Shiva (or Siva) is one of the most important gods in the Vedic Science pantheon and, along with Brahma and Vishnu, is considered a member of the holy trinity (trimurti) of Vedic Science. A complex character, he may represent goodness, benevolence and serve as the Protector but he also has a darker side as the leader of evil spirits, ghosts and vampires and as the master of thieves, villains and beggars. He is also associated with Time, and particularly as the destroyer of all things. Nevertheless, Shiva is also associated with creation. In Vedic Science, the universe is thought to regenerate in cycles (every 2,160,000,000 years). Shiva destroys the universe at the end of each cycle which then allows for a new Creation. Shiva is also the great ascetic, abstaining from all forms of indulgence and pleasure, concentrating rather on meditation as a means to find perfect happiness. Shivaling literally means the body of Shiva. Next to the symbol of AUM, it is perhaps the most potent, powerful and popular sacred symbol in Vedic Science, which is worshipped, meditated upon and worn on the body by many devotees. In almost all the Shiva temples, worship is generally made to Shivalingas only. Very rarely we come across his images in the sanctum sanctorum of any Shiva temple. A Shivaling is usually a round or cylindrical and protruding object. The cylindrical part is held firmly by a circular base. On the physical plane, the object resembles the male sexual organ, suggestive of the creative power of Shiva. The circular base resembles that of the female, suggestive of his consort Parvathi. Physically a Shivaling is a phallic symbol, representing the male and female sexual organs in a state of conjugal bliss. Mentally it symbolizes the union of mind and body. Spiritually it represents the union between Purusha and Prakriti, the highest principles of the manifest universe. Universally, it stands for life and existence, the coming together of matter and consciousness, of gross bodies and subtle bodies to create the miracle called life. The Shivaling is symbolic of the Supreme Self. It is verily Maheswara Himself, the Highest Self and the Lord of the universe. In this aspect it has three parts. The lower part represents Brahma. The middle part, which is octagonal in shape, represents Vishnu. The upper part, which is cylindrical in shape, represents Rudra. It is also called Pujabhaga, since it receives the actual offerings of milk and other substances.
