Duties of Lord Siva

Duties of a renunciate? None.

Define Lord Shiva, his incarnations? they all have particular roles; kill, support, protect, etc. teach dharma, etc...

Krishna is Shiva and Shiva is Krishna; you've heard so much no?

Shiva is Vishnu and Vishnu is Shiva.

one can differentiate things if so one pleases, but truly, what knowledge do we have?

thats like saying that creation is one thing without the other, there is a side of the coin without the other...

the old stories say that lord shiva will do dance of destruction and all things will become anhialated. but then another creation will take place? my friends, my dj's in a comma for letting the record skip letting the record skip letting the record sksisksiippp.

there is no apparent final destruction; Lord shiva is a renuntiate, his duty is to do as so he pleases. he liberated in the living.

the Shiva who is the Supreme Consciousness, that's another ball game. we don't know anything about it... so I've been told ^____^

The Brahma Purana (124.24-28) elaborates that by means of the flames from Sheshanaga (Sankarshana), the Supreme burns the nether worlds from below. This fire of universal destruction reaches the earth and burns the entire surface. The fires also burn the Bhuvah and Svarga worlds, and when the higher planets are burned up, the residents leave in their subtle bodies for Maharloka. However, as explained in the Brahmanda Purana (3.4.1.157), the fires of devastation move throughout the universe and this time, in the final annihilation of the cosmos, burn the Bhuvaloka, Bhuvarloka, and Svarloka worlds, as well as the Maharloka planetary system. Elsewhere in the Bhagavatam (5.25.3), it states that Lord Shiva plays a significant role in the final annihilation of the universe. "At the time of devastation, when Lord Anantadeva [Ananta Sesha, Sankarshana] desires to destroy the entire creation, He becomes slightly angry. Then from between His two eyebrows appears three-eyed Rudra, carrying a trident. This Rudra, who is known as Sankarshana, is the embodiment of the eleven Rudras, or incarnations of Lord Shiva. He appears in order to devastate the entire creation."

The Brahma Purana (124.16) explains that it is the imperishable Lord Krishna who assumes the form of Rudra to bring all the elements and living beings back into Himself in the process of annihilation.

After Shiva appears in this way, he begins to do his dance of dissolution, dancing wildly to the beat of his drum. "At the time of dissolution, Lord Shiva's hair is scattered, and he pierces the rulers of the different directions with his trident. He laughs and dances proudly, scattering their hands like flags, as thunder scattered the clouds all over the world." (Bhag.4.5.10) Lord Shiva's dancing causes such a commotion that it brings in the clouds that cause the universe to become inundated with water, which is what happens next.

At the end of the last day of Brahma's life, the final annihilation of the universe begins. The Bhagavatam (11.3.9-15) explains that when it is time for the annihilation of all material elements, the Supreme Being withdraws the cosmic manifestation in His form of time, causing the whole universe to vanish into its unmanifest state. Again a terrible drought takes place on earth for 100 years, and everywhere is tormented by the heat of the sun. From the mouth of Sankarshana emanates a fire that scorches everything as it is carried by great winds. Then hoards of clouds pour torrents of rain for 100 years, flooding the entire universe in water with raindrops as long as the trunk of elephants. The Vairaja Brahma gives up his body and enters the subtle unmanifest nature, the pradhana. Then the elements merge into one another from the earth into water, into fire, into air, into space, into time, and into the element of false ego in the mode of ignorance. False ego is the subtle element that causes the living entities to forget their spiritual nature and to think they are their material bodies. Then the material senses and the subtle element of intelligence merge into false ego in the mode of passion, and the mind and demigods merge into false ego in the mode of goodness. Then the element of false ego merges into the maha-tattva, which is the total amount of ingredients of the material energy in its unmanifest state.

  Hare Krishna..
  
  Thank you for replying Prabhuji.
  
  Can you explain what exactly happens during the annihilation of the universe? Will Lord Siva and Lord Brahma also be absorbed back into the Supreme Lord at the time of destruction?
  
  Regards,
