Lingam |
Tantric Shiva Lingams are sacred to the Hindu tradition and are ceremoniously gathered once a year from the muddy banks of the Narmada River, one of the seven sacred places of pilgrimage in India. These are naturally formed of a mineral called cryptocrystalline quartz with iron oxide deposits said to have been implanted in the riverbed by a meteorite millions of years ago. Hindus worship lingams in Shiva temples as a representation of the lord. In the Tantric tradition, the shape embodies masculine energy, dynamic expression, and knowledge. The markings called “Yoni” depicts feminine energy, wisdom, and intuition. Together, the female energy arouses the masculine urge to create. The mineral composition and the shape make the stones unique as objects for mediation. They are said to contain the loftiest vibration of all stones on earth.
