4-Shiv Puraan - Introduction
Shiv Puraan is the 4th Puraan in the row of 18 Puraan. It is divided in seven Sanhitaa and contains more than 24,000 Shlok. It contains detailed description of Shiv, his Avataar (incarnations), his glory, Leelaa (activities), method to worship him, and some other interesting stories about Shiv.
This Puraan relates about Shiv Jee's form, secrets, importance and method worship. He is not only Pauraanic Dev but he is also the chief of the five Siddh Eeshwar. Ved has described him eternal; cause of all; creator, caretaker and destroyer of the universe. "Shiv" means "Kalyaan", and Kalyaan means to do good to others. Even he is the Isht Dev (Bhagvaan) of both Raam and Krishn .
(1) Vidyeshwar Sanhitaa
It is about, how Shiv Ling should be established, where it should be established, how Shiv should be worshipped, etc.
(2) Rudra Sanhitaa in Hindi
This Sanhitaa "Rudra Sanhitaa" is given here in Hindi language poetry. It is sent to us by Bhagwan Das Lahoti. Thanks to him. It is divided in five Khand (parts) - (1) Srishti (Creation) Khand, (2) Satee Khand, (3) Paarvatee Khand, (4) Kumaar Khand, and (5) Yuddh Khand. Here Rudra Sanhitaa is given in Hindi language poetry, Dohaa and Chaupaayee style, in which Tulasee has written his Raam Charit Maanas, for our general readers. We hope that our readers will benefit from it.

The Shiva Purana has 24,000 Shlokas. These are divided into 6 samhitas or sections. The names of the sections are Jnana, Vidyeshwara, Kailasa, Sanatkumar, Vayaviya and Dharma Samhitas. The Shiva Purana is Tamasika Puran, since it gives a lot of importance to norms and rituals, and talks a lot about Shiva.
The Puranas are sacred Hindu texts that were composed many hundreds of years ago. The knowledge of the Puranas supplements the knowledge of the Vedas and the Upanishads. There are a number of Puranas, but 18 or 19 Mahapuranas (there is a dispute in one of the Puranas being a Mahapurana or not). The main confusion is about the fourth Purana - is it the Shiva Purana or the Vayu Purana? The other Puranas are known as Upapuranas.
The Purana definition of the Mahapurana is that it must exhibit five characteristics: _It must describe the original creation of the universe (sarga), the periodic destruction and recreation (pratisarga) , the different eras (manvantras), the histories of the solar dynasty (Surya vamsha) and the lunar dynasty (Chandra vamsha), and the royal genealogies (vamshanucharita).
In the strictest sense, only the Vishnu Puran conforms to the typology rigidly.
