Lord Shiva has many names. He is often referred to as ‘Bholenath’, translated as the Lord (Nath) of simplicity (Bhole). The word ‘bhole’ in Hindi means down to earth and innocent. He is easy to please and showers his blessings on his devotees without any complex rituals. He gets easily pleased with simple puja, a Kalash of water, and bael leaves. The great tapasvi is also the God of Destruction and hence many people fear him. He is the one who wanders in graveyards, has his body smeared with ashes, and has ghosts to accompany him. He is still childlike without any ego and arrogance.


Lord Shiva is a tapasvi who enjoys meditation and is devoid of wealth and has given his entire wealth to his wife Parvati also known as Prakruti. Hrishi-munis and yogis consider Lord Shiva as a fatherly figure and call him ‘baba’ meaning father. Taking into consideration his vulnerability, innocence, and charity he is known as ‘Bholenath’.
