A fascinating story - full of humor and wisdom. Parvati, a manifestation of Durga, wanted to marry Shiva. But Shiva just wanted to meditate in solitude. Parvati tried out many ways to get the attention of Shiva - including flower arrows by Kamadeva, the God of Love. She did intense tapas, including fasting. Then she had to withstand some tests and temptation. In the end the divine couple Shiva and Parvati got united. This ancient story is narrated by Dr. Nalini Sahay, yoga master from Delhi, disciple of Swami Satyananda. Dr. Nalini teaches yoga and meditation seminars and trainings in Germany.
