Ardhanariswara Stotra Lyrics in English Script

 Ardhanariswara stotra Sumanjali in English script


Ardhanariswara stotra belong to Lord Shiva and his beloved wife Parvathi  - Lord Shiva who has his Devi Shakti also as exact half of his body.Though Shiva is illustrated  mostly as the fearsome God with Trishula and the third eye, though he is depicted as the lord of destruction, Ardhanriswara concept shows how the lord of destruction is also the lord of love and affection.The concept of Ardhanariswara shows us that man and woman union is the one which produces life in this world. There is a bit of male in woman and a bit of female in the man. When both come together, life gets created. Without the female Shakthi, the male Shiva does not do anything. It remains as it is. The power of Shiva starts working only in the presence of, in the union of Shakthi. In Indian culture we find this concept how equal man and woman are equal.
