Shiva in the City of Nectar

Throbbing with non-stop excitement Shiva in the City of Nectar sweeps across Heaven Earth and the Underworld narrating the exploits of the mysterious and powerful blue-throated god. One after another the tales unfold the follies of ancient devas asuras sages men and mythical beasts. And through them all Shiva blithely takes on the guise of beggar saint monarch merchant fisherman hunter warrior and woodcutter; walking through the three worlds to slay rampaging demons perform his Dance of Bliss and embrace good and bad alike. Shiva is portrayed in all his multi-faceted mystique the tender lover who woos and weds Goddess Meenakshi; the eternal Guru who dispenses wisdom; the fierce avenger whose third eye flashes fire; the generous benefactor who showers blessings on his devotees; and above all the gentle prankster who embodies the essence of Vedic faith.
