Shiva

” OM NAMAH SHIVAYA”

Lord Shiva, the creator of earth and supreme of all God. Shiva is one of the supreme beings who creates, protects and transforms the universe. Shiva is also called as Bhrahman which can also be said as Parabhrahman. Shiva means nothingness. The word shivoham means the consciousness of one individual, the lord says that he is omnipotent, omnipresent, as he is present in the form of one’s consciousness. In Tamil, he was called by different names other than Sivan. Nataraja (Dancing form of Shiva), Rudra (Enraged form of Shiva), and Dhakshinamoorthy (Yoga form of Shiva). Nataraja is the only form of Shiva worshipped in a human figure format. Elsewhere he is worshipped in Lingam figure.

In Kilimarathukavu temple Shiva who is in the form of “Ardhanarishvaran” is one of the main deity in the east side and sree Parvathi Devi in the west side is also there in the same temple. May be it is very rare that in a temple there are two Lord Shiva deities. Devotees worship the Shiva Lingam for sovereignty and prosperity in life.
