Aadipita Sadashiva | Role of Lord Shiva in Society | # Dance based on Vajra Kathor #

Human culture and civilization would not exist as we know them – perhaps would hardly exist at all – had it not been for Shiva. Shiva played a crucial role in propelling human society on a forward path in education, medicine, social code, music, dance, phonetics and, of course, intuitional science. And yet Shivaʼs stature is such that “Shiva can stand very well, shining in His own glory, quite apart from human culture and civilization.”

Shiva the great spiritualist, Shiva the humanitarian, Shiva the pioneer of arts and science felt great compassion for those afflicted people and, making them sit beside Him, advised them how to solve their physical, psychic and spiritual problems. Shiva used to live on a hill, and all kinds of people from far and near would flock to Him. He would call them with… His viśáńa, His long horn…

Regarding Shiva, we should say that from the very beginning, He was an omnipresent entity. Whenever, in the undeveloped and simple human society of those days, any need arose, Shiva was there to help; whenever any knotty problem developed, Shiva was there to solve it like a Father. That's why we call Him ADIPITA.
