RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS SHIVALINGA

Another very popular but often misunderstood icon is the symbol of Lord Shiva which is called “Shivalinga”. Some Hindu sects believe that Lord Shiva fulfils two roles: he is benefactor and he is destroyer. The energy (Shakti) with which he performs these functions is like fire: fire can destroy but it is also essential for sustaining life. This omnipotent power of God which creates, preserves and destroys is represented by a flame of fire. In the Vedic period, this sacred flame was kindled in a havan kund. Later, in Puranic period, the symbolic flame was represented by Shivalinga. The base of the Shivalinga is called Brahmabha, representing the creator Brahma; the octagonal middle part is called Vishnubhaga, representing the preserver, Vishnu; and the projecting flame-like cylindrical part is called Rudrabhaga. Shivalinga is usually made of black stone. The pouring of milk on the Shivalinga is meant to be the same as the pouring of ghee on the sacred flames of a havan yajna. Both these acts represent selfless action. Scientifically pouring of milk on the Shivalinga is done because it avoids generating cracks in the black stone of Shivalinga.
