Hinduism, especially of the Samkhya school, views the creation of the cosmos as the result of the play of two radically distinct principles: the feminine matter (Prakriti) and the masculine spirit (Purusha).
In 1999 he assaulted forest officer Prakriti Srivastava and in 2000 assaulted IAS and Chief Electoral Officer of Kerala Nalini Netto.
Instead of spirit (Purusha) and nature (Prakriti), Kashmir Shaivism has five pure tattvas representing the Ultimate Reality and then six more representing the occultation process (maya) which translates the non-dual pure reality to time and space limited world and its subjects.
Hindu philosophy has the concept of a third sex or third gender (tritiya-prakriti – literally, "third nature").
