You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed reading those texts. There's always something to be gained by reading the mythology of a culture as long as you see it as allegorical.

The Panchatantra and some of the stories in it may already be familiar to you. They're very much like Aesop's Fables.

Getting to Shaivism... generally when you look at Hindus, they will either be worshippers of Shiva (the god of destruction) or worshippers of Vishnu (the god of preservation) each with further sub-sects. From looking at Wiki, I see that Kashmiri Shaivism is a sub-sect. If you're looking for a starting point, you should check out Devdutt Pattanaik's Shiva - An Introduction.
