Who is this Lord Shiva Shakti why is called Shiva Shakti

 Shiva is incomplete without

Shakti.. Or we can say that Shiv is Shav

without Shakti... Ardhnarishvara is the

androgynous form of the Shiva and his

consort Parvati (Shakti). Ardhanarishvara

represents the synthesis of masculine

and feminine energies of the universe

(Purusha and Prakriti) symbolizing that

both cannot be without the other - one is

incomplete in the absence of the other. However there is a much deeper signific-

ance of the Ardhnarishvara incarnation for

this form signifies the interdependence

of Nature and Man - Man and Woman. It

is said that a Woman completes a Man.

This saying does not only apply purely

in a companion and physical sense but

also drives home the fact that both Man

(manhood representing discrimination,

single pointed goal orientation, path

to righteousness, intellectual decision

making) and Woman (representing

sensitivity, emotions, tenderness,

compassion, passion) cannot survive in

singularity and both these emotions are

not competing with each other but rather

need each other for survival as each of

these complement each other.

Woman represents Nature for she

has the power to create to give birth

and to sustain her creation. Hence it is

said it blessed to be born as a Woman.

Our Universe- Our Environment - Our

Surrounding Nature-Shakti has helped

create and sustain us. She provides us

with Food, Resources and Shelter.Man- Purush thrives on Nature which is

Fertile and provides him resources. Man

in his over zealous attitude has exploited

Shakti which once in a while reminds man

of her exploitation through earthquakes,

Tsunamis, Forest Fires etc. However

Nature cannot be without Man for her pur

pose would be defeated. She reaps and

grows by engaging man into procreation

- Creating New Technologies - New

Foundations. Similarly Man cannot sustain

without Nature as he is kept in activity and

dynamism through Shakti Nature.
