Indian mythology has always intrigued me. Though I must confess, I have never made a conscious effort to know mythology that deep….But I do like to sit down and listen or occasionally read about the majestic ways of our gods and goddesses.
I often wonder what a perfect match would be like. Well , to each his own, it really is a very opinionated and individualistic topic. For me, the answer lies in mythology. With a culture so rich, where could you better find a tale of togetherness?
I have always felt an affinity towards people with aggression that can be positively channeled to empower them.
When you speak of power and aggression, all attributes of Lord shiva come to my mind:- 'third eye' of destruction, trishul, Tandava(dance of creation and destruction). I am quite spellbound.. On the other hand you have Parvati who is a Sati incarnate..and a gentle aspect of Shakti. Another one of her names is “Sahana” or pure.
Together Shiva and Parvati are molded into each other to become a supreme Power. That is what they call Ardhanarishwari. Parvati when grown into a young woman after her reincarnation from Sati ,always knew her love for lord Shiva and after years of tapas , Shiva grants her wish…
Thereafter marriage and many other enticing tales begin..
Although a myth, one may find streaks of this tale in their own lives..where aggression and gentle power of silence come together ..quite miraculously..
I would like to write more about their stories after marriage, but I never write something I cant relate to.. So far , we’ll settle with ‘having found the perfect match’.

I dont think I can agree with you when you say aggression...but I agree with you (and atleast thats the case with me) that I looked for some one who had a different line of thinking and outlook than mine.
Dont know about cosmic relations but without this difference I think life would become very boring!
Agreed. It's the difference in the outlook that spells fun in relations. Though diff perspective at times is good, but it should be balanced with having the same line of thought too, a blend always works well
