Information About

Shiva Sahasranama




The overlapping of names with the Vishnu sahasranama has led Adi Shankara to conclude that Shiva and Vishnu are identical and both equal to monotheistic God , a conclusion that is now a central tenet of Advaitan or Smarta Hinduism . In fact, one of the names of Shiva, recited in the Mahabharata version states, that "He is in form of Vishnu who floats on the waters after the universal dissolution."
