Dudes and Dudettes, lately (read since a very long time) I have been googling and reading a lot about our history which is not generally taught in schools and is not considered mainstream and often labeled as Mythology or fantasy. In this journey of stumbling upon stories and learning, one of my favorites is that of Shiv & Shakti.

I probably cannot write something which has not already been written or teach something which is not being taught by our great spiritual Gurus about Shiv and Shakti but still, I want to share this moment of joy which I had while reading/watching/listening about the pillar of our existence, Shiv & Shakti.

Shakti, daughter of Daksha Prajapati, was not aware of Shiv because of reasons which is not the point of this blog. And Shiv was, well, had renounced everything to live as an ascetic and was undeniably a non-conformist. From these two ends of a spectrum originated a great love story of Shiv & Shakti.

Shakti, the most beautiful, caring, loving, and the one who held all energies within her found a companion in Shiv, the ultimate Yogi, unmoved with pain, suffering, and desires of the external world. Together they formed a complete union. This love story is not just about them finding each other but manifesting each other.

In our small insignificant lives as a human, we often miss the opportunity of experiencing the joy of Shiv & Shakti in ourselves. We mistake the energies for genders and carry on to exist as an incomplete embodiment of hits and trials. What are we trying and what are we hitting God knows?

Here, I would abstain from writing any moral of the story or direction but isn’t the point of loving yourself or finding yourself is to make the Shiv & Shakti within you meet?

I have more to share, less time to write. I bow down to Shiva to let these two things settle themselves.

More on this later.
