The Shaivites remind: each husband is Shiva, each wife a Shakti,such is the beauty of Shiva's boon to marriage. Parvati, learning from her peers, and also from the depth of her own heart ,is responsible for giving us the perfect ways of worshiping Shivji. Such was her prowess that when the Saptrishis decided to test her spiritual knowledge in general and about Shiva in particular, they landed up learning from her, and virtually acknowledging her as Jag janani, Mother of all! We are all indebted to the Great Devi Ma. Of course, this painting can be any great Bhaktin or Yogini. ( we see an image of Ganeshji already present) but the idea is that the spirit of service, bhakti, and worship, is that of Parvati herself.So too, every Husband must emulate Shiva Shanker and imbibe Shivaness in His own Self. Aum Namah Shivaye.
