He is said to bring good fortune, grace, and compassion. Shiva is depicted as clothed in ashes, with the crescent moon crowning his head, the holy river Ganges flowing from his matted hair, a third eye on his forehead, a serpent around his neck, and a tiger skin around his waist. As Nataraja, or \"Lord of the Dance\", he controls the forces of creation, preservation, and destruction. Award-winning author, Demi, presents the life and teaching of this central god within the Hindu pantheon, replete with stunning illustrations that faithfully reflect the ancient traditions of Hindu painting and iconography. Also included is an appendix of Hindu prayers to the god Shiva and notes on his representation as \"Lord of the Dance\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemi is the award-winning author of over 130 bestselling children's books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Fantastic Adventures of Krishna\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSaint Francis of Assisi\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMahavira\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGifts of Our Lady of Guadalupe\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTalking to God\u003c\/i\u003e.
