Conversation between Parvati & Shiva


* Conversation between Parvati & Shiva *
When Parvati saw her father becoming worried by Shiva's response she decided to intervene. She said to lord Shiva-
"I am 'Prakriti' (Nature) and you are the 'Purusha' (almighty). You exist in the 'Sagun' form (with form) because of me. In my absence, you will find it
impossible even to exist."
Lord Shiva was impressed by her knowledge. He allowed her to be present nearher. Himalaya and Parvati became very pleased.
Parvati used to come daily at the place where lord Shiva was doing his penance.
Her companions too used to come along. She used to engaged herself in the
worship of lord Shiva with great devotion.Though lord Shiva was very much impressed by her devotion, but he decided that he won't marry her until she has proved her mettle by her tremendous penance.
The deities were tormented by a demon named. Tarakasur. They went to lord
Brahma to seek his help. Lord Brahma sends 'Kamadeva' to disturb the
Samadhi of Shiva, so that being influenced by him Shiva married Parvati and
ultimately kills Tarakasur.
This attempt of Brahma was unsuccessful. Shiva 'burnt' Kamadeva with the
help of his third eye. Parvati, then redoubled her effort to attract the attention of
Shiva by engaging herself in a tremendous penance.
