Recently i came across an article regarding how Shiva-The god has become such a rage amongst the youth. From T-shirts to tops, from sandals to socks.. bracelets to pendants... from tattoos to towel.. every commodity seems touched with the whiff of Shiva..and then it just invigorated my mind as to why... Suddenly why has he become so famous or better to say THE STYLE ICON OF THE YEAR. Is it because the totally different outlook and perspective we have been presented in the Shiva trio-logy by Author AMISH TRIPATHI has somewhere made us believe that he too is like a normal human being? He is just like you and me.A mortal being who gets terrified and troubled by issues affecting him, thinks from his heart, cares for the ones he loves and also makes mistakes and regrets later.The simplicity by which the author has detailed the life story and dilemma of the god made him so like us- the earthly creatures.
One can relate to him in the current age and scenario.He is not too mystical to be understood only after taking sanyaas. He is available 24*7 on internet, in your drawing room TV sets (Serial: Mahadev On Life OK), in temples and anywhere and everywhere. He has a rough and rugged style statement which does not shout for attention. In fact he is cool with his uncombed and ruffled hair, ash smeared body, non-branded home made chillum, serpent necklace and bare minimum leopard skin. He is like any other young boy who tries to get the attention of the person he loves or the person he thinks he will eventually fall in love with. He gets hurt when not able to get what he desires and what he feels he rightly so deserves. He has the courage to fight for himself and for the beliefs he stands for.All this and many other qualities make him all the more desirable and the one to be looked up to for inspiration.And with the so cool image which is being presented to us people actually look up to him also for fashion statement.He is walking the ramp albeit in designer clothes and chunk jewelry launched to commemorate the fad of Shiva-the cool god.
Today's youth is fed up of the corruption mired governance and is not afraid to rebel against it.The uncountable number of rallies and protests staged nowadays for any wrongful act are a proof of it.And in this scenario if he can relate to any god is none other than SHIVA.He also revolted against the Evil and unjust practices.There is no place for hypocrisy in his world.He wants you to be true to your Karma and wants you to keep at bay from the sinful activities.He respects truth and wreaks a havoc on unjust cruel irrevocable corrupt person.
If at all someone nominates him for the Style Icon of the year I reassure you, he will give the rest a run for the money.
You have made him the god of the season and please do not forget him as the years pass by like any other Icon you reverred a few years back and whose name you cannot even recollect without browsing on internet.Follow him but from heart and not just to join the bandwagon of blind followers or better to say to be a part of the herd of sheep.
Har Har Mahadev
Om Namah Shivay

All said and done,i hope the current Shiva fad will also help the youth to take some cue from his qualities, his nature and his attitude towards everything be it small ,insignificant or huge and influential.
