Siva or Shiva (Sanskrit: Auspicious One)
I AM the quintessential destroyer. my duty is to destroy all the worlds at the end of creation and dissolve them into nothingness. Modern theories of space do suggest the possible ending of the physical universe after some billions of years through the expansion of a gigantic black hole devouring the matter from endless galaxies. Perhaps I would be the black hole performing this task.However this does not mean that I would remain idle till the arrival of that time. Before the worlds really come to an end, I have many things to do to keep the worlds going. my first and foremost task is to destroy many things in order to ensure the Rta or the order of the universe. My destruction is not negative. It is a positive, nourishing and constructive destruction that builds and transforms life and energy for the welfare of the world and the beings that inhabit it. I destroy in order to renew and regenerate. My destruction is the destruction of an artist, or a surgeon or a cook. Through destruction I facilitates the smooth transitions of things and events from one stage to another.I destroy our imperfections in order to ensure our spiritual progress. I destroy our illusions, desires and ignorance. I destroys our evil and negative nature. I destroy our old memories, so that we can move on with the movement of time. I destroy our relationships, attachment, impurities, physical and mental wrong doings, the effects of bad karma, our passions and emotions and many things that stand between us and God as impediments to our progress and inner transformation. And in the end when we have made sufficient progress, when we are ready and prepared, and when we are willing without any inner conflict, I destroy death.
(The Cosmic Dance of Shiva)
Your life is your part in this awesome Cosmic Dance. Your birth begins with your God Consciousness hid from you. If you have not discovered your unlimited potential in this life you will die, and your soul will go to the unseen state awaiting its chance for another birth. This is the gem of knowledge known as Reincarnation.
You are a child of God because you come from God and you can return to God. Shiva and my creation are one, for Shiva is the source of all existence. Lord Shiva is infinite and eternal. I am beyond limitation and yet by my independent free will (svatantrya) I have the power to appear limited. I create the universe for my own play, without beginning or end.
You are like Lord Shiva. He is a God who works in
two ways. He is responsible for both in the
form of death and destruction and in a positive
way he has the sense of shedding old bad
habits. He is self-controlled and celibate. You
are stongly religious like Lord Shiva and you
can obtain yourself to a proper level in your
life. You are able to keep yourslef
undercontroll and by this you are probably very
popular and not hated or disliked by others
because of your bright ways.

(Translation)
A prayer to Shiva, He who takes away,
the embodiment of peace and
auspiciousness, whose ecstatic dance of
universal destruction tears away
the veils of ignorance.Oh fearful one, the Primordial Being,
who wears the moon as an ornament,
free me from the chains of temporal existence.
I bow to you.
