Shiva Lingams - Symbolized Energy
Shivalingams originate from central India and were originally recovered as naturally formed river pebbles from the Narmada River. Now, due to high demand, it is carefully carved by hand from the original rock. The Shiva Lingam is a traditional phallic symbol, symbolizing male energy and is therefore, as the name suggests, often found in temples of the god Shiva. Further, the Shiva Lingam, like all other egg stones, represents the infinite and the totality of creation. Lingam stones can provide balance and harmony through their gentle vibrations.
The word Shiva is derived from the Sanskrit term Siva (auspicious one) and refers to one of the most important deities of Hinduism. Spellings such as Shiwa or Siwa are therefore not correct.
The pierced Shiva Lingam is approx. 3cm large
