ॐ नमः शिवाय। हर हर महादेव॥ त्वं अर्धं त्वं अर्धं प्रकृतिपुरुषस्त्वं च जगतां। अधीशः शम्भो त्वय्ययमखिलं दृश्यशशिनः॥ [Tvaṁ ardhaṁ tvaṁ ardhaṁ prakṛtipuruṣastvaṁ ca jagatāṁ Adhīśaḥ śambho tvayyayamakhilaṁ dṛśyaśaśinaḥ || O Śambhu! You are half masculine (Śiva) and half feminine (Śakti), the union of Purusha and Prakṛti. You are the Supreme Lord of the cosmos, encompassing the entire manifest and unmanifest universe. (Even Śiva Himself remains incomplete without Śakti, for Ardhanārīśvara represents the balance of creation and sustenance.)] ~ Śiva-Mahimna Stotra (Verse on Ardhanārīśvara) शुभ महाशिवरात्रि॥ शुभास्तु महाशिवरात्रि:॥ Shubh Maha Shivarātri !!
