Answer in Details
Shiv kaun hai ya Shiv kyon hai—ye dono prashn Lord Shiva ke tattva, swaroop aur unke hone ka mool karan samajhne se jude hain.

Shiv ko "Adi-Dev", "Mahadev", "Shunya aur Anant", "Nirakar aur Sakar" ke roop mein jaana jaata hai. Shiv sabhi srishti ke mool karan hain, ve vinaash aur punarjanm ke devta hain, aur unhe "Shiv" isliye kaha gaya kyunki ve "kalyankari" hain—jo sabka mangal karte hain.

Shiv kyon hain?
Lord Shiva ke hone ka mool karan yeh hai ki ve srishti ke sam-bhaav, santulan aur punar-srishti ka prateek hain. Ved, Puran aur Shiv-agam ke anusar, bina vinaash ke naya srijan sambhav nahi hai, aur Shiv vinaash ke madhyam se naye jeevan ka marg pradarshit karte hain. Unka "kalyankari" swaroop yahi hai ki ve sab kuch swayam mein samaate hain aur sabka kalyan karte hain.

Shiv kaun hain?
Ve Tridev me se ek hain—Brahma (srishti), Vishnu (palan), Shiva (vinaash). Unka swaroop adbhut hai: ve vairaagi hain, lekin grihasth bhi; ve aghor hain, lekin sabse prem bhi karte hain.

Ant mein, Lord Shiva ek tattva hain, jo "Shiv tattva" ke roop mein sab jagah vyapt hain—jismein shanty, shakti aur anantta samaayi hui hai.

Yeh sabhi uttar sirf Lord Shiva ke darshan, unki shiksha aur unke tattva par adharit hain.
