Says Shiva in an ancient Puranic story, “Adyashakti (Primordial energy) is incomplete without me, and I am like a corpse without her.” Shiva also goes by many other names: Paratpara Shiva (Beyond attributes-Gunas), Ardhanareshwar (Half male-half female), Sarvavyapi (He is everywhere), Antartyami (Inner witness), and Trikaldarshi (Omniscient).
