La alabanza al señor Siva
Worshiping Lord Siva
People go to Lord Shiva temples and find Shiva Lingam inside. The Shiva Lingam is symbolic. The word LINGA means "symbol". ALINGATTVA LINGASYA PRAMANAM: the formless state is represented through this apparent from of Lingam. ALINGATTVA means "beyond any symbol or symbolism "----beyond any identification. Since it is a symbol, it means to be beyond the symbol. Although it also appears like a form, it speaks of the formless state. How can one be in this formless state of Divinity? In the formless state of divine experience one is liberated, and this is what is represented in the SHIVA LINGAM.
In the Shiva Lingam there is both PRAKRITI and PURUSHA together. There is Gouri Patta and Shiva Lingam together. The Base is Prakriti and the upper , elevated part is Purusha. Both are present and united together. This creation is union of Prakriti and Purusha. The life of the human body is the union of the body and soul. No creation is possible without this unity. Life manifests through the union of the father and mother. The symbolism of the Shiva Lingam is to be aware of the union of the Prakriti and Purusha ,and to perceive this union in the creation and also in one's life. People worship Shiva Lingam , and pray. But if they meditate and contemplate on its real significance , then their meditation will be deep and elaborate.
