Can we say Siva instead of Shiva ? Many say Om nama chivaya, or Siva Siva. Why? Is it correct? 

Shiva is a God worshipped by all Hindus. Both North and South Indians lay claim to this deity. How old is His worship? Where did He belong? I have tried to answer this question by delving into the meaning of the word and the antiquity.
