Shiva is resident of the Supreme Abode. Human souls go there. So far so good. Do animals have souls, do they need to Shiva ? Where do they go ?Anyway what did you mean about different Soul World for animals?
I prompted this because I do not know. As humans, we are living creatures, as much as all other creatures, as much as an ameoba and a bacterium. The soul comprising of the mind, intellect and sanskars, may eliminate the definition of the soul for lower level creatures, or is this true ? Somehow we have come to worship Gods in the form of animals, and in other religion(s), believe to re-incarnate into an animal. Animals are with us from the start up to the end.
So (a) is there really a Soul World for other creatures other than humans, and if there was, (i) is it together with us humans (ii) are all living creatures included or do we have a Soul World for each darwarnian-type classification ? (Biology was not my strongest subject, please correct me for the latest science classification of creatures).
Any thoughts ?
