Shiva
Lingam
In
physical terms lingam denotes an erect penis. Shiva lingam is the most worshipped
entity in Hinduism religion. We find Shiva temples having a Shiva lingam installed
in them at every nook and corner of India nay world. Why? Shiva...
a part of Hindu trinity represents the most powerful attribute of God Almighty
(amongst all three entities). The first being Brahma... the creator! The second
being Vishnu the maintainer (preserver) and the last being Mahesh (Shiva)... the
destroyer! And why
is the entity of Shiva considered most powerful? Simply, he who finally makes
the system go round is Shiva. Brahma creates and Vishnu maintains the creation
but unless and until Shiva destroys one who is born... every entity would grow
limitless. Based upon
theory of Karma... when the time comes... it is Shiva who snuffs out life! For
maintaining a balance in the system so that there can be a new beginning... a
new start! Unless the decaying body withers and dies... a new life can never germinate. To
maintain balance in whole cosmos is responsibility of Shiva. And why is so much
significance attached to shiva lingam that people worship it? The
reasons are absolutely clear... everyone fears untimely death! To ward the evil
effects of death people worship Shiva Lingam with total submission. It is faith
in the power of Shiva that people pay their obeisance to the shiva lingam.
Shiva Lingam also denotes the power of Lingam. It is symbolic of the creative
power of cosmos. It is Lingam that creates life on Mother Earth as God meant it
to be. Properly harnessed...
this power can be transmuted into pure creative energy. It is this power when
subdued wisely... leads to Awakening of the Kundalini in human beings and man
in particular. The awakening of Kundalini never occurs otherwise!
It is awakening of the Kundalini that finally results in one becoming enlightened...
reaching the stage of Mahavira,
Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ or Prophet
Mohammed! It is the power of lingam and lingam alone that leads one
towards unbridled power in the spiritual domain. All
the saints and Rishis' of the yester era who reached the stage of enlightenment
initially controlled and redirected this power of lingam. In the spiritual domain
unless one controls and transmutes this power of lingam nothing worthwhile is
achieved.
It is
for this reason so much importance has been attached to lingam and Shiva being
the highest entity amongst all gods in Hinduism... masses go to Shiva temples
and offer their prayers.
On this note it is specifically mentioned that ladies very punctually offer their
prayers in Shiva temples. Why? The prime reason... they ask for the blessings
of Shiva for getting a good partner in life... an ideal husband! No wonder many
wishes get fulfilled. In
the spiritual world... most offerings are symbolic in nature. One needs to dive
deep into the ocean of spiritual wisdom... if we are to gather the pearls!
Prayers
must never be offered as a ritual. We must first understand the significance of
prayers being offered... it is only then our prayers get accepted. Mere chanting
of prayers lead to a dead-end. It is a worth less journey that leads nowhere.
Remember, it is the power of lingam that made Bill Clinton (a powerful president
of USA) fall from grace. Had he transmuted the creative powers to more appropriate
channels... Bill Clinton may have been the President of the United States for
a third term. One of
the mighty Rishi of the yester era Sage Vishwamitra fell from grace on seeing
the sight of a beautiful lady taking bath in a forlorn jungle. He could not contain
himself and lost precious years of his tapasya... the austerities practiced! He
conducted all over from the beginning... a waste of precious time in the journey
of life!
Shiva
does not forgive... there is no backtracking in the domain of Shiva. If we indulge...
we shall repent in the end. John F. Kennedy let loose his sensual side... he paid
dearly by loosing his life (His association with marilyn monroe was not liked
by many). In the spiritual
domain... the power of lingam is the foremost! Those who transmute this creative
energy to more useful uses are the ones who become the guiding pillars of the
society. May God bless all those who do not suppress this power of lingam physically
but transmute it to more creative uses! Be
it siva linga history, lingam massage, lingam worship amarnath all about shiva
shivalinga worship, shivapurana attributes of shiva, legends associated with siva
chakras sensual... everything bogs down to... whether or not we understand what
shiva lingam truly means in our life time! May
God Shiva bless us all!

Swarga - Heaven
One reaps the fruits
of Karma in this or after many manifestations. Still, one can pray and atone for
all sins in the present life! Why not earn the Grace of God and even while living
in a swarga of your own making try to proceed on the path of Self Realization!

Shiva
Lingam The
power of lingam is the most glorious occurrence created by god in its vast array
of creation. Without progeny all would have become dead long ago. The perpetuating
theory of evolution kept the system going. What a foolproof system created by
God Almighty.

Practicing Celibacy
Practice of celibacy
is always voluntary. Those who advocate practice of involuntary celibacy have
not clearly understood the meaning of celibacy. The Definition celibacy best defined
in hinduism is, "trying to attain absolute purity of thought while dwelling
in the domain of the spirituality all the while keeping sexual indulgences under
absolute wraps".

Kundalini Yoga- kundalini
awakening Let
me make it clear that Adam did not commit a mistake. It was all destined by God
and for the perpetuation of life itself... that sacred union with Eve was planned
by God. It was not a sin but Acharya Rajneesh and Sage Vishwamitra indulged in
a practice which was not called for. They paid for their sins. Sage Vishwamitra
had to repeat the spiritual journey all over again and for Acharya Rajneesh...
it is the case of a next manifestation! | |
