എന്താണ് ശിവലിംഗം ? | What is Shiva Lingam ? | Significance of Shivalinga | Mystic Secrets

Описание: A lingam, sometimes referred to as linga or Shiva linga, is an abstract or aniconic representation of the Hindu deity Shiva in Shaivism. It is typically the primary murti or devotional image in Hindu temples dedicated to Shiva, also found in smaller shrines, or as self-manifested natural objects.

Jyotirlingas are unique representations of Lord Shiva. Jyoti means ‘light’ and linga means ‘mark, a sign’. Jyotirlinga means the ‘Radiant sign of Lord Shiva’.

In Shaivite temples the lingam is often at the centre, surrounded by murtis (sacred images of deities). In contrast to the latter, the lingam is distinctively aniconic. It is a smooth cylindrical mass. Often it rests in the centre of a lipped, disk-shaped object, the yoni, which is an emblem of the goddess Shakti. Ancient Sanskrit texts such as the Mahabharata and the Puranas relate narratives that identify the lingam as the phallus of Shiva. Practicing Hindus consider the lingam and yoni together to symbolize the union of the male and female principles and the totality of all existence.
