I have embarked on a profound journey with Shiva, spanning across numerous lifetimes. In my present existence, my deep connection with the Lord commenced at a tender age of three, during a pilgrimage to Varanasi, the sacred land of Ganga and the eternal abode of Mahadev, along with my parents. From that moment onwards, whenever I contemplated the divine, closing my eyes to envision the formless, attribute less Supreme Being, I found solace in the presence of Shiva.

Hinduism, a religion rich in its diversity, does not adhere to a monotheistic belief system. Instead, it recognizes the trinity of deities: Brahma, the creator; Vishnu, the preserver; and Shiva, the destroyer. As a child, I grappled with the concept, questioning why there was a multitude of religions, each with their own perception of GOD.
