**What is Shiva-lingam (Pindi)? **
Join us Forum for Hindu Awakening
A Shiva lingam (pindi) is made of two symbolic parts – Shalunka (symbol of the passage of birth) and the Phallus (symbol of the male sex organ) or lingam. There is no erotic meaning to the Shiva lingam, in fact, the phallus protrudes out and does not insert as in sexual intercourse. Lord Shiva and Shri Parvati (Shiva's Divine Energy, also known as Shakti) are considered the parents of the world, and LordShiva always functions with the help of Shakti. This does not mean that Lord Shiva is incapable; but to undertake any action, Divine Energy is needed. Hence, both Lord Shiva and Shakti are worshipped together. Lord Shiva's symbolic lingam in the form of a Shiva lingam or pindi represents the energy of radiance. The containment buildings of nuclear reactors also have a shape similar to the lingam because such a shape is the strongest to contain very high pressures without deforming or breaking open.

To be able to understand Hindu symbols, a spirit of deep inquiry about the Divine is required and such a spirit is developed with daily spiritual practice (sādhanā) as per the spiritual principles of Hinduism.

They Scratch & hurt you,
