The Shivalinga inspires us to perceive and realize the truth that service of the world encompasses all living beings, and in such service lies the path to salvation.This is the essence of Shivalinga worship. The word “Shivalinga” is composed of two words, Shiva and Linga.One of the meanings of the word ‘Shiva’ is Auspiciousness. Whoever worships the Shivalinga with an understanding of its true meaning and knowledge of its principles, will be blessed. The word ‘Linga’ also refers to that in which everything ultimately dissolves or merges.So Shivalinga means to understand the concept of Cosomic Consciousness. |
