Shiva was loved by all - Aryans, or Dravidians and Mongoloid..He had three marriages, one with an Aryan Girl called Ganga whose son was Karthik, another with a Dravidian girl called Kali whose daughter was Bhairavi and with a Mongoloid gal called Parvati who gave birth to son called Bhairav. While he lived in Himalayas but when snow would cover it up and people themselves would migrate He often visited Varanasi which in a way His winter capital. Often His wife Ganga would visit with Him. People used to say Shiva loves His wife Ganga so much that He has kept her on His head.
Ganga often used to be worried as though Bhairav and Bhairavi, son and daughter of Parvati and Kali were spiritually very advanced, not so was the case with Karthik. But more than his family life what we should know more is about real contributions of Shiva to humanity.
How this beautiful real history is converted into non sensical concept of Ganga being river, Parvati being daughter of Himalaya and so on.
Why Shiva married three girls? Infact there was no concept of marriage at that time and it was mother who was to rear children with zero responsibilities on father. Shiva marriages established concept of family.
Why three marriages? it was to bring coherence amomg these ever fighting these communities of Aryans, Dravidians and Mongoloids.
Similarly Asurs were not any kind of demons, they were the people living in Assyrian region around Europe who were opposed to Vedic practices of Aryans. But they too loved Shiva and had their own spiritual practises...
Shaivism and love for Shiva was all pervasive throughtout the world even in America..where Mayan Civilisation still has roots of Shiva worship.
You all would be surprised to know when people did not accept Christianity even after 5000 years of Shiva, since it did not have Kali, they introduced the concept of Black Mary.
Buddhism too when was not being accepted due to people not ready to give up Shaivism introduced the concept of Buddha Shiva. Shiva popularity stays till date.
Shiva walked upon this earth some 7000 years ago.
He was Sadguru and Tarak Brahm who incarnated as human just like Krishna, and synthesised all forms of spiritual practices including Tantra, Chakra Sadhna, Meditation etc.
Though vedic practises were there, but a quick way he could add value to the lives of tribal people ( with hollow sunken cheeks ) was to teach them meditation as learning Vedas would require a lifetime.
Meditation immediately raised their levels. It ushered them on path to realise full human potential.
However vedic people started calling them Ghosts and what not, whereas they too were simple human beings who loved Shiva as other communities did.
Though all these communitied did not like each other but they all loved Shiva and followed him. Not only humans, even birds and animals would be drawn to Him and he too protected them.
Nandi, whom we today consider as Bull was infact Yawk as in Himalayan regions even today only Yawk is used for commuting.
There are many firsts he gave to humanity for which you may read book:

True knowledge about who Shiva is, must be known to all and then only true history of world will fall into its places and picture would become clear. Else people will always see histrory of world in only a fragmented way whereas we all have a common history united by historical Shiva.
