Lord Shiva’s face carved out of natural Gomed (Hessonite) gemstone.
Siva means, graciousness; auspiciousness; Mangalam. He is all graciousness, ever auspicious, Sarva Mangalam. That is the reason why the epithet, Sri,which indicates these qualities,is not added to the name Siva, Sankara, lsvara etc. It is added to the number of Avatars, for they have taken on perishable bodies for a specific purpose. They have to be distinguished from other humans, by the epithet,Siva is eternally gracious, auspicious, mangala and so the epithet is superfluous.Siva is adored as the teacher of teachers, Dakshinamurti.The form of Siva is itself a great lesson in tolerance and forbearance.
