Ardhanareswarar means an androgynous form of nature, that of the Supreme being divinity. Lord Siva and Sakthi the united from of masculine and feminine energies. half-male and half-female formed together into one Body. symbolizing the oneness of all beings. this aspect is the fundamental root of Advaitha Philosophy...
The puranas are tremendously explained about this concept of Ardhanariswarar. It is said that Ardhanariswarar is a combination of three words “Ardha means Half Nari means woman Iswara means god” , which put to gather represents a creative and protective union power of the Two Forces.
The legend goes like this the Creator Brahma when he was thinking about the creation in his mind, only appeared male forms he was confused about this so he went to meditation to Lord Siva, and he appeared as Sakthi and Siva in joint form and said to Brahma during the creation I be as sakthi and siva, (I split my self into male and female.) During the destruction we merge and do the action as well as the preservation also to become combined form as ‘Prakriti’ and ‘Purusha’ as one form.. While Prakriti is associate to the creative energy of Nature, Purusha is the conscious, that is the power of Brahman. While Prakriti gives shape to things, Purusha helps manifest them as part of the universal consciousness. So the Lord is ultimate divinity and thus he is beyond any sex. he can be male, female, and even neuter. So Lord existing as Ardhanarishvara.
Vedhantha mahans say that the according to the Vedas the principal of unity in several word existing things- example Agni and Soma, Kumara and Kumari, Pita and Mata, Linga and Alinga , Mehagna and Mehagni, Prana and Aprana, Nara and Nari, Heaven and Earth and so on.
Further more according to the Sankhyobanishat shows about the clear vision between the Prakriti and Purusha, this two aspects that cause the universe to behave in a certain way. the Prakriti is the material cause of this universe, the Purusha is the efficient cause of the universe. more it says that both Prakriti and Purusha are Sat (good and real) and both are Anaadi (without a beginning) and Ananta The Purusha is detached from the material world, hence it is Asanga
The puranas tremendously explains about this concept of Ardhanariswarar. It is said that Ardhanariswarar is a combination of three words “Ardha means Half Nari means woman Iswara means god” , which put to gather represents a creative protective and destruction union power of the Forces.
Siva Purana says that when the creation time the creator Brahma was thinking about the creation in his mind, only appeared male forms he was confused about this so he went for meditation to Lord Siva and he appeared as Sakthi and Siva in joint form and said to Brahma during the creation I be as sakthi and siva, during the destruction we merge and do the action as well as the preservation also to become combined form so ‘Prakriti’ and ‘Purusha’ as two separate forms of Creative Consciousness. While Prakriti is associate to the creative energy of Nature, Purusha is the consciousness that is the power of Brahman. While Prakriti gives shape to things, Purusha helps manifest them as part of the universal supreme power . further the Vedas have perceived this biological unity in several dully existing things- Agni and Soma as 'aprana' and 'saprana'. The matter with life has life but is just the single Egg, (“Andom”) the inseparable aspect of the female, as by itself it is unable to farther the creative process and it is thus only the inactive 'Bhuta'. It is only after the male energy fertilizes it becomes the Egg the life-bearing one.
“Prakriti” means the “primary.” This word is a combination of the two words “Pra,” means – “Before or Prior” and “Kriti”, meaning “to make or create.” The Prakriti is prime force of energy, which has created the entire universe. But, Prakriti cannot create anything by itself without the support of the Purusha.
The Purusha merely plays the role of an activator and cannot create anything by himself. Purusha is not material in nature. It does not depend on anything, nor does anything depend on it. The Purusha is shashvatam (ever present, undying) and nirguna or without qualities. It is omnipresent and goes beyond the boundaries of maya (illusion), buddhi (intellect) and the indriyas (senses). It is beyond time and space and is permanent and immutable. This aspect is unaffected by the effects of the three Gunas or attributes, namely, “,Aham brahmasmi” ... Ardhanarishvara is swaroopa bhavam and Sivalingeswarar is Aroopa bhavam. The name it self is the same “Namaha Sivaayai cha Namasivaya”
Lord is beyond the concept of any sex. So Lord Siva can be male, female, and even neuter. So god existing in this real condition is referred as Ardhanarishvara.
Pruhjjapala upaniashad says
“oortasakthi mayaha soma Adho sakthi mayoanalaha | napyam sambudidhasmat chachcat visvamidham Jagat” ||(5)
“Sivachorttvamayaha Sakthi rordhavam sakthi mayaha Sivaha thaditdham Siva sakthipyam navyapthamihakinchana” ||(9)
Meaning:- Soma (water) is up in the sky the agni (fire) is in down when this two mix together this universe is working constantly.(5)
The upper (sakthi)energy is sivam, that same sivam him self is (sakthi)energy without Sivasakthi there is nothing in this world.(9)
Adi Sankaracharya says, “Maya is the principle of illusion veiling the real Brahman by projecting the non-real world.” Due to the power of Maya, the world appears in plurality or multiplicity though in reality it is non-dual. But Maya is neither real nor unreal;
In conclusion, one may say that Siva and Sakthi are one and the same Supreme.
Poet Kalidasa acclaim them as inseparable -
“vAk arthA viva samprakthau
VAkartha pprathipathayae
Jagatah pithrau vandhe
Parvathi Parameswarau”
The Ardhanarishvara form is constant, which is confirm and the continuity process of the creation, destruction and sustain in this universe.
