I’m intrigued by this. Sati needs Shiva in the way that our earthly life needs meaning. But Shiva also needs Parvati, or else he would still be a recluse in the mountains… Interesting that it is when they come together that Ganesha, prosperity, is born… I’m going to meditate on this a bit.

[@TheEmpressPalpatine]

I assume you mean prosperity in a larger view sort of way, not the prosperity of the stock market or the successful business venture. Shiva does not sound like the type. I remember reading a story about him as the wedding crasher. He wore skins and snakes. He was totally unconventional. I have been reading this book about the early life of a favorite fictional character of mine, Palpatine. The book is called "Darth Plagueis." His backstory is very Shiva-ish. I found out recently his first name is Sheev. It sounds rather close, and I don't think it is an accident. The Sith are given a more cosmic role, like Shiva's role. They destroy so things can be reborn. This book brings that out.

[@Mahadev_BHAKT.....]

​​@@TheEmpressPalpatine He actually said to destroy means Recreation. Shiva and Parvati always love eachother, never fall for anyone. Shiv can fall in love with Parvati and Parvati can fall in love with Shiv..

Thank you Monica. I appreciate you recognizing the work that goes into my videos. I only want to produce the best and most authentic work. On KZbin there is a lot of misinformation and new age info on spirituality, but not any of the truly deep content from the East. That is what I want to provide.

Marriage of lord Shiva is story of evolution of the universe at macrocosm level. This universe is nothing but a giant love of Shiva and Shakti.

[@innapinch7112]

It's worth actually reading these stories in the Shiv Puran. There are so many more extraordinary details. Like how at the wedding of Shiva and Sati, Lord Bramha, whom was officiating, became so aroused at the sight of Sati that he "spilled his seed" upon the ground in front of her, pushing Lord Shiva to curse him, but forgive him again.

[@Rockzzzv]

You are right and video is very nice. The whole universe is created by supreme almighty. Now the supreme personality of godhead manifests as brahma , Vishnu and mahesh. Lord Brahma is called the creator because he is the creator of all beings of universe (Humans, animals, dieties, celestial beings, demons, devas etc) He is the largest being of this material world. Lord Vishnu is called the preserver because he gives salvation to all beings all souls are part of him. Body is created by brahma but comes into work by soul. Lord Shiva is called the destroyer because he annhilates the whole universe during the end of cycles of yuga. Lord shivas abode lies in between the material and spiritual world. Because the body of all beings all the matter is shiva and soul puts life into body and energy is needed to move the body and to create and destroy also that is where Shakti comes into being. Without shiva and Shakti balanced and in union moksha is not possible. Without balance between masculine and feminine both. Whether you are married or not it doesn't matter. If you can stay non married with a balance between shiva and Shakti in your body then no need to marry. If you cannot then marry . That's why in ancient time sages and saints were not restricted from marriage. The feminine form of god is called as goddess. The energy of god. Without her will nothing's possible. She is responsible for the creation of universe. From her womb the whole creation emerged even the manifestations of Trinity. She gives the fruits of actions for each and every individual. It is her influence that keeps humans into this material existence. Don't confuse Goddess Durga i.e the mother of all with Goddess Parvati who is the consort of lord shiva even though she is also the manifestation of supreme mother as all woman are. Lol i tried to explain in the best way i can i hope this was helpful. Btw ty for video

PLEASE DONT CALL MY RELIGION A MYTHOLOGY. DO YOU EVER CALL CHRISTIANITY A MYTHOLOGY?

[@JasonGregoryAuthor]

Yes I do call Christianity a mythology. It is a mythology. I don't see the problem with that? Mythology is not a negative word. Maybe you should study what mythology means.

[@sophiashekinah9872]

Yes. Vishnu the preserver would have had to have been the consort of Kali the destroyer of demons. Vishnu preserved mankind when Kali was in bloodlust from feasting on the demons.

[@hsram1985]

Vishnus consort is goddesses Lakshmi that is prosperity (including spiritual) and harmony. Goddess kali is massive unstoppable destructive form of goddess Shakti. In microcosm goddess kali destroys negative forces within us.

@@TheEmpressPalpatine Hinduism (only Hinduism and its in its true form) is not a belief system like any other religion. It's not faith. It's the the law of the universe. So called dark side is also the energy of BrahmAn (Supreme consciousness) himself in Hinduism. It's all about evolution of the Atman the soul that is part of BrahmAn. There is no Satan type exists.

[@TheEmpressPalpatine]

@@hsram1985 The Dark Side of the Force is not the same as the Judeo-Christian devil. It is another way to say what you just said. I am not bound to any particular religion. No single one has all truth. Among them all, be it Gnosticism, Kabbalism, Odinism, etc., the truth is. Hinduism is among the best. Even Carl Sagan mentioned it in his series "Cosmos." Star Wars is a new religion, probably suited to modern people. It is whatever works.
