Shivling is a Pillar of Conscious Energy
A Thread ЁЯз╡
It is not a phallic symbol, as falsely claimed in colonial or agenda-driven interpretations.
Instead, it is the infinite cosmic axis тАУ symbolizing formless Shiva and creative Shakti in unified stillness.
The word Shivling = Shiva (Consciousness) + Linga (Symbol / Form)
тЪЬя╕П1. Shivling represents:
Creation (Brahma)
Preservation (Vishnu)
Dissolution (Shiva)
All rooted in pure Consciousness (Shiva) and expressed through Energy (Shakti).
The Shivling is not man-made тАФ it is Cosmic Geometry, the divine Shiv-Shakti union that births all life.
