Being and Becoming Shivan

[Guest guest]

In Message 175 I remarked : "I remember reading a book about

Shiva

and why he is special, and the only one to be the consort of Devi.

Once Devi appears before the three of them ( Brahman, Vishnu and

Shiva ) in one of her most fierceful form. Brahman just turn his

head, and Vishnu close his eyes. Shiva look at Devi and smile.

Another story tells of how the Devi again appear before the three of

them in yet another horrible form, this time like a decompose corpse.

And again Brahma turn his head, Vishnu hide his face, but Shiva

embrace Devi lovingly. What

makes Shiva so special is that he is aware of everything at all times

and he is almost never touched by Maya. He is able to see beyond all

Maya."

 

In Devi Mahatmaya : The Fifth Chapter "Devi's conversation

with the

messenger", Devi remarked :

 

"He who conquers me in battle, removes my pride and is my match

in

strength in the world shall be my husband"

 

I believe the meaning to his is almost the same as the above message

175, and this refers to both the Male and Female Sadhak. A person who

is able to overcome or see the maya only then able to merge with

Devi. Thus I called the term : becoming Sivan. I was told that a

Sadhak who have accomplish their sadhana is also called a shivan.

 

Here is a picture of Devi as Shivan :

Now my questions ( or just some thoughts been bugging me lately) :

Does becoming a shivan is the same from a Shakta perspective to that

of a shivite?
