The Divine ArdhaNarIshwar Form (“The Divine Form Whose One Half Is Male And The Other Half Is Female”) Depicts Lord Shiva And Maa Parvati, A Form Of Maa Maha Kaali, As Two Halves Of One Divine Form. The Divine ArdhaNarIshwar Form Symbolizes that male and female principles cannot be separated. The Divine ArdhaNarIshwar Form Conveys The Unity Of opposites in the universe, such as of Purusha and Prakriti.
The Divine ArdhaNarIshwar Form Also Harmonizes the two conflicting ways of life: the spiritual way of the ascetic as Symbolized By Lord Shiva, and the worldly way Symbolized By Maa Parvati. Lord Shiva Also Symbolizes The Absolute Consciousness And Maa Maha Kaali Symbolizes The Divine Consciousness In Motion. The Divine ArdhaNarIshwar Form Establishes That The Divine Consciousness And The Powers Of The Divine Consciousness Are But Parts Of One Reality.
