How Many Reincarnations does Lord Siva have?

Also, their names would be helpful as well.

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.

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.

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.

It is said that there are 11 Rudras, Bhakt Hanuman being the last.

The Shiva Gita is from the Padma purana. This is all I know so far.

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.

Some believe that Hanuman and Adi Shankara were incarnations of Lord Shiva, but this is debatable and is a view not shared by all.
