Abstract

The Linga Puranas are included in Siva Puranas, so the God Siva has occupied an important place in these Puranas. Linga Puranas have focused on the characters, manifestations, eightfold forms, and superiority of Siva. Moreover, in these texts, the phallic form of Siva is worshiped. On the basis of various approaches towards Divinity, one can claim in the Linga Puran there are some verses which concentrate on Monotheism, i. e., describe the Siva as one and transcendent God. At the same time, some other verses imply a Pantheistic approach, for the whole university (macrocosm) and even all of the men (microcosm) are considered as Siva’ s body. All thing issue from Him, He is all thing and all thing will return towards Him. He is both transcendent and imminent. We will try to show the relation between God and cosmos.
