Śiva & Śaivism

God Śiva is all and in all, one without a second, the Supreme Being and only Absolute Reality. He is Pati, our Lord, immanent and transcendent. To create, preserve, destroy, conceal and reveal are His 5 powers.

God Śiva is a one being, yet we understand Him in 3 perfections: as Absolute Reality, Pure Consciousness and Primal Soul.

Paraśiva is God Śiva’s Unmanifest Reality or Absolute Being, distinguished from His other 2 perfections, which are manifest and of the nature of form.

Paraśiva is the fullness of everything, the absence of nothing.
