About Shiva

"The trident, Shiva's prime attribute, serves him as a weapon in feats of cosmic destruction, but, in addition, it is invested with deep philosophical meaning. It is this layer of meaning that led to the production of tridents and to the ritual of ayudha puja or weapon worship that is a regular feature of temple rites. A variety of Shaiva texts instruct worshipers to think of the trident and other ayudhas not as everyday tools of violence but rather as weapons of grace, whereby, Shiva destroys the bonds that ensnare the human soul. For instance, the text of the eleventh century Kamika Agama states that the trident's three prongs stand for the three gunas, or qualities, of purity (sattva), activity (rajas) and lethargy (tamas)."
