Shiva Lingam - Crypto Crystalline Quartz- sacred stone

Lingams are only found at the Narmada River high in the mountains of Mandhata, one of the seven sacred holy places of pilgrimage in India. Each Lingam contains sacred markings symbolic of the marks on Lord Shiva`s forehead. The stones are "Crypto Crystalline Quartz", said to contain the loftiest vibration of all stones on Earth. They emanate a vibration that will purify your temple or home. The stone represents both the male energy of knowledge & the female energy of wisdom. No two stones are alike.

The red markings are iron oxide, possibly impregnated in the river bed millions of years ago by a meteorite. Symbolically, the phallic shape represents the male energy and the markings represent the female energy. A symbol of creation and balance. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linga

Those of you who have seen the movie "INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM" may recall they were searching for the sacred stone. The SHIVA-LINGAM is that sacred stone.

The non antrhropomorphic Lingam form of Shiva is what is held in reverence in temples all over the sub continent. The Lingam is a symbol. It is a symbol of that which is invisible yet omnipresent. It is hence a a visible symbol of the Ultimate Reality which is present in us (and in all objects of creation ).

The Shivalingam denotes the primeval energy of the Creator.It is believed that at the end of all creation, during the great deluge, all of the different aspects of God find a resting place in the Lingam; Bhrama is absorbed into the right, Vishnu to the left and Gayatri into the heart. The Shivalingam is also a representation of the infinite Cosmic Column of fire, whose origins, Vishnu and Bhrama were unable to trace. www.mahashivratri.org/shiva-linga.html
