Shivling

If Shivling is not a male organ, then why is it embedded in Yoni?

1. If someone derives sadistic pleasure from ridiculing a religious belief, then please stay happy in your delusional paradise and do not bother to read whatever is written below because you are the one who is all-knowing. So celebrate your knowledge.

2. Let me draw your attention to the fact that we barely understand our visible universe. Having said that, are you saying that we want to use our so-called intellect to understand that entity (the Supreme Being) whom even the creator of our universe, Lord Brahma, does not understand?

Good Luck!

3. The point is that our logic and reasoning can only take us so far, which, trust me, is not even qualified to be called "far." This applies even to the most intelligent lifeforms, which are way more intelligent than mankind. So empty your cup.

Shiva means "The Auspicious One." Linga means "sign or symbol".

Shiva The Almighty, the Para Brahman, the Supreme Soul, the source of all energies, is "Nirakaar" (has no form), "Anadi" (has no beginning), and "Anant" (has no end). Shiva is also known as Shambhu, Swayambhu, and Sadashiva, meaning that Shiva is the eternal soul who has no creator above him. In Sanatan Dharma, a form was required to be given to the formless so that ordinary mortals could worship. That form, symbol, or linga appeared as the "infinite pillar of fire" between Brahma and Vishnu when they were fighting for supremacy.

Vishnu transformed himself into a boar and went down to find the origin of the pillar of fire, but he returned unsuccessfully. Brahma transformed himself into a swan and flew up to find the limit of the pillar of fire. He soared and soared, unable to find Shiva's limit. He met Ketaki Flower on the way, who told Brahma that he had been existing since the beginning. However, even he didn't know its origin or limit. Brahma requested the Ketaki Flower to testify before Vishnu that he had discovered the limit. The Ketaki flower agreed. Vishnu accepted Brahma's superiority when the Ketaki flower testified.

Shiva became pleased with Vishnu and blessed him with equal status, saying that he would also be worshipped. However, Shiva became very angry at Brahma because he lied to become worshipable. Shiva opened his third eye and manifested Bhairav, who severed the fifth head of Brahma. Shiva spared Brahma's life at Vishnu's request. Shiva cursed Brahma, saying he would not be worshipped by anyone. He also prohibited the Ketaki flower from being used for worship. When Brahma begged for forgiveness, Shiva granted him the boon of being the presiding deity of all the yagyas. When the Ketaki flower begged for forgiveness, Shiva allowed it to be offered in worship of Vishnu.

The Tridevs, viz. Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, are the manifestations of Lord Shiva himself. Their "Shaktis," or the core of their energies, are the Tridevis. Brahma's shakti is Saraswati, Vishnu's shakti is Lakshmi, and Mahesh's shakti is Parvati.

Shiva and Shakti are inseparable. There is no Shiva without Shakti, and there is no Shakti without Shiva. Shiva without Shakti becomes Shava.

The Tridevs and rest of the devtas are present in the linga form, and their shaktis are present in the base of the linga. When Linga is worshipped, all the gods and goddesses are worshipped simultaneously.
