The Sanskrit term Shiva means “The Always Benevolent One” and designates in the shaivist tradition of philosophy God’s hypostasis as the ‘saviour’ or ‘redeemer’, and supreme spiritual guide for all creatures. This is why, essentially speaking, any transcending process and any expression of liberating divine grace is always linked in a way or another to Shiva, no matter the spiritual path we might follow.
