The Enigmatic Power of Shiva’s Symbolism
The image of the All-Benevolent Lord Shiva appears so attractive to certain individuals and groups because it embodies powerful, almost incomprehensible forces that unite the contradictory aspects of creation and destruction, as well as a mysterious inaccessibility that lends his image an aura of mystical power. It is precisely this duality and ambiguity that transforms the figure of Shiva into an ideal symbol, one that can be adapted to justify personal views, reinforce authority, or support ritual practices.
