The Shiv Puran

The Shiv Puran of course praises the glory and greatness of Shiva, describes the ritual and philosophical principles of Shiva worship, embodies descriptions, sermons and dissertations on the greatness of his divinity, recounts his emblems, attributes, exploits and incarnations, narrates legends and dwells upon the merit of installing and consecrating the linga.

The Shiv Puran is today a matter of interest for many physicist-philosophers, since many of the stories bear an uncanny resemblance to the descriptions given by modern cosmology regarding the creation and birth of the universe.

The text of the Shiv Puran as it exists today is arranged into seven Samhitas: Vidyavara, Rudra, Satarudra, Kotirudra, Uma, Kailasa and Vayaviya. The Rudrasamhhita itself is divided into five sections: Creation, the story of Sati, the story of Parvati, the birth and adventures of Kumara and Shiva’s battles.
