SRI SHIVA LILA : The Play of the Divine in the form of Lord Shiva By Vanamali
Sri Shiva Lila: The Play of the Divine in the Form of Lord Shiva by Vanamali is a profound and beautifully narrated journey into the mysteries, compassion, and cosmic power of Mahadeva. With her signature devotional style, Vanamali brings alive the timeless stories, symbolism, and spiritual teachings of Lord Shiva—the supreme ascetic, cosmic dancer, destroyer of ignorance, and embodiment of transcendence.
This book explores Shiva in His many divine roles:
Nataraja, the dancer who destroys and recreates the universe
Mahayogi, absorbed in meditation atop Mount Kailasa
Bholenath, the tender-hearted Lord who responds instantly to devotion
Ardhanarishvara, the perfect union of Shiva and Shakti
Rudra, the fierce protector who annihilates negativity
Vanamali weaves together Puranic stories, yogic philosophy, and spiritual insights, portraying Shiva not merely as a deity but as the eternal principle of consciousness and liberation. The book is a perfect companion for devotees, spiritual seekers, and readers who want to deepen their understanding of Sanatana Dharma.
This elegant hardcover edition is a treasure for any sacred library.
