Sometimes the Lord is depicted as Red and Maya as Blue or vice- versa. Indicating that they are one. Like the power of singing resides in the singer and whenever the singer wants, can invoke the power and utilise. Power to create, sustain and destroy resides in the Lord and the Lord manifests it whenever required. They both are one. It is not that Purusha is higher and Prakriti is lower. Same way the Power of singing remains in the Singer. Ofcourse

the power to sing resides in the singer and is dependent on the Singer but the Singer can remain without singing.

This name is also praised in the Vedas as \u0926\u094d\u0930\u093e\u092a\u0947 \u0905\u0928\u094d\u0927\u0936\u0938\u094d\u092a\u0924\u0947 \u0926\u0930\u093f\u0926\u094d\u0930\u0902 \u0928\u0940\u0932\u0932\u094b\u0939\u093f\u0924 dr\u0101p\u0113 andha\u1e61aspat\u0113 daridra\u1e43 n\u012blal\u014dhita. Rudram Anuvak 10 Nilalohita: One whose half body is male and half female \u2013Ardhanareeshwara.

Brahmaji created the 3 worlds and He created the 4 Sanatkumars from his mind and they were dispassionate. So they did not want to take forward the creation. Brahmaji prays to Lord Shiva to help
him to take creation forward. Shiva appears in front of Brahmaji in the Ardhanareeshwara Rupa. Brahmaji requests the Lord and His Shakti to split into two. They do so. 11 Rudras and 11 Rudranis
are born from the Lord and His Shakti respectively. They take forth the creation. Brahmaji gives 11 abodes to them. They are our 10 senses and our Subtle Body \u2013 Mind.

Symbolism of the story is \u2013 When creation has to be taken forward, both Purusha and Prakriti are required. Any one of them alone cannot do it. All Jivas / All of us are born from Purusha & Prakriti who are Neela-Lohita. Hence we are also Neela-Lohita, Blue-Red in color \u2013 Purusha-Prakriti combination. We are identified with Prakriti today. Sadhana is to detach and discover Purusha in us. Neela-Lohita indicates to us our True Nature as Purusha and we must reclaim it.
