Nireshwarayay Nikhileshwaraya,
Namaha shivaayay cha namah shivaya_/\_
Parvati is like the snake with motion. Siva is like the motionless snake. Waveless ocean is Siva. Ocean with waves is Sakti. The transcendental Supreme Being is Siva. The manifested aspect of the Supreme is Sakti. Siva is attributeless. He is Nishkriya. Sakti is with attributes. She creates.
Parvati's Kaliform dances on the breast of Siva. She has terrible form but She is not really terrible. She is all-merciful and gentle. She wears a garland made up of the skulls. She wears the heads of Her devotees. How loving and affectionate She is to Her devotees!
Parvati is the dynamic aspect of Siva. Siva is the static aspect. Lord Siva is like a dead corpse. He is absolutely calm, motionless, breathless, with His eyes closed in Samadhi. He is actionless, changeless. He is untouched by the cosmic play or Lila that is eternally going on, on His breast.
The posture of Siva in meditation itself makes us thrilled. How is it possible to be so static,without a single movement,..It really is scary at the same time evokes awe.
He is absolutely dead to the world. He is beyond the three Gunas. There is no duality, no plurality, no relativity, no differentiation between subject and object, no distinction, no difference, no Dvandvas, no Raga-Dvesha, no good and evil in Him. He is ever pure,Suddha Nirmala, Nirlipta (unattached).
He is the source, support,and first cause for this universe.Jagat Karana. He simply gazes. In contrast Sakti is vitalised. She works and creates. In His mere presence Sakti keeps up the play of this universe or Lila
The whole world is a mere vibration or Spandana in Him. He is superconscious and yet He has cosmic consciousness. He constitutes all the names and forms and yet He is above all names and forms. This is a great marvel and a supreme mystery which cannot be comprehended by the wordly intellect
Without Siva, Sakti has no existence and without Sakti, Siva has no expression. It is through Sakti that the Impersonal Supreme Being Siva or Nirguna Brahman becomes the Personal Being or Saguna Brahman.
Siva or Nirguna Brahman becomes the Personal Being or Saguna Brahman when he unites with his Sakti.Siva is the Soul of Parvati,Durga or Kali.Parvati is identical with Siva. Siva is Satchidananda. Parvati is Satchidananda Mayi. Siva and Sakti are one and neither is higher than the other. Sakti is Chit, Chidrupini, Chinmatra Rupini.
The conversation between Siva and Parvati when she came to serve him proves her awareness about herself as Prakriti to Purusha Shiv. Shiv Maha Puran validates the fact.
Himavan requested Shiv to allow Parvati there so that she could be at his service. Lord Shiva declined to keep her with him, fearing her presence might cause hindrance in the path of his penance.
Now, Himavan became very concerned about his daughter's future and wondered whether Parvati would remain unmarried.
Conversation between Parvati & Shiva
When Parvati saw her father becoming worried by Shiva's response she decided to intervene. She said to lord Shiva-
"I am 'Prakriti' (Nature) and you are the 'Purusha' (almighty). You are in Saguna form because of me.
In my absence, you will find it impossible even to exist in form.
So that is the fact.Parvati from the begining knows the ultimate reality of herself. No need of Shiva to enlighten her of her Adi Sakti Swarup. But unfortunately UN thinks otherwise . Ofcourse there are people who believe that evolution metamorphosis of Parvati...through Shiv...no problem Loke Bhinna Ruchih. The world is made up of people with different tastes.
My prayer
O Devi! all auspicious one, giver of success and prosperity, we bow before you! Shower peace and happiness on this earth and protect us ever more by Your kind compassionate glance
Jai Mata Parvati ki.
Thank you. But this is not fiction and she is not a normal TV heroine. She is Adi Sakti.. Taking liberty and showing her thus they crossed all the limits. I have more than enough proofs to show they are wrong. Any way nothing new for UN and Sid T. It has become a habit with them to play with our Epicall charecters and godly figures.Originally posted by: chemgirl
Nice post Lakshmi Di. And very informative. I guess the writer of the shows wants to show a woman's journey to realizing the power she holds within her and hence Parvati is shown as being unaware of her true power.
Tripura Sundari is the Sakti of Lord Siva. She and Siva are one. She is extremely beautiful. She attracts the devotees to Her blissful Self and sheds wisdom, devotion and divine light on them. Hence, She is called Tripura Sundari. She helps the aspirants to destroy their ahamkara and move ahead towards eternal bliss.
The whole world is under Her control. The entire universe is under the sway of Her three Gunas. All the ties and bonds of Karma can be broken down; the wheel of births and deaths can be stopped only by Her worship .All sins can be destroyed and the eternal bliss of Siva can be realised only through singing Her praise and repetition of Her Names.
She is called Tripura, The body of a man or a woman is one of the forms assumed by Her. The whole world is Her body. All the Devas are Her forms only. All the triplets of the sacred texts are contained in Her.
The triplets, viz., the three Gunas, the three states of consciousness, the three fires, the three bodies, the three worlds, the triple power (Iccha Sakti, Kriya Sakti and Jnana Sakti), the three Svaras (Udatta, Anudatta and Svarita), the Trivarnikas, the three kinds of Karmas (Sanchita, Agami and Prarabdha), the Trimurtis, the three letters A, U, M, and the triad Pramata, Pramana and Prameya, knower, knowledge and knowable, seer, sight and seen, are all contained in Tripurasundari.
All the Devatas dwell in this body. They are the presiding deities of the various organs. The Lord Tryambaka dwells in Muladhara, Jambukesvara in Svadhishthana, Arunachalesvara in Manipura, Nataraja in Anahata, Kalahastisvara in Visuddha, Visvesvara in Ajna and Srikanthesvara in Sahasrara.
All the sacred places are in her bodyKedar in the forehead, Amaravati in the tip of the nose, Kurukshetra in the breasts and Prayaga in the heart.
All the nine planets have their special abodes in the body. Sun is in the Nada-Chakra, moon in the Bindu-Chakra, Mars in the eyes, Mercury in the heart, Jupiter in the Manipura, Venus in the Svadhishthana, Saturn in the navel, Rahu in the face and Ketu in the thorax.
Countless rivers and hills are also allotted special places in the body. Whatever is found in the outer world is found in the body also. This body is microcosm. It is Pindanda.
This is Tripura Rahasya. This is the reality of Parvati that she is aware of and not needed outer help even if it is from Shiv himself. She knew her Sati incarnation. He need not remind her. Shiv Puran validates the fact.
