In the Shaivism tradition, Shiva is the supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. The highest form of Shiva is a formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman and the primal soul of the universe. There are many benevolent and malevolent depictions of Shiva.
