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!

May God Shiva bless us all!

Lingam - the erect penis Lingam: Shiva symbolic of the Creative Power of the Universe. By controlling the mundane desires, even the most bestial of beings can rise and conquer the World. Coupled with full zeal and enthusiasm after establishing absolute control over ones sexual urges ... one is able to divert and control all his energies towards a particular goal.

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!
