Hindu spirituality - What is the nature of existence and the experience of the "one"?

that is obtained or formed by the union of the Shiva and the Parvati or the God and the Goddess or the Mahadev and the Mahadevi?

Update:

Four square, thanks for providing your insight about the topic,

i think, you are quite right from Hindu point of view.

Monk, Thanks for providing Buddhist view about the ultimate experience. I think, you are quite right about the experience of the "one" through the way of the meditation.

Update 2:

I think, there is still a lot of that can be said about this topic.

There are no thumbs down from my side.

Update 3:

Indian P, thanks for making us aware of the source of true love.

    Question belongs to Tantra branch of Hindu spirituality. Otherwise the Hindu idea of transcendental non-dualism of existence is the domain of another branch of Hindu spirituality in which pure conscious self, and not any God, is the ultimate reality. But the ultimate ontology of the "one" in both would be same: infinite, formless, pure awareness, bliss, unbounded and such. There are sects, particularly one in Kashmir, which combine Tantra with Advaita.

    Dr. pushipinder k,

    The two aspect of existence are the ever changing relative field which exists in existence and the none changing absolute field of existence.

    The experience of the one is not an experience per/say because mind, body and consciousness cannot go there, but awareness can. In deep mediation awareness transcends the relative entering the absolute field of existence. When awareness returns it brings the qualities of love, contentment and fulfillment to the mind and heart. Those are the nature of existence and are played out in one’s life.

    Take a look/see.

    First of all m very proud to b a hindu.. Second thing, shiv parvati milan or ekatva is d most sacred,pure and pious form of love...it is devoid of lust.. Just purity involved.. Shiv is also called ardhnarishwar which means how to embody ur life partner in u physically,mentally, and emotionally.. It shows all ur love,dedication, commitment to ur man/woman.. Shiv parvati milan is the bestest of best form of deep, true love.. Hope m rite..

    Balaji seems to be confused. If you want more insight into Hinduism and I know its lame but read the idiots guide to Hinduism. It contains a lot of information on experiencing the one.

    The nature of such existence is as that of sacredness, purity, and holiness; and its experience is equivalent to that of paitence and courage; both together.
