ROLE OF LORD SHIVA IN CREATION OF UNIVERSE

As already stated in earlier posts, the whole universe is shaped by the Lord Brahma and he is honored by the name as “The Creator”. Yet Lord Shiva is considered to be the topmost of all the three gods (Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh) as he acts as a SEED for creating the Universe with the help of Lord Brahma.

However, “Birth of Lord Brahma as well as Universe is solely done by the wish of Lord Shiva”

LING PURAN states also that:-

“The plan / view by means of which Shiva looks towards Nature (birth of universe) is known as Shaivism”

Lord Brahma constructs the Universe by considering Shiva as the Seeds as well as the Soul (Aatma or Spirits). In short, Shiva is the main constituent of all the things present in the Universe, whether it is Living or Non Living.
