Reading Notes: Tales of Shiva


  • Shiva teaches Parvati of the Vedas and it lasts for years and Parvati began to lose focus.  In a spit of Anger he banishes he to be a fisherwoman because she does not have the focus.
  • Instantly he regrets it because Parvati disappears 
  • Parvati is reborn as a child to a fisherman
  • Nandi, Shiva's servant, becomes a shark and attack the fisherman in Parvati's village and Parvati's father says that he will give his daughter to the fisherman who catches the shark
  •  Shiva hears Parvatis prayer for help and becomes a fisherman and cashes the shark
  • They wed and "live happily ever after"
