THE STORY OF THE LINGHAM: Men have collected stones since the beginning of time and have assumed that certain ones were containers of the life force with all its mystery. The Shiva Lingam is such a stone. It has been highly venerated and used extensively throughout history for both worship and ritual. It is an Indian belief that millions of years ago, a meteorite collided with the earth at which is now the source of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh, a mountainous province some 300 miles northeast of Mumbai (Bombay), India. The tremendous heat of the collision caused a fusion of the ambient rock and meteoric material. Over the ages, a river began to flow through this area and the combination of these factors produced the unique condition in which pieces of the fused matter, revolving in the river bed over thousands of years, take on a distinct ovoid form. The oval form is markedly different from the flatter, thinner rocks normally appearing in the riverbed. Once a year, after a long dry season and just before the beginning of the monsoon, when the river is at its lowest, the villagers, working with oxen and rope, go out onto the riverbed and pull the stones from the water. The stones are then hand polished, a large one taking several months to complete. Some of the families seal the stones with a mixture of waxes and oils, according to formulas handed down from generation to generation within each family. These pillar or egg-shaped stones are called Lingams (literally, “sign” or “characteristic” in Sanskrit). To certain sects of the Hindu Religion, the stones are considered to represent directly the Transcendental Being, the Living God, Divine Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss (Satchitananda). According to the Skanda Purana, an ancient Hindu scripture, the lingam represents the all-pervading space in which the whole universe is in the process of creation and dissolution. Other sects consider the lingam, with its obvious phallic form, to be symbolic of the generative force of life itself.
