Ardhnarishwar Puja

Ardhnarishwar Puja

Ardhnarishwar means the God who is half woman. This form of Lord Shiva symbolizes the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti. The Ardhnarishwar form is depicted as half Lord Shiva and half Goddess Shakti split down the middle. The right half is Lord Shiva whereas the left half is Goddess Shakti. This form of Lord Shiva conveys that He and Goddess Shakti are one. There can be no Lord Shiva without Goddess Shakti and no Goddess Shakti without Lord Shiva. Ardhnarishwar represents the synthesis of male and female energies of the Universe. 

Ardhnarishwar form of Lord Shiva symbolizes the two-fold nature of the universe and that creation is possible and complete only with the oneness of the duality. As per the Lingam Purana, worshipping the Ardhnarishwar form of Lord Shiva leads to salvation and oneness with Lord Shiva. Reciting the Ardhanarishvara stotram is beneficial as well.

Significance Ardhanareeswara Stotram

The Ardhanareeswara Stotra written by Sri Adi Shankaracharya describes the oneness of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. He is incomplete without Her and vice versa. Since this stotra shows the masculine and feminine form of Lord Shiva, it holds great significance and it can be chanted to receive blessings of God and have a happy life. It highlights the importance and dependency of every living being in nature and denotes a universal contradiction.
