- The Essence is one, that is Lord Shiva. Certainly, God Creates, Preserves, Hides, Destroys, and Graces all the organisms, and beings (Atmas).
- Under Lord Shiva, many other Gods are performing their duties. Hence, All the Atmas on Earth and Devalogam also pray to Lord Shiva.
- In Devalogam, there is no Shiva Temple so the atmas in Devalogam visit the Temple which is in the Earth.
