"The story of Shiva's marriage is symbolic of the perfect fusion of male and female principles. According to the Hindu views of life, they are the moving powers behind the Universe. Shiva (the male principle), the Supreme Consciousness, will acquire the power to create and destroy the elements only in conjunction with Shakti (the female principle). It is because of this that Vishnu and the rest were keen to see Shiva married. Though the word Shiva rarely occurs in the Veda (it appears in the Jajurveda) there are adequate references to show Rudra (another name of Shiva) as the Supreme Consciousness. The Kenopanishad mentions Uma as the Maya or the Manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness. The story of Sati conveys to us in simple terms, the truth and beauty of a lofty Vedic concept. "
