The Shiv Puran is the purana dedicated to Lord Shiva, one of the most important divinities in the Hindu way of life. Several editions of the Shiv Puran are available in the public domain in the PDF format for download in English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Telugu and Kannada. Keep reading for an explanation of the role the Puranas play, and a brief history of the Puranas. A Purana is a particular aspect of Hindu scriptural literature, which covers several topics such as history political and otherwise philosophy, sociological aspects and several other subjects. Essentially, it can be seen as a great bank of knowledge about esoteric subjects, as well as a historical document with several distortions sometimes of Indias past. The Puranas are of two kinds the Mahapuranas and the Upapuranas. Each class consists of eighteen puranas, bringing the total number of puranas to thirty six. The Mahapuranas or Great Puranas are the more important ones, while the Upapuranas or sub puranas are the minor ones are often neglected in study. 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 as we have it today is said to be only a fragment of what originally existed. This is a common theme in all Indian mythology, an alludes to the impossibility of encompassing knowledge of all creation within a book, or any number of books for that matter. 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. Fritjof Capra for instance, narrates in his book The Tao of Physics, how similar in structure the statue of Nataraja Shiva as the Lord of Dance is to the traces left behind by subatomic particles in a Bubble Chamber. Several stories in the purana deal with how Shiva creates the universe. In one such for example, it is said that there is one Shiva and Parvati pair looking after one universe, and there are many such pairs in creation. This is quite similar to the many worlds hypothesis being put forward by some quantum physicists today. 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 Shivas battles. The Vayaviya has two parts, the Purvabhaga and Uttarabhaga. It is called Vayaviya, because although it is Suta who narrates it in the Naimisha forest, it was originally narrated by Vayu.

The five additional ones were Vainayaka, Matr, Rudraikadasa, Sahasrakoti and Dharma. All twelve Samhitas together comprised one hundred thousand Slokas. Splendor Game. The five Samhias have been dropped however over the course of time and the Shiva Purana we have with us today consists of twenty four thousand slokas, said to have been abridged by Sage Vyasa. Most Puranic scholars agree upon the authenticity of the seventeen Mahapuranas other than the Shiv Puran. Generally the eighteenth is listed as the Shiva Purana, though a few list the Vayu Purana in its place. JL Shastri conjectures the following We know that Sivapurana is divided into seven Samhitas, one of which is the Vayaviya. We have the testimony of Sivapurana itself that the original Sivapurana consisting of one hundred thousand slokas was abridged into twentyfour thousand slokas. On the strength of this evidence it cannot be unreasonable to suppose that there was a proto Sivapurana and a proto Vayaviya. It is not unlikely that there was a close affinity between the extant Vayupurana and the proto Vayaviya or that the extant Vayupurana is a recension of the proto Vayaviya and thus a part of Sivapurana itself. Solution lies in assuming identicality of the two on the basis of this suggestion, not in accepting the one and rejecting the other.
