SIVA/SHIVA (Auspicious)
MAHADEV (Great Deva/Angel)
YOGIRAJ (King of Yoga)



~Within the oldest of the major religions, Sanatana Dharma/Hinduism, we find the
age-old worship to the personal aspects of Spiritual-Reality in the form of the
present day Siva. The word "Siva" means auspicious, an apt name for the
"awesomeness" of Spiritual-Reality. Archaeologists have unearthed ancient images
of Siva (known as Prajapati "The Herdsman" or the "Lord of all
creatures/creation") sitting in meditation in the classic Hatha Yoga asana
Padmasana or Lotus posture.

He is fire and the sun, and the moon
And the stars. He is the air and the sea,
And the Creator, Prajapati.
He is this boy, he is that girl, he is
This man, he is that woman, and he is
This old man, too, totering on his staff.
His face is everywhere.
(Shvetashvatara Unanishad iv 2,3)
