In continuation, as a clarification, Prakriti is always available with and to iswara for deployment in any way He deems fit. I am not sure what exactly you mean by ** exists in Ishwara **.

praNAms Sri ChandramouLi prabhuji
Hare Krishna

Exists in Ishwara means mAyA is his own svarUpa, mama svarUpa mAya declares Lord.  This means mAyA is ananya from brahman.  This ananyatvaM only describes the sarvAtmabhAva, samyaK drushti.  sA shaktiH brahmaiva ahaM shakti shaktimatOH ananyatvAt..says Lord in geeta.  It is in this sense I have said prakruti is eternally existing in Ishwara, before creation and after pralaya in avyAkruta rUpa and during sthiti in vyAkruta rUpa.  Like veda-s having pravAha nityatva, prakruti too having pariNAmi nityatva in Ishwara / brahman.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
