THE QUEEN MOTHER

 

THE QUEEN MOTHER

The Ganas love Parvati as the mother,

calling Her Ma Rani ( mother) or Maharani ( Queen )

It is Her presence which makes Shiva complete.

He is almost always adrift in His exclusive, dreamy world,

She is always grounded to see that the common reality is pleasant for all.

Bhawan Bhawani sahitam namami

there is no worship of Shiva without Parvati.
