39. Shiva is Known as the Destroyer
Shiva holds the power of destruction, but often, he destroys so that new life can grow. He destroys both the cosmos as well as people’s imperfections so that the world can be reborn and people can become perfect. He also shatters illusions to give people clarity and vision. As such, his acts of destruction are often viewed as ultimately constructive and as something to be embraced.
