Story like that is simbolism of mind.
Not only in India, its also for Abrahamic religion
but sadly , that kind of theory become a one "reason" to hate each others!
Namaste Shian
I agree. Yet, in the story (myth) Matam Rudra saying "I am Ishwara, Shiva, Mahadeva", might not be present in the original text? You may enlighten us.
It is easy to see the effect of Matam Rudra, which is ego. But it is not easy and probably not correct to associate matam Rudra with Ishwara-Shiva. (Shiva by meaning is auspicious and Siva also means the Red-the Rajas, which is the agony of existence -- no doubt). There is need to distinguish between the all pervading Auspicious being called Existence-Intelligence-Bliss and the Rajasic effect of that all pervading Auspicious .
For us, Ishwara, Shiva, Mahadeva is not different from Atman, which is unborn consciousness and which is the source and refuge of the consciousness and Mind --same as Buddha and Pragnya.
Like you, I see only the same. But i try to understand when i see some efforts that appear to me to be the product of fragmented minds trying to create differences.
Om Namah Shivaya
That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
