Sankshipta Sri Shiva Maha Puranamu (Telugu)

The Shiva Purana is among the eighteen prominent texts in the Purana category of Sanskrit literature within Hinduism, forming part of the Shaivism literary collection. It primarily focuses on the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati, while also acknowledging and honoring all gods. This text delves into Shiva-centric cosmology, mythology, relationships between deities, ethical teachings, yoga, pilgrimage sites (tirtha), devotion (bhakti), rivers, geography, and various other subjects. Providing valuable historical insights into the different forms and theological aspects of early Shaivism in the early 2nd millennium CE, the Shiva Purana includes chapters with a blend of Advaita Vedanta philosophy and theistic elements of devotion (bhakti).
