No where in Hindu Religious texts Lord SIVA is described as "Destroyer".
This a creation of "Veted Interesrs".
SIVAM means "Mangalam"=Auspicious./Benevolent.
There is a prayer on Lord Siva.
"Sivam,Sivakaram,Zaantham,Siva Aatmaanam"
"Siva Uttamam,Siva Maarga Pranaythaaram"
"Pranathosmi Sadhaa Sivam".
Lord Siva is described as Zaantham=Peaceful/Serene/Poised/calm.
Repeatedly He is described a s Auspicious and Benevolent--Lord SIva is also described as "Aasuthoshar"=One who gets "Easily" pleased by Prayers.
In Vedham a large portion is dEvoted to Praiise Lord Siva only."Mahanyaas Poorvaka Rudram/Chamakam Japam.

Europeans and Americans started understanding the Greatness of LORD SIVA.
