Shiva is one of the Trimurti - Sanskrit for three forms - the triad of Brahma (creator), Vishnu (sustainer or preserver), and Shiva (destroyer in order to construct or re-create again towards betterment). Shiva holds the power to destroy the imperfections and illusions of the universe and within our own minds, to make space for constructive compassionate change that benefits the world at large. Shiva is depicted in Yoga as a deep meditator or as the masterful lord of dance - metaphor to bring balance in the world.
