“The marriage of Parvati and Shiva symbolizes the wholeness that we and all things are made of. It is the union of inner and outer, the holy and mundane, mind and heart, spirit and body, of the limitless vastness of Divine essence and the world of form. In their mythology, we see that it is Parvati, the feminine, who takes leadership in bringing this wisdom into our world.
Parvati is a profound mirror of the very essence of the Yogini, of standing for our deepest truth no matter what, of committing to our spiritual path not as a hobby on weekends, but as an essential piece of the evolution of our world. No one gave her permission: she had to stand, sometimes utterly alone, rooted in her vision of wholeness.” – Chameli Ardagh
