In many viral videos and online debates, people claim "Hindus pray to a penis" when referring to the Shiva Lingam (or Shivling). But is the Shiva Lingam really a phallic symbol of male genitalia? Or is there a deeper, ancient meaning rooted in Hindu philosophy? <br />In this video, we dive into: <br /><br />The real meaning of "Lingam" (Sanskrit for "sign" or "mark") and why it's not just a crude representation. <br />How the Shiva Lingam symbolizes Lord Shiva's formless, infinite nature (often as a pillar of light or cosmic energy). <br />The union of masculine (Shiva) and feminine (Shakti/Yoni base) energies – representing creation, fertility, and the balance of the universe. <br />Historical myths from Puranas (like Lingodbhava – Shiva appearing as an endless pillar of fire). <br />Why some Western scholars and critics call it a "phallus" – and why many Hindus and modern teachers (like Sadhguru) reject this as a misunderstanding or deliberate misrepresentation. <br />How millions of devotees perform abhishekam (pouring milk, water, etc.) on the Lingam daily in temples – what it actually signifies spiritually. <br /><br />Whether you're curious, shocked, or just want facts – this video clears up the controversy with references from scriptures, history, and explanations from Hindu scholars. <br /><br />Read more: https://kabulnews.online/video.html
