Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I have been trying to find the answer to the following query for the last many years, and even sent emails to about two dozen renowned Gurus across the world. Unfortunately no success. "We address our deities (gods and goddesses) in such a way that we always take the name of the goddess before the name of the god, e.g. Sita-Ram; Radhey-Shyam; Lakshmi-Narayan; Gauri-Shankar etc.etc. "Why in the case of Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati we say SHIVA- PARVATI, and not the other way around." Please help. Regards - RAJ SHARDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Dear Members, Our Gods usually have a consort. The name of the Goddess in the name of the God shows the Goddess to whom he belongs. There can be many Ramas but Sita's Rama << Seetayah Ramah >> is Seetaram. Totally focused no question of missed identity . Similarly LakshmiNarayana, GauriShankar, RadheyShyam etc. ShivaParvati simply means Shiva and Parvati it is Dwandwasamas. In Sanskrit it will be ShivaParvatyow like ParvatiParameshwarow. sincerely, Bhalchandra G.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Hari Om! Hari Om Tat Sat! Parvathi is the human name of UMA or SHAKTHI; Lord Shri Sadha Shiva loves to be called Gowri-Shankar! Uma-Shankar! In Shri Shiva astrotram a manta is "OmShivaa Priyayai namah". Unlike other A+A A- (A+ Brahma, A Narayana, A- Rudra) Lord Shiva has half of his self with Shakthi and is always Aradhanari. So if a jiva says Shiva Shivani is embedded in HIM. It is like Ghee in Milk. He loves to call her Shiva..which simply mean utam pure auspiciousness only. HE and HIS ways cannot be told but can be only be experience in realization. Shiva's way is Siddha way which has to be realized by his Siddha bhava. SubahmMastu! Sarvam Sri Krishna Arpanamastu!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 RkSharada Ji, Shiva is inseparable from Parvati (also referred to as Shakti),the daughter of Himavaan and Haimavati. There is no Shiva without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva;the two are one, the absolute state of being - consciousness and bliss. Shiva splitting into two halves of male and female indicates the origin of the Ardha nareeswar - the union of substance and energy, the Being and his Shakti (force). So by calling Shiva it implies Parvati too. Alternately Shiva means Auspicious. By adding Shiva before Parvati, makes Parvati "Mangala".
