Recently we had a new work of art commissioned, painted by Kailas Raj in India. After nearly a year of careful correspondence to adjust and perfect small aspects of this painting, it is finally complete. While our temples and shrines are replete with images of Siva, Ganesha and Muruga, another important image is that of Ardhanarishvara. In our tradition Siva and Shakti are not seen as male and female but rather as a one divine being, and in no other form is that more evident as in Ardhanarishvara whose right half is masculine and left half is feminine. This piece of art was created as something that devotees of the aadheenam could use for their shrine rooms at home, and soon it will be made into prints for just that. We'll keep you posted as to when they become available through the Minimela. Aum Namah Sivaya.
