	As '''Parvati''' (“Daughter of the Mountain”), daughter of the god Himalaya, she is the beneficent, gentle mother and wife. Her union with Shiva is a prototype of the ideal marriage. A beautiful, gracious woman, she is often depicted with Shiva in domestic scenes or seated beside him in discourse. Shiva and Parvati are sometimes portrayed with their son Skandha. Skandha is also known as [[Karttikeya]], the god of war, and is identified in one Upanishad with the sage-god whom we call [[Sanat Kumara]].

			Lord [[Shiva]] is the incarnation of the [[Holy Spirit]], the Lord of Love whose whirling cosmic dance dispels ignorance and the forces of anti-Love. Shiva’s action is crystallized in the world of form through his [[Shakti]], or feminine counterpart, who appears in various forms.

			As '''Parvati''' (“Daughter of the Mountain”), daughter of the god Himalaya, she is the beneficent, gentle mother and wife. Her union with Shiva is a prototype of the ideal marriage. A beautiful, gracious woman, she is often depicted with Shiva in domestic scenes or seated beside him in discourse. Shiva and Parvati are sometimes portrayed with their son Skandha. Skandha is also known as [[Karttikeya]], the god of war, and is identified in one Upanishad with the sage-god whom we call [[Sanat Kumara]].

			According to Hindu mythology, when the lovely Parvati was unable to win Shiva’s love, she set aside her jewels, donned the garb of a hermit and retreated to a mountain to meditate upon Shiva and practice austerities. After she embraced the life of a renunciate for some time, Shiva finally accepted her as his wife.

			Hindus believe that Shiva lives on the summit of Mount Kailas. He is pictured there both as a solitary ascetic and with his Shakti, Parvati. John Snelling, in his book ''The Sacred Mountain'', recounts how Parvati contributed to the origin of Shiva’s [[third eye]]:

			<blockquote>Legend describes [Parvati] playfully covering her Lord’s eyes as he sat in meditation on a peak of Himalaya. Instantly all light and life were extinguished in the universe until, out of compassion for all beings, the god opened his third eye, which blazed like a new sun. So intense was its blazing that it scorched the mountains and forests of [the Himalayas] to oblivion. Only when he saw that the daughter of the mountain was properly contrite did he relent and restore her father [who is the mountain] to his former estate.<ref>John Snelling, ''The Sacred Mountain'', rev. and enl. ed. (London: East-West Publications, 1990), p. 11.</ref></blockquote>

			This legend shows Shiva as the Destroyer. The opening of his third eye represents the opening of the eye of knowledge that destroys ignorance. Swami Karapatri explains:

			<blockquote>The frontal eye, the eye of fire, is the eye of higher perception. It looks mainly inward. When directed outward, it burns all that appears before it. It is from a glance of this third eye that ... the gods and all created beings are destroyed at each of the periodical destructions of the universe.<ref>Swami Karapatri, “Sri Siva tattva,” ''Siddhanta'', II, 1941–42, 116, quoted in Alain Danielou, ''The Gods of India: Hindu Polytheism'' (New York: Inner Traditions International, 1985), p. 214.</ref></blockquote>
