German Silver Yoni base with Lingam Design II

Shiva is "The Auspicious One". Shiva lingam is the holy symbol of union of Lord Shiva and Shakti . Lord Shiva from time immemorial has been worshiped in the form of linga or lingam. The word linga means symbol or sign. It is the visible symbol of Nirguna Brahman (the Supreme being) and is present in all the living beings. The most common use of the Shiva Lingam is for sacred bathing (abhishekam) and so the worship of a Shiva Lingam always includes an abhisheka usually of milk and water, but commonly with other liquids, including yogurt, honey and clarified butter as well.

The word lingam is derived from the two Sanskrit words laya (dissolution) and agaman (recreation). Thus the lingam symbolizes both the creative and destructive power of the Lord and great sanctity is attached to it by the devotees. 

Shivlinga is worshipped in homes and temples. At home it blesses with unity and harmony in the family and guides its devotees to spiritual path. 

Placement: It is installed with Yoni facing North direction and west face of Lingam towards you.
