Shiva, the god of eroticism, is also the master of the method by which the virile force may be sublimated and transformed into a mental force, an intellectual power.
This method is called Yoga, and Shiva is the great yogi, the founder of Yoga….
Assuming the various postures of Yoga, Shiva creates the different varieties of beings… Then in the posture of realization (siddhasana) he reintegrates into himself all the universe which he has created.
Alain Danielou, L’Erotisme divinise p. 42
