Shiva, Protector of CERN!

The news from CERN is that the large Hadron Collider is set to restart (yes, again!) around Feb. 20. → source.

As I was looking for pictures of the collider, I found this photo in front of CERN facility.

I recognized that statue in the background, but couldn’t quite place it at first.  Google to the rescue! It’s the statue of Shiva, which happens to be a destructive deity. In other words, Shiva, God of destruction, is prominently placed and displayed outside of CERN.

Brilliant! I feel better already. No wonder the damn thing doesn’t work.

    I think you really need to read up on Shiva before you state lord of Destruction.. he is a symbol of rebirth and re-creation .. and lots more. you really need to educate yourself on these topics!

    SHIVA is NOT the GOD of DESTRUCTION !!! I know the web is plastered with that info, but trust me its wrong. He destroys evil, not righteousness. In fact “SHIVA” means “auspicious” in Sanskrit.
