Dvija: The Divine Twins

Who is Dvija?

Dvija is a term used in Hinduism to refer to the divine twins, Shiva and Vishnu, who are considered to be the embodiment of the ultimate reality.

The term Dvija is derived from the Sanskrit word "dvija", which means "twofold" or "two-formed". This refers to the dual nature of the divine twins, who are both distinct and yet identical.

Dvija is considered to be the ultimate reality, beyond which all duality and distinction disappear.

In Hindu mythology, Dvija is often depicted as the two halves of the universe, with Shiva representing the destructive and transformative power of dissolution, and Vishnu representing the creative and preservative power of preservation.
