  1. Sayan Dubey

    Easy to understand, but a little too simplistic for my taste. Good for beginners, though. I expected little bit more depth.

  2. Anjali Agrawal

    While informative, the book felt a bit repetitive at times. Good overall, but not Pattanaik’s best work.

  3. Rohan

    A thought-provoking read! Pattanaik simplifies complex ideas. Some parts felt repetitive, but overall, a good introduction to Shiva’s symbolism.

  4. Riti Fauzdar

    Informative and engaging, but could have benefited from more diverse perspectives. Author focused too much on one.

  5. Tridibesh Mukhopadhyay

    An insightful journey into the symbolism of Shiva. Pattanaik’s clarity makes complex concepts accessible. Enjoyed!

    Pattanaik’s writing is captivating as always. This book opened my mind to new perspectives on Shiva. Highly recommend!

  7. Rohan Singh

    Fascinating book! Pattanaik’s insights are always enlightening. This book really broadened my understanding of Hindu philosophy.

    This book is simply superb. A must-read for anyone interested in understanding Hindu mythology. I loved it.

    I enjoyed Pattanaik’s interpretation, but found some arguments unconvincing. Still, a worthwhile read for those interested.

    A wonderful introduction to Shiva’s symbolism! Well-written and accessible. I would definitely recommend it to others.

  12. Anas Ahmad

    A decent overview, but lacks the depth I was hoping for. Good starting point though for beginners. Can be read once.

  13. Thejus Chandran C

    Intriguing exploration of the linga. I appreciated the author’s perspective, but it could be denser with information, i would have liked more context.

  14. Ayush Patel

    Excellent book! Provides a new lens through which to view ancient concepts. I will definitely read it again!
