Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted August 19, 2000 Very briefly the Shivalinga represents the cosmic masculine principle of material creation and Durga represents the cosmic feminine principle. The joing of the two leads to the manifestation of the material world. When Maha Vishnu glances at the material nature, the glance takes the form of a halo of light known as Shambu. This is one form of Lord Shiva before the creation. Within this halo of light are the unlimited living entities. When the masculine principle and feminine principle unite, the creation begins.

maram 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2000 from my little research on the shivalinga...using numeral configuration, i have come to realise that that shivalinga is actually the symbol of an atom's expansion and the lengthy protruding arm is the path from which vibration can leave to create frictions to start up a creative momentum. u r right it is the relationship of opposites...two points...A(Paramathma).......and B(Jiwathma) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
