Living Shrine

You visit the Siva Temple at Mylapore and ask ‘What is the name of this God?’ they reply, ‘Kapaleeswarar’. You visit ‘Kasi Viswanathar’ at Kasi, ‘Ramalingeswarar’ at Rameswaram, Velliyangireeswarar etc. You will find that the divine form at Kailash is called ‘Siva Shankar’!

Everything is Siva. Then why different names at different Temples? Many came to this earth like you and me, some realised their self during their life span and wherever their soul departed (Samadhi) there is a temple constructed. That is why different names.

If you too realise your self within your life span, you too will be worshipped even after your soul has departed and a temple will be constructed for you as well.

Where is the question of becoming God. You are already a God or Goddess. Just understand, and revel in the Bliss that you are Divinity Personified.
