My wife asked me the reason behind Brahma giving a place in his mouth for saraswathi, Vishnu giving a place in his heart for Lakshmi, and Lord siva giving equal half of his body for Parvathi.
We all know the role of Trimuthis in the Universe. Life begins from Brahma, problems begin from mouth. The moment you open the mouth for an argument with your wife, you are sure to lose it, because your tongue is her residence (It’s always difficult to win an opponent in their territory). Vishnu is the protector of life. To protect anything, you need to show love/care towards it. Loving/caring is the character of heart. The moment you marry a woman, it becomes your responsibility to protect her, love her and care for her. Siva is the symbol of destruction. Marriage is the process of uniting two souls. It’s impossible for a single soul to reside in two different bodies, so the arthanatheeswara (siva-sakthi equal halves) is to personify that souls are united by sharing the body, and when the soul is disturbed (destructed), we disturb not just one person, but both the united souls. The positioning of the Goddess is to symbolize the above said.
So I gave this explanation in the way I understood spirituality. By now obviously you guys would have guessed on what will be her next question. “Now where have you placed me?” I said “on my head”. Baffled with my reply, she asked me for the reason. I said “Very simple, It’s Human nature to carry the entire problem in their head”, and the argument began. :):)
