The Beginning of Shiva And The Meaning of Shiva - by Kapil Semwal. India. (The Story will have seldom updates)

Shiva - The Auspicious & Pure. 

Lord Shiva is known as God of Gods, Lord of Lords. The one who came from a Divine Light in the form of Ardhnareshwar (Half Shiva, Half Shakti - Parvati). There is a misconception about Shiv ji, that, HE is a God for Destruction. But, this ain’t a complete true. Lord Shiva is the one who is the beginning of everything & everything ends to HIM. Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma came after Lord Shiva or call it, from Lord Shiva. So, if Lord Shiva is the creator or the beginning of the universe & all kind, then how can HE be a destroyer???

“Shiv” is a Sanskrit word, which interprets Auspicious & Pure.

Aum/Om/ॐ

As per the Ancient/Mythological stories, Lord Shiva emerged from an immense light/flame which has no start/end point and from Shiva came Lord Vishnu and then Lord Brahma from Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma had a clash to claim oneself bigger than each others and decided to go to Shiva and bring the same in front of Him. Lord Shiva said, the one who find the end of this flame (the flame where from Lord Shiva had emerged) will be worshiped as a big. So one went up and another down to the flame to find the ends. The Immortal flame was infinite and there wasn’t any end of it as there was no beginning though. Both of the Lords returned back and of course with the failure. But, Lord Brahma claimed that he reached the end of the flame, which was a definite lie. As Shiva was God of Gods, He knew all this going to happen and what's next… So as a destined truth, Lord Shiva cursed Lord Vishnu for His this deed. There is nothing Unfortunate because everything that happens is already designed to happen, so it is all destined, not an Unfortunate. If you must know, people will rarely find Temples of Lord Brahma
