Union Energy of Shiva and Shakti

According to Shaivism, one of the major branches of yogic philosophy, there is divine masculine energy that takes the form of the Hindu god, Shiva, and divine feminine energy that takes the form of the goddess, Shakti. Both Shiva and Shakti are alive in both men and women. All of us have divine masculine (Shiva) aspects and divine feminine (Shakti) aspects to our being.
