Shiva Lingam is an abstract symbol of God Shiva.


Shiva Lingam is an abstract symbol of God Shiva. It propagates the concept that God can be worshiped in any convenient form or shape. So, Shiva Linga represents the formless Supreme Being Shiva that creates, sustains and destroys all the elements of the Universe. It represents the mark of the cosmos and as the symbol of the Eternal Brahman.
According to Skanda Purana, Shiva Linga is described as an endless sky that holds the entire Universe. It is said that at the end of time, all the Gods and the entire universe finally merge in the Shiva Linga itself.
According to Shiva Purana, Shiva Linga is a beginning-less and endless cosmic pillar of fire which is the cause of all origins in the universe.
It is considered as a form of Lord Shiva which is superior to Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and all other Gods. According to Linga Purana, it represents the infinite nature of Lord Shiva. It is an oval shaped structure which goes on to resemble the whole Universe. Its base holds the entire Universe.
According to Shaiva Siddhanta, which was for many centuries the dominant school of Shaiva theology and liturgy across the Indian subcontinent (and beyond it in Cambodia), the linga is the ideal substrate in which the worshipper should install and worship the five-faced and ten-armed Sadāśiva, the form of Shiva who is the focal divinity of that school of Shaivism.!! 👁🔱🏔🕉🙏
