Shiva is the supreme God in yoga. We can see him as a symbol of a victorious yogi. Shiva has cosmic consciousness. He lives in a world of duality. He lives in light (peace-oneness-bliss). Shiva, as cosmic consciousness, can take many forms. The most famous incarnations of Shiva are: meditator, blessed (karma yogi), ego-donor (subordinated under the goddess Kali / under the will of God) and dancer with life (Nataraya). Shiva is the master of life. He lives his life with the qualities of earth (connection with Brahman, happiness), fire (connection with Rudra, power), water (connection with Vishnu, love), air (connection with Muni, wisdom) and ether (connection with everything that exists ; space, unity, transcendence).
