Introduction - "Hinduism regards man and woman as the two halves of the eternal

Being, each constituting a vibrant, existential part, quite incomplete in

itself. In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, Prajapati, the primordial God, divides

himself into two-man and woman, the symbols of cosmic polarity deriving

sustenance from the same source. In the cosmic scheme man represents Purusha

(the Person, Spirit) and woman Prakriti (Nature, Primal Matter), both of whom

unite to keep the world going. So goes the Vedic verse: ‘I am He, you are

She; I am song, you are verse; I am heaven, you are earth. We two shall here

together dwell becoming parents of children.’" Share the Wealth, With

Prem, Cheers
