    Introducing the Shiva You Don’t Know; TRR Episode 22: Posture 23

     TRR: Episode 22 and Posture 23

    Title: Introducing the Shiva You Don’t Know

    Description: If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is probably a duck! Reasonably then…a duck! But what if it’s also called a duck! Think then that without a doubt, it’s a duck? Many of you have heard that the Lord of Yoga is called the Destroyer, Shiva. In this episode we are going to look at his other names, as well as the objects he holds or wears as this might, if you read your Bible, shed some light for you on who he actually is!

    The host from Stand Up For The Truth Mary welcomes back Dr. Alana Arguello to continue our conversation around her exhaustive work, "Unearthing Yoga's Ancient Roots". If Satan convinced mankind to think they can become gods or even are gods, how does that look in practice?
