Why Did Shiva Become Half-Woman?

Sadhguru narrates the story of Bhrigu, one of Shiva’s direct disciples and a great devotee, for whom Shiva became Ardhanari or half-man, half-woman. Sadhguru also explains the significance of nurturing the masculine and feminine equally within oneself to become a full-fledged life, and to know the ultimate nature of existence.
