Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, the patron god of yoga, meditation and the arts. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. In his benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with his wife Parvati and two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. There are many different depictions of Shiva. Shiva is the primal Atman (Self) of the universe.
He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Parvati ( Sati) the equal complementary partner of Shiva. In the Shakta tradition, the Goddess, or Devi, is described as one of the supreme, yet Shiva is revered along with Vishnu and Brahma. In the Shaivite tradition, Shiva is the Supreme Lord who creates, protects and transforms the universe. Shiva is known as "The Destroyer" within the Trimurti, the triple deity of supreme divinity that also includes Brahma and Vishnu. Shiva has pre-Vedic roots, and the figure of Shiva as we know him today is an amalgamation of various older non-Vedic and Vedic deities, including the Rigvedic storm god Rudra who may also have non-Vedic origins, into a single major deity.
He is the Supreme Being in Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism.
He is also called Mahākāla as all three times-past, present and future-lie within him and are from him. Shiva is said to be the controller of time itself and has the responsibility of carrying out the process of destruction at the end of creation.
