“ShivaLingam , The symbol of Shiva that is The Divine Awareness, The Bliss, Sat-Chit-Ananda, Chaitanya, Moksha, Super-Soul, Supreme Consciousness. Within the ShivaLingam lays all the knowledge of the universe. It is a source of divine energy. The Lingam is a limitless and endless pillar symbolising the infinite Shiva. Shiva being worshiped as Lingam means the Consciousness in its primordial form. ShivaLingam is the state of God, just before the manifestation of Universe. ‪Shiva is worshipped as Linga because that is the highest of all manifested gods, formless, attribute less, simple Consciousness and Energy, ShivaShakti! ShivaLingam is a symbol of love. It opens our way towards true love which brings unity. The true love relationship is a relationship with our own being. When we possess love we experience God. It is necessary to be in love and peace with oneself so that one can be able to love others without fear. The feeling of one’s own esteem, dignity, and self-respect opens the possibility to feeling selfless love towards others.”
