Shivoham Lord Shiva and His Consort Shakti the world mother, together are Ardhanarishvara and represent the synthesis of the masculine and feminine energies of the universe (Purusha and Prakriti) and illustrates how the female principle of God, Shakti, is inseparable from Shiva, the male principle of God.
