The age of God Shiva

The age of Lord Shiva----------------------------------------------The age of Lord Shiva It says thousand Chathuryuga (4 yuga) is the one day of Lord Brahma. During the age of brahma at about 14 Indras will come and occupy the title of King of heaven and then decline . This type of two ages of brahma is equivalent to Lord Vishnu's age. At the end of that age Lord Vishnu will also perish. It says lord Shiva’s age is four times that of Lord Maha Vishnu according to Devi Bhagavatha fiifth skanda. Worshipping of Lord Shiva In Bhartha, there are many Shaivites. They follow varied forms of worships but all are basically linked to one another. Traditionally it can be divided in to two as that the ones follow the Vedic ways of worship and others who don’t. We could see a wide spread rituals that follow the sattvic way (sattva is one of the three gunas , means “of pure “,” positive” etc). Parasu Padam way of puja is an age old one. Once they have followed the Vedic ways but later they discarded it. The shiva lingam found in Gudamilla is said to be of dated back to 200 BC, from this we can conclude the antiquity of the Shiva Ling worship.
