Eight Forms Of Lord Shiva

If you are a devotee of Lord Shiva, then knowing about the eight forms of Shiva is very important.
They are called the Ashtamurthys.

The concept of Ashtamurthys explains why we say that this universe is a manifestation of Shiva.
The five elements, the panchabhutas that the universe in made up of are all Shiva.
Bhumi, Jalam, Agni, Vayu, and Akasha are all Lord Shiva.
Whenever you see anything that is solid, you should know that it is Shiva.
Whenever you see anything that is liquid, you should know that it is Shiva.
Whenever you see anything that is gaseous, you should know that it is Shiva.
Whenever you see any form of energy like fire, lightning, wind, you should know that it is Shiva.
Whenever you see any empty space, you should know that it is Shiva.

So the material universe is nothing but Shiva.

Surya and Chandra, they are two visible Gods.
They are also Shiva.

Whenever you see someone who is worshiping, then you should know that he is Shiva.
The worshiper is called Yajamana.
So the eight forms of Shiva are - Bhumi, Jalam, Agni, Vayu, Akasha, Yajamana, Surya, and Chandra.
