About Book

Book Description
The Great God is Shiwa, whose matted hair catches and conducts the descent of the river of life in its passage from heaven to earth. Also to be found in the hair of Shiwa, adorning his brow like a diadem, is the crescent moon. This represents the cup of offering which brings about all manifestation and the passage of time in which each manifestation occurs.

About the Author
F. W. Bain was a Professor of History and Economics at Deccan College in Poona in the early twentieth century. Each of the books in this series is said to be translated from the original manuscripts, which were apparently in Sanskrit. Professor Bain's erudite yet sensitive introductions and footnotes indicate his extensive scholarship in both the Easter and Western traditions.
