Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Why do we call HER shivaa? Commentary for this naama runs long in saubhaagyabhaaskara. I am planning to go over it slowly and one by one on the meanings. - In nut shell SHE is called shivaa because SHE is non-different from Lord shiva. And it is supported by quotes from liN^ga puraaNa. .... shiva abhedaa vaa shivaa | tat.h abhedhasya pravR^itti nivR^ittitaa cha linga puraaNe darshitaa | "yathaa shivastathaa devii yathaa devii tathaa shivaH | tasmaadabhedabuddhyaiva shiveti kathayantyumaam.h" iti | tatraiva sthalaantare | "umaasha.nkarayorbhedo nastyeva paramaarthataH | dvidhaasau ruupamaasthaaya sthitaH eko na saMshayaH" iti | paramaatma shivaH proktaH shivaa saiva prakiirtiite iti | ... ===== ambaaL daasan Ravi sharaNAgata raxakI nivEyani sadA ninnu nammiti mInAxI http://www.ambaa.org/ http://www.advaita-vedanta.org Get personalized email addresses from Mail - only $35 a year! http://personal.mail./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Hi, Shiva and Parvati are extremely evolved cosmic beings. They have long integrated their dualites to become twinrays or consorts. They are not husband and wife but consorts. They are non-separable. They are just a form of integrated cosmic energy. So to us humans, they look male as shiva when we tap into their masculine divine attributes and female as uma when we tap into their feminine divine attributes. But from the higher realms, the are ONE, and hence we call HER shivaa. Namaste. > Why do we call HER shivaa? Commentary for this naama runs long in > saubhaagyabhaaskara.
