Har Har Mahadev!

Just saying these three words fills us with such energy. Closing our eyes before the Shiv Lingam in the temple, visiting the sacred Jyotirlingams or hearing divine narratives like how Neelkanth held poison in his throat to protect the world — these give us such peace.

Now imagine hearing many more such narratives. How his marriage to Sati came about. Why he later married Parvati. How Tarakasura was vanquished. Why Kubera is worshipped as the lord of wealth. Why Kartikeya was born, and why he made his home in the South.

The Shiv Purana holds all of this and far more. It does not only tell what happened — it gives the reason behind every event.

Few of us are able to read it. Not because we don’t want to. Because it runs to thousands of pages, and it is genuinely hard to read.

I have been blessed to be able to read the Puranas in depth. So I made this series, for those who cannot find the time.

If it brings even a handful more devotees of Shambhu closer to the Shiv Purana, this series will have achieved its purpose.

THE SHIV PURANA ILLUSTRATED

A series of four volumes, retelling the Shiv Purana in plain English, illustrated throughout.

This is Volume I — Sati Khand: the story of Shiva and Sati. Her birth, their union, and the fire at Daksh’s sacrifice that changed everything that came after it.

EIGHT CHAPTERS

The Origin of Kama Deva
Brahma Obtains a Boon
The Birth of Sati
The Divine Union
The Golden Era
The Test of Shri Ram
Daksh’s Sacrifice
The Awakening of Rudra

LOOK INSIDE

It follows every event, not only the famous ones.

The whole of the Sati Khand, in the order the Purana tells it — from the making of Kama Deva to the awakening of Rudra.

It explains why things happened.

Why Shiva agreed to marry at all. Why he did not bow when Daksh walked into the assembly. Why Brahma was sent to roam the earth in human form. Why Narada was cursed never to rest in one place. Why Daksh was given the head of a goat. The events are widely known. The reasons behind them are what the Purana gives — and this book carries them through, chapter by chapter.

For anyone who has wanted to read the Shiv Purana and not found a way in.

It is written in plain English, without footnotes, and you need not have read anything before it.

And don’t worry — it is just easier to read, nothing left out.

No. It begins at the beginning and explains as it goes. Familiar words are left as they are, because you already know them.

Comfortably from about 13. It is written for adult readers, in language a younger reader can follow easily.

No. Each volume is complete in itself. Sati Khand is the first of the four, and if you wish to know the whole of the Shiv Purana, reading all of them is the way — but this one stands on its own.
