Brahman is Ardhanarishwara. Brahman is HE as well as SHE. How can

there be Shiva and not Shakti?

 

yes, indeed! This reminds me of some verses from Jnanadeva's

immortal work 'Amritanubhava' ... (chapter2)

 

 

1) Shiva AND SHAKTI are seated on the same ground.(EXISTENCE) and

they wear the same ornaments of Light(knowledge). From time

immemorial they dwely happily in union.

 

 

2) It is through God (shiva) that the other is Goddess (shivAa)and

without HER the lord is nowhere. AS a matter of fact their existence

is due to each other .

 

3) The two cannot be distinguished because the appearance of her lord

is due to Her while her existence is due to Him!

 

4) Two lute produce one musical note. The flowers are two but the

fragrance is one.

 

5) Shakti is inseperable from siva just like musk and its fragrance,

fire and its heat.

 

 

MEMBERS , join me in saluting the cosmic couple Shiva and shakti on

this SOMAVARA!
