The Mystery of Ardhanarishvara<\/h2>\n

According to the Devi Purana<\/em>, in the beginning of the universe, Lord Shiva worshipped Adi-Parashakti<\/strong> for creation. The supreme Goddess appeared from the left half of Lord Shiva. Because of this, Lord Shiva came to be known as Ardhanarishvara<\/strong> (The Lord who is half-woman and half-man).<\/p>\n

It was Goddess Siddhidatri who bestowed all the 18 types of Siddhis upon Lord Shiva. She is the source of all energy in the universe and is worshipped by Devas, Gandharvas, Asuras, Yakshas, and Siddhas alike.<\/p>\n
