Uma
(Goddesss Parvati the consort of Lord Shiva) and Lord Shiva puja
are considered to be the perfect match i.e. Shiv and Shakti. This
puja is considered to be best for marital happiness. If there is
any discord in the relationship, all are resolved by Gauri Shanker
Sadhna. Lord Shiva represents the aspect of the Supreme Being and
is considered to be the destroyer of evil and sorrow. Shiva is 'tri
netra' or three eyed, and is 'neela kantha' - blue necked. Shiva
- Nataraja is the Divine Cosmic Dancer. Shiva - Ardhanareeswara
is both man and woman. Shiva is both static and dynamic and is both
creator and destroyer. He is the source of fertility in all living
beings. He has gentle as well as fierce forms. Lord Shiva is the
Lord of mercy and compassion. He protects devotees from evil forces
such as lust, greed, and anger. He grants boons, bestows grace and
awakens wisdom in His devotees. Shiva is inseparable from Shakti
- Parvati the daughter of Himavaan - Haimavati. There is no Shiva
without Shakti and no Shakti without Shiva, the two are one - or
the absolute state of being - consciousness and bliss.
