Manifestations of Shiva

I just found this great link, thanks to rouquin ricain's journal: Diana Eck's lecture on Manifestations of Shiva. The lecture is broken into video clips, with an accompanying slide show.

In this program, Professor Diana Eck introduces us to the mythology, imagery, and pilgrimage places of the Hindu great god Shiva. With video from the course Hindu Myth, Image, and Pilgrimage and an accompanying interview, the program follows Professor Eck as she approaches Indian civilization through her exploration of Shiva and his holy family, grounding understanding of this culture in the landscape of India.

I heard Eck lecture years ago -- she was very good, and extremely knowledgeable. Her book Benaras: City of Light, is also excellent -- scholarly yet readable.
