Answer

While there isn't a universally defined "7 laws of Shiva," Hindu philosophy associates these principles with Shiva's teachings:

  1. Detachment (Vairagya) - Non-attachment to material possessions
  2. Meditation (Dhyana) - Inner focus and spiritual practice
  3. Transformation - Embracing change and destroying negativity
  4. Truth (Satya) - Living authentically and honestly
  5. Compassion (Karuna) - Kindness toward all beings
  6. Balance - Harmonizing creation and destruction
  7. Transcendence - Moving beyond ego and limitations

These reflect Shiva's nature as the supreme yogi and transformer.
