At this nationally accredited Yoga training they passed out prayer cards that said in Sanskrit, "I give my soul completely to Shiva." We were supposed to chant it, but I objected to a leader that my heart belonged to Jesus so I would not give my soul to Shiva. She patiently asserted that Jesus and Shiva were the same person and that I could call my god whatever name I wanted to. I respectfully but vehemently rejected that idea and still do. I reminded her that Shiva is also called “the Destroyer” in yoga religions, but Jesus came to give life and give it abundantly. Shiva and Jesus are definitely NOT the same entities. Jesus said,

John 10:10
"the thief comes only to kill, steal and destroy. I have come that they might have life and have it abundantly."

In the Bible the Destroyer is called “Beelzebub,” the prince of demons.

Matthew 10:25
"It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

"Beelzebub" is found in Mark
3:22. In Hebrew his name is Abaddon [destruction], but in Greek he is called Apollyon [destroyer]. Beelzebul (ba`al zebub in Hebrew) means Lord of the Flies (from ba`al lord + zebub fly) ; a god of the Philistines, popularly worshiped as the destroyer.

Mark 3:22, Matthew 12:24
The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and "He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."
