Shivam Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Also, their names would be helpful as well. Hare Krsna Om Namah Sivaya Quote
Jahnava Nitai Das Posted April 30, 2006 Report Posted April 30, 2006 Shiva generally has expansions, not incarnations. Incarnations are performed by Vishnu for reestablishing dharma. Vishnu descends from the spiritual realm, reestablishes religion, and returns to the spiritual realm. Thus it is an incarnation (avatara - "to descend"). Shiva has thousands of expansions, with different forms and names. Quote
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Correct. Gods do not reincarante; the correct answer is, they descend as avatars. The Shiva Purana, a 12th century text, contains some material on the avatars of Shiva. These avatars are modeled after the popular avatars of Vishnu. Since I do not have access to this text, I cannot list the names. Cheers Quote

Shivam Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Posted May 6, 2006 ^^ Who is the Shiva Gita's author? I'd like to read from it as well. Quote
vrajavasi Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Radhe Krishna, Well said, jndasji. The appearance of vishnu is explained in scriptures as incarnation and that of shiva is explained as manifestation. Today is ekadashi. May krishna bless us all with pure krishna bhakthi. Radhe Krishna Quote
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 It is said that there are 11 Rudras, Bhakt Hanuman being the last. Quote
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Posted May 9, 2006 ^^ Who is the Shiva Gita's author? I'd like to read from it as well. The Shiva Gita is from the Padma purana. This is all I know so far. Quote
pranay2 Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 Reincarnation is due residual karma.Incarnation is the appropriate words .His incarnations cannot be counted. He is in the form of Eleven Main Rudras. Rudras are Millions and Billions in Number.Then Lord Hanuman is one.Lord Shankaracharya in another. The Syambhu Lingas are his Archa Incarnations. Lord Durvasa is also one of his incarnations.Lord Dattatreya is the incarnation of all the three Trinity. Lord Krishnas Murali is also his another incarnation.His power descends in Form of Guru.He is his main Incarnations. Quote

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Posted July 14, 2006 Some believe that Hanuman and Adi Shankara were incarnations of Lord Shiva, but this is debatable and is a view not shared by all. Quote
