LORD SHIVA

LORD SHIVA

Shivalingam is one of the most controversial topic in sanatan because of its structure and its misconceptions about it. Shivalingam is dedicated to shiva. Shiva is also known as a destroyer in sanatan religion. The devotee of shiva is called as shaivite. shiva is known and called by different names in Sanatan such as shankar, mahakaal, Rudra, mrityunjay, pashupatinath, adiyogi, ardhanarishwar etc. Parvati is considered as his shakti or Energy or power. 

He is present in two forms ,one is sakaar or physical form and another is nirakar or worshipped in the form of shivalingam. 

CONTROVERSY ABOUT THE SHIVALINGAM:-

Many people say it is a male penis, or Shiva cut penis. Even most of the sanatani don’t know about the auspicious Shiva lingam. They are also observing it as a male penis. Female Devotees do not touch the lingam because in their mind they are thinking wrong about the shivalingam. 

Sanskrit is the oldest language. It is also known as the Dev bhasha. Most of the vedas and purans , upanishads are written in English. In Sanskrit ,the word used for male penis is Shishna . Shishna means male penis whereas lingam means symbol. The lingam is the nirakar form of Shiva.

Why are people saying it is penis and parvati yoni? Instead why people are not thinking is that it may be a burning diya or deep? The lauh / flame of diya also looks like shivalingam. 

The shivalingam is the only symbolic / nirakar form of shiva.  Example- some religion is praying to their God in the written form, someone is in sign forms. Such as Gurugrantha sahib, cross, Allah etc. The same is Aum . Sanatan God is Aum. But humans have feelings, thinking etc . Humans need religion. 

DIFFERENT PATHS OF WORSHIPPING GOD ACCORDING TO HUMANS ARE:-

1 . people want to go nearest to their God. So, according to their thoughts, feelings , devotion and love sanatan have carved the God according to their wishes.

2. they carved into statue, 

3 . Writing stories , poems and songs,

4 . doing bhajan and kirtans,

5 . burning diyaas in houses and temples and under the trees

6 . by Helping poor people ,animals, birds and environment

7 . Caring and feedings and treating animals and birds

8 . Doing studies

9. through Meditation

10 . Learning Tantra vidya

11. Helping and feeding family

12 . Army serving for their country with honesty etc

 In the same way we can say that shivalingam is the physical form of Aum. 

SHIVALINGAM

WHY IS BELPATRA OFFERING TO SHIVALINGAM ? 

Doing pujas for someone is superstitions, some for personal love , someone for peace etc

It is believed that offering Belpatra to Shivalingam brings bliss, welfare, wealth, well being and prosperity. People think that by offering Belpatra to Shiva makes him happy . But offering Belpatra may has two thoughts:-

1 . It is the human nature that if a person loves someone , he / she wants to give, donate, sacrifices etc. to show their love.

2 . The other side of offering Belpatra is that it is said that Shiva loves Belpatra. If a person sacrifices or offers a Belpatra to the Shiva with his wholeheartedly, love and devotion then he / she definitely gets the blessings and fulfilled wishes and gets shivaloka. There are many stories which say Shiva loves Belpatra.

The Belpatra

The tree is mostly found around the Shiva and shakti temples. It is an auspicious tree in sanatan dharma. The leaves are found in three bunches. Some may be in five leaves which is very common.

1. The three leaves denotes Trinity or Tridev. 

2 . The leaves denote Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv. 

3 . It may denote create, preserve and destroy. 

4 . It can denote present, past and future means he is all present ,past and future. 

5 . It can also denote our vatta, kapha and pitta. Means the belpatra may have the capacity to maintain human bodies three doshas. 

There are thousands of blame on Shiva and shivalingam which is given by hindus and other religions to destroy his omnipotent existence. It is said that he was walking nude holding his dead wife in his arms. He has cut his penis. 

Is this possible? 

People have just destroyed each and every God of Santana. Shiva is Omkar. All are trying to destroy our beautiful, elegant, flourished , scientific and splendid religion into hate and superstition .Unwanted changes done in our religious books, purans and Upanishads. most of the changes are done in the purans.

No one is asking today if sanatan is superstitious and false, then why foreigners came to Bharat to study in Nalanda university? If it was superstition then why was it burnt? Without jealousy it was not possible. Our books were wrongly translated. They didn’t leave even our devtas such as indra. Ex -sanatani has applied rape charges on him. Even Ex-sanatani has not left any God without question on their characters. 

Shiv is the male power in the universe. His supremacy can’t be defined. He is the summit and climax of love, purity, divinity, power, wisdom and Everlasting. He is in Kundalini. He is Aum.
