SHIVAPARVATI- THE ETERNAL TOGETHERNESS

He is the One who existed even before the world began.
He is the One who has been prayed to, even when He was unseen.
And ever since the very first time He chose to make His presence known,Shiva has been loved by millions.
Shiva is a storyteller’s delight.  But Shiva is not just a story,Shiva is a living spiritual truth.

Shiva is Mahakaal, the Ultimate Time Traveller.  As The Timeless One vouchsafed to us by the ancient tellings of the rishis, down to our grandmothers’ tales, He is the Pauranic Shiva: The Shiva from Kailash. Shiva, the mountain Chieftain who lives happily with His beautiful Queen, Parvati, and the merry mountain men called ganas.

The central import of Shiva’s story, is that of love: God created this universe, simply to love and be loved. The central import of Parvati’s life, is to be with Shiva, always. In so doing even through lifetimes, it is She, who establishes the Hindu belief in re-incarnation; for love it is, that can propel us to be re-born; to manifest ourselves just to be with the beloved, once again.

Parvati, who, as stated above, by Her very appearance ,kindles the subject of reincarnation and past association.
So too, women sing of Him while they wished to get married to someone else, because He is, among many things, a God who lavishly bestows boons on them to find a suitable groom.
He is happily married Himself and the name of His eternal beloved, Parvati, is always fused into His own name.
So often is He referred to as ‘Shivparvati’, that this plural has become synonymous with togetherness.
