The Pure Creation

At the "top level" as it were ' the source of everything, is the limitless, utterly transcendent Paramshiva who is beyond all human comprehension and basically, unknowable.
Then there's Shiva as he is understood to manifest himself ' the Instrumental Cause of all creation and the one who sets in motion the five fundamental activities which give rise to the world ' Emission, Protection, Reabsorbtion, Concealment, and Grace. This form of Siva is held to have a "body" composed of mantras, which can be visualised, worshipped, and meditated upon.

Shiva-Tattva

Shiva-Tattva is sometimes conceived as the first "outward" movement of Paramshiva. It is sometimes described as the "static" aspect of universal consciousness ' the "support" and root of all things and potentialities in the world.

Shakti-Tattva

Shakti-Tattva is the "activity" of Shiva ' from Her the rest of the Tattvas arise. There is no real seperation between Shiva & Shakti. Shakti (at this level) is said to be "full of bliss" ' sometimes called AnandaShakti.

Will, Knowledge, Action

Related to Shiva-Shakti are the so-called "three corners" ' Icchashakti (primal power of Will ' also referred to as Sadashiva or Sadakhya), Gyanashakti (primal power of knowledge" ' also referred to as Ishvara) and Kriyashakti (primal power of action ' also referred to as Sadvidya)

An individual deluded by Maya consists of Shiva and Shakti under the terms purusha and prakriti. Purusha is the embodied Shiva, prakriti the embodied Shakti. Being deluded by Maya, the three primordial Shaktis of Iccha, Gyana and Kriya take the form of ego (ahankar), intelligence (buddhi) and memory or Association (manas). Incarnated in the five elements of space, fire, air, earth and water, the embodied being has five powers to sense, five powers to act, and five Impressions. These together make the 36 tattvas. It is the delusion of Maya which prevents an individual from realising her or his oneness with Shiva-Shakti and the three primordial Shaktis of Iccha, Gyan and Kriya."

Had experienced this Shiv- Shakti Unity during initial days of DKDM. I was looking for the Shiv tatva's explanation for 3 days but was not happy with the result. Then decided to look for The Shakti tatva & the result was fantastic. Got the detailed info about both Shiv & Shakti tatva together.
Truely without one the other tatva is incompelete.
