbance to Shiva and made Shiva angry. Because of which Shiva opened his third eye and burned Kamadeva and turned him into ashes....
@RakeshJoshi There's a section called Vaishnava Khanda of Skanda Purana. It also includes Venkatachala Mahatyam and may other portions. if you doubt puranas, you are free to not believe them.
@RakeshJoshi Why do you even consider his words? That Guy's views are very orthodox. He doesn't consider anything outside his Acharya's words as Hinduism.
@RakeshJoshi It's not for rep. At that time, they were saying Kriya Yoga is recent Yoga and Vishnavism doesn't accept Yoga. So, i refuted them posting Q&A.
Kashmiri Shaivism proves the existence of separate ātmā. One such argument is (short) - Person's mutually unrelated flickers of momentary metal consciousness must have a common and a permanent base without which all activities based on their supposed mutual relationship can't become possible, since all objects are self centered & separate from one another. This permanently existing entity is the Ātma, who, while lying beyond the scope of all ideas of sequence, bears & notices the particulars of all momentary minds in himself. — Aghori3 hours ago
@Aghori Also, this assumes a discontinuity implies lack of a substrate, one can also say that it is blankness of substrate, substrate regardless of state being a bodily function!
@Aghori the awareness is a basic module that is there, it is the focus of awareness that is stimulus based and that is loosely said to be new awareness..
@Aghori Yeah, it is sometimes difficult to convince this concept - most of my friends all well educated believe that Body generates consciousness or awareness. it is really sad because this is hard to explain so far and convince them that it is not as they think so.
so in order to have a ready reference only i posted the question
exactly, And when i point out that conciousness then becomes a temporary phenomenon the conversation becomes about stuff like, "How best to live this one life" and "We are all going to die anyway" type of deals :\
Something experienced by X can never be recollected by Y.
X & Y must either be same or having same substrata. As we can see they are not same, implies X & Y have same substrata. & That substrata is the soul. :)
Honestly, I'm not sure. Somehow it gives comfort to them "knowing" this, different people get different comfort - some feed it into a scientific brand of atheism and justify valuing their rationality as supreme, others get comfort because this justifies materialism, etc,. i can keep going.
@Aghori The argument here is that it is effect of different body or difference in neuron connexions and patterns.
Yes @LakshmiNarayanan effects of previous connections of neurons is acceptable but it implies Y is result of X's behavior now. But recollection is still absent. Y's personality is the result of X's personality but Y shouldn't remember anything about X.
How are you dear @RakeshJoshi Sir.
How is your health?
@LakshmiNarayanan I have yet to complete IPK, once I'm done I will provide more dominant arguments.
@LakshmiNarayanan I am reading Shiv Rahasya. Thinking to complete some scriptures before July as won't be able to study regularly once I'm into academics again.
@Tezz I just posted XYZ.. This is someone else's style .. so why are u copying it? U should try something that is original :D BTW i just now saw ur answer.
@Aghori Yeah me too hate bolywood.. i think i am one of its biggest haters.
@Rickross yesterday while watching one debate i came to kno that number of mosques in ayodhya, kashi and mathura is almost 3-4 times that of the temples !!!
@RakeshJoshi - Yeah , but the Cows milk is best , and also she should be a free romer not a dairy cow , eating lots of natural grass and herbs etc , i prefer desi Cows milk over ,jarsi once 🐮🐄
You may be interested in how Shiva got his name. This is discussed in the Shatapatha Brahmana of the Yajur Veda, in the story of the birth of Shiva:
[Brahma] said to him, 'My boy, why criest thou, when thou art born out of labour and trouble?' He said, 'Nay, but I am not freed from (guarded ...
@TheDestroyer If it is not-an-answer then why it cant be deleted? I remember the same Mod manipulated a Q so as to make my answer to it look irrelevant so that he can delete it.

ChinmaySarupria Well, personally I don't think there is a Shiva who is eternal. I think that only Vishnu and the other inhabitants of Vishnu's abode of Paramapadam are eternal. I think Shiva is a Jiva, just like Brahma is. But we'll have to agree to disagree on that. – Keshav Srinivasan
@SwiftPushkar that is good ... actually for hot climate like indiia meat is not easy to digest daily ... in might be good in cold places like russsia and europe
@RakeshJoshi - hmm , we need to see what's diat expert's say. Max farmers , worker's need that for energy they need as their work requires high protein diet.
@RakeshJoshi - hmm , people generally prefer local Ayurveda doctors & local brands depending upon region for Ayurveda products , but patanjali is also Making quite interesting products, people now are inclined towards them also
