Shiva/Shakti;Purusha/Prakriti
Are Shiva/Shakti exactly the same as Purusha/Prakriti? Or are there philosophical and historical differences between the two pairs?

Shiva /Shakti and Purusha/ Prakriti the same?
My understanding is that on the ultimate level there is only One, any duality is due to the modifications of the mind.
Shiva /Shakti and Purusha /Prakriti are refined and modified, emphasising different expressions of this one energy as it appears to manifest, neither can express the totality due to the limitations and inherant duality of language. |
