Can ı have detailed info about Shiva Linga? is it a shape or one piece stone or what ?

Answer 1

Some idiots translate "Linga" as penis which is Wrong and this myth is spread by missionaries and muslims

The Linga has different meanings - shapeless, without organs, long drum like, etc

penis is called linga by some people due to its shape...the actual world for penis is "Shishna"

Shiva Linga here means, Shiva without form... it is like when we die our soul is called "Linga Sharira" now we never mean that after death we become Penis ??

Shiva being worshipped as Linga means the Consciousness in its primodal form...where Consciousness is entering into the Eternal Energy (Shakti).

Thus shivalinga is the state of god, just before the manifestation of Universe, a little before bag bang.

Shiva is worshipped as Linga...because that is the highest of all manifested gods, formless, attributeless.... simple Consciousness and Energy (shiva and shakti)

Answer 2

To me, this symbol is first-and-foremost a phallic symbol. It is primal, energetic, and yet it is yielding. It receives the offerings of water, milk, etc., which flow down to the ground by means of the yonic (vaginal) plate from which it emerges. It is the ultimate symbol for Shiva, because it embodies His masculine and feminine characteristics, while at the same time being formless, because Shiva, like Kali, represents black space.

This website in general has excellent articles on Hinduism and Buddhism, with an emphasis upon the material culture of these faiths. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

It is a single piece black stone shape.
A Billion Hindoos rightly believe that Kaaba was originally a SHIVA LINGA ( Phallus of Lord Shiva.)before Islam . The Neo Muslims tried to destroy it in the 7th Century, but when they failed , they adopted it as their own Kaaba..
The Muslim attire of a white unstitched cloth worn while doing the rounds of this so called kaaba is identical to the attire which Hindoos wear while doing religious Pradakshina of Shiva linga in their temples.
A tragedy of Islamic teachings against Idol worship, that they have to worship this Hindoo God in Hindoo manner & to extoll it. Jay Bum Bhole naath !!
