Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Divine Lingodbhava by Professor N. Kasturi: Until 1956, the Shivaratri all-night vigil and Bhajan could be held in the Prayer Hall itself. Baba sat on the silver chair placed on over a tiger skin on a low platform. When the slower hand of the clock hovered near eight, the Linga or Lingas indicated the desire to emerge and Baba showed signs of physical struggle to smoothen their way out. Year after year, 1 have stood on His left, holding silver jug of water. Seshagiri Rao stood on the right with a silver plate to receive the Linga as it fell out. At predetermined moments, proceeding through the gullet, the Linga presented itself for public view and personal use. One year eleven Lingas emerged in a row, one behind the other. Another year, there were nine. He has given Me one of the nine. It is worshipped with Mantras prescribed in the scriptures. The Linga miracle does happen annually on every Shivaratri day wherever Baba happens to be. Prof Kasturi, Sanathana Sarathi , March'1999, Page 81) Bhagawan : Meaning Of The Lingam: Just as OM is the 'sound symbol' of God, the Linga is 'form symbol' or visible symbol of God - the most meaningful, the simplest and the least endowed with appendages of attributes. The Linga means, that in which this Jagat (world of change) attains Laya or mergence or dissolution (Leeyate). All forms merge in the Formless at last. Shiva is the Principle of Destruction of all names and forms, of all entities and individuals. So, the Linga is the simplest sign of emergence and mergence.†(Sai Baba, SS, 3/99, last cover page) Different Types Of Lingams Hiranyagarbha / Hiranya-Garbha Linga Sada-Shiva Lingam Netra-Lingham Narmada or Narmadeshwar Lingum Jyotir-Linga Jnana-Lingam Atma Lingham Angushta-Maatram Lingum Anda-Pinda Linga Aahtaloha Lingam Vaidurya Lingham Spatika Lingum Padara Linga Trapu Lingam Ayasa Lingham Seesa Lingum Ashtadhtu Linga Navanita Lingam Durvakadaja Or Garika Lingham Karpura Lingum Ayaskanta Linga Mouktika Lingam Suvarana Lingham Rajita Lingum Pittala Or Kamsya Linga Bhamsa Lingam Guda Lingam Or Sita Lingham Vamsankura Lingum Pishta Linga Dhadhidhugdha Lingam Dhanya Lingham Phala Lingum Dhatri Linga Gandha Lingam Pushpa Lingham Gosakru Lingum Valuka Linga Yavagodhumasalij Lingam Sitakhanda Lingham Lavana Lingum Tilapista Linga Netra-Lingam Bana Lingham Somnath Jyotirlinga Bhoomi Lingum Jala Linga Agni or Thejo Lingam Vayu Lingham Akasha Lingum Yajamana Linga Chandra Lingam Surya Lingham Sthira Lingum Ardhanarishwara Linga Chaturmukhalingam Amarnath Lingham Twelve jyotirlingas are: Somnatha Mallikarjuna Mahakala Omkara Kedara Bhimshankara Vishvanatha Tryambaka Vaidynatha Nagesha Rameswara Ghushnesha Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
