Lord Shiva is considered a formless, unchanging, limitless, transcendent Brahman and the primal Atman (soul) of the universe.
The two facets of Lord Shiva are benevolent and fearsome. In the former, he is an omniscient yogi, a family man with a consort and two children, while in the latter, he slays demons and destroys evil. He is in total command of the cosmos and plays multiple roles as a creator, destroyer, and preserver. He protects his devotees from evil and blesses them with grace, knowledge, and peace.
He takes many forms to please his devotees when they face difficulties and suffering.
