Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 sivamUrtih : In the form of Siva Because there is no separation between Siva and Sakti. The Sruti says, "One Rudra hidden in all beings, he is with MayA, with parts and without parts. He is Devi herself, and is not separated from her. By knowing this, one attains immortality." Or, Siva, beneficient, mUrti, form; or siva, salvation, mUrti, form. Because salvation is the realization of the very self. The Saura Sam : "Now I shall explain concisely to you the nature of salvation… Hence the supreme salvation is the realization of the Self, those who were bound by avidyA, are freed by vidyA."
