Procreation, the Adorable
The Shiv-ling has ever been a matter of amazement and mystery for mankind. That something obscure is there behind the adoration of such a carnal symbol as ling irrespective of the same being that of a deity called Shiv has ever been lingering in my mind. Why should a large majority of population in this land – from north to south - worship the genitals so openly, so brazenly? So reverently! Shiv is supposed to be a mythological persona, in existence too long back in time, who might have been the pioneer in realizing the spectacular qualities of ling and yoni, specifically, those of converting the sthaavar (the insensate) into jangam (the sensate) and those of creating the satva-lok, (conscious beings).
