Not only Shakti is responsible for creation, it is also the agent of all changes. Shakti is cosmic existence as well as liberation, its most significant form being the Kundalini Shakti, a mysterious psycho-spiritual force. Shakti exists in a state of svaatantreeya, dependence on no one, being interdependent with the entire universe. In Puraanas, for story sake, Shakti is denoted as consort of Shiva and again she is mentioned as sister of Vishnu. But, in the Shankaranaaraayana form the left part of Shiva is Naraayana. Again in the form of Ardhanaareeshvara the left part of Shiva is Shakti. That means Shakti and Vishnu are one and the same. Hence in the Shiva-Shakti united form Vishnu also joining them, there is only one form. The difference in forms are all human created for convenience. All are one.
