In Indian mythology God is container of all forms, yet he is formless.

-'Linga 'or phallus is an iconic representation of Hindu God Shiva.

-The erect phis symbolic representation of alert mind that is aroused by wisdom and not worldly stimuli.

It is considered as the container of infinity, a self stirred, ‘svayambhu’, the form of the formless divine.

-Lord Shiva is visualized and identified as the smooth oval, semi-cylindrical free-standing pillar of fuel less frames that appeared between Brahma and Vishnu.

- MUKHARLING

In temples, a head or multiple heads are carved in the stone. This head is identified as 'Shiva Mukharlinga’ ( linga with a face) a self-stirred phallus of Tapasvin.

- Linga is a still pillar of consciousness, the fountainhead of imagination, around which nature dance. It is reminded of a human head with a highly developed brain that can image and forge a path to the Devine. His inward gaze away from the material world is called ‘nivratti marg’.

-Shiva Linga, refers to the northern movement of conscious thoughts of ‘Tapasvin’ (men who are intellectual, emotionally, physically liberated ) the reverse flow of their senses and semen towards pole star, for achieving spiritual insight of reality, away from material pursuits.

-Shiva Linga is a physical expression of an idea known as ‘sat-cit-anand’ means the tranquility (Anand) that follows when mind (Chitta) discovered truth of nature and of the human condition (sat) by purging itself of all memories and prejudice.

-Divine couple Shiva Parvati is shown as a linga-yoni combine in statues.

-In Mukharlinga, Shiva's face is created in high relief. Hair piled on the head like a bun, with long hair falling on the shoulder. He wears earrings, necklace, crescent moon, and third eye.

-Mukharlinga may have one face (eklinga) of celibate ‘Tapasvin’ (Shiva) or maybe 4 faced with an invisible 5th face on top.

-The linga part of the column represents sound (Nada).

By Worshipping Shiva -:-Linga one becomes liberated from the confines of nature and becomes master of his own contentment by discovering the infinite possibilities of imagination.

Jai Ganesh Girija suvan, Mangal mul sujan

Kahit Ayodhya das tum, dev abhay vardan

Jai Girijapati din dayala, sada karat santan pritpala.

Bhol chahdrama sohat nike, kanan kundal nag phani ke.

Ang gaur, shir gangabanae, mundamal tan chhar lagae.

Vastra khal bagambar sohe, chhavi ko dekh nag muni mohe.

Maina matu ki havai dulari, bam ang sohat chhavi niyari

Kar men trishul sohat chhavi bhari karai sada shatrun shahkari

Nandi Ganesh sohain tahan kaise, sagar madhya kamal hai jaise.

Kartik shyam aur ganarau, ya chhavi ko kahi jat na kau.

Devani jab hi ai pukara, tabahin dukh Prabhu ap nivara.

Kiya upadrav Tarak bhari, devani sab mili turnahin juhari.

Turant shadanan ap pathayo, lay nimesh mahin mari girayo.

Ap jaladhar asur sanhara, suyash tumhara vidit sansara.

Tripurasur sang yudh machai, sabahin kripa kari linh bachai.

Kiya tapahin Bhagirath bhari, purve pratigya tasu purari.

Davan manan tum sam kou nahin, sevak ustuti karat sadai.

Ved nam mahima tab gai, akath anadi bhed nahin pai

Pragateu dadi-manthan te jvala, jare surasur bahe bihala.

Dindayal tahan kari sahai, Nilkanth tab nam kahai.

Pujan Ramchandra jab kinha, jit ke Lanka Vibhishan dinha.

Sahas kamal men ho rahe dhari, kinha pariksha tabahi purari

Ek kamal prabhu rakhyau gohi, kamal nayan pujan chahan soi

Kathin bhakti dekhi Prabhu Shankar, bhaye prasan diye ichhatvar.

Jai Jai Jai Anant avinasi, karat kripa sab ke ghat vasi

Dushat sakal nit mohi satavaen, bhramat rahe mohi chain na avaen.

Trahi trahi main nath pukarun, yahi avasari mohi, ani ubaro.

Lai trishul shatruni ko maro, sankat se mohe ani ubaro.

Mata pita bhrata sab hoi, sankat men puchhat nahin koi.

Svarmi ek hai as tumhari, ai haranu ab sankat bhari

Dhan nirdhan ko det sadai, jo koi jancha so phal pahin.

Ustuti kehi vidhi karaun tumhari, shamahu nath ab chuk hamari

Shahkar ho sankat ke nashan, vighna vinashan mangal karan.

Yogi yati muni dhyan lagavain, sharad Narad shish nivavain.

Namo, namo jai namo Shivaye, sur Brahmadik par na paye.

Jo yah path kare man lai, tapar hot hain Shambhu sahai.

Rinya jo koi ho adhikari, path kare so pavan-hari

Putra ho na ichchha kari koi, nishchai Shiv prasad te hoi

Pandit triyodashi ko lavain, dhyan purvak horn karavain.

Tryodashi vrita kare hamesh, tan nahin take rahe kalesh.

Dhup dip naived chadhavai, Shankar sanmukh path sunavai.

Janam Janam ke pap nashavai, ahtvas Shivpur men pavai.

Kahe Ayodhya as tumhari, jan sakal dukh harahu hamari.

DOHA:

Nitya Nema kari Pratahi

Patha karau Chalis

Tum Meri Man Kamana

Purna Karahu Jagadish

mahimnah param te parama vidusho yadyasadrishi

stutir brahma dina mapitadava sannastvayi girah,

atha vacyah sarvah svamati parina mavadhi grinan

mamapyeshah stotre hara nirapavadah parikarah

Sri Pushpadanta said:

If it is unseemly to praise You when ignorant of the extent of’ Your greatness, then even the praises of Brahma and others are inadequate. If no one can be blamed when they praise You according to their intellectual powers, then my attempt to compose a hymn cannot be reproached. (1)

Text 2

Atitah panthanam tava ca mahima vanmanasayor

atad vyavrttya yam cakita mabhi dhatte shrutirapi,

sa kasya stotavyah katividha gunah kasya vishayah

pade tvarvacine patati na manah kasya na vacah.

Your greatness is beyond the reach of mind and speech. Who can properly praise that which even the Vedas describe with trepidation, by means of’ ‘neti-neti / not this, not this’? How many qualities does He possess? By whom can He be perceived? Yet whose mind and speech do not turn to the form later taken by Him (saguna) (2)

Text 3

Madhu sphita vacah paramam amritam nirmitavatas

tava brahman kim vag api suraguror vismaya padam,

mama tvetam vanim guna kathana punyena bhavatah

punam ityarthe’smin puramathana buddhir vyavasita.

O Brahman! Do even Brihaspati’s praises cause wonder to You, the author of the nectar like sweet Vedas? 0 destroyer of the three cities, the thought that by praising Your glories I shall purify my speech has prompted me to undertake this work. (3)

Text 4

Tavaisvaryam yat taj jagadudaya raksa pralayakrit

trayivastu vyastam tisrishu guna-bhinnasu tanushu,

abhavyanam asmin varada ramaniyama ramanim

vihantum vyakrosim vidadhata ihaike jadadhiyah.

O Giver of boons! Some stupid people produce arguments–pleasing to the ignorant but in fact hateful– to refute Your Divinity, which creates, preserves and destroys the world, which is divided into three bodies (Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) according to the three gunas, and which is described in the three Vedas. (4)

Text 5

Kimihah kimkayah sa khalu kimupaya stribhuvanam

kimadharo dhata srijati kimupadana iti ca,

atarkyaish varye tvay yanavasara duhstho hatadhiyah

kutarko’yam kamshcin mukharayati mohaya jagatah.

To fulfill what desire, assuming what form, with what instruments, support and material does that Creator create the three worlds? This kind of futile argumentation about You whose divine nature is beyond the reach of intellect, makes the perverted vociferous, and brings delusion to men. (5)

Text 6

Ajanmano lokah kimavayava vanto’pi jagatam

adhisthataram kim bhavavidhir-anadritya bhavati,

anisho va kuryad bhuvana janane kah parikaro

yato mandastvam praty-amaravara samsherata ime.

O Lord of gods! Can the worlds be without origin, though they have bodies? Is their creation possible without a creator? Who else but God can initiate the creation of the worlds? Because they are fools they raise doubts about Your existence. (6)

Text 7

Trayi sankhyam yogah pasupati matam vaishnavamiti

prabhinne prasthane paramidamadah pathyamiti ca,

rucinam vaicitryad riju kutila nana pathajusham

nrinameko gamyas tvamsasi payasa marnava iva.

Different paths (to realization) arc enjoined by the three Vedas, by Sankhya, Yoga, Pashupata (Shaiva) (doctrine and Vaishnava Shastras. People follow different paths, straight or crooked, according to their temperament, depending on which they consider best, or most appropriate–and reach You alone just as rivers enter the ocean. (7)

Text 8

Mahokshah khatvangam parashu-rajinam bhasma haninah

kapalam cetiyat tava varada tantro pakaranam,

surastam tamriddhim dadhati tu bhavad bhru pranihitam

na hi svatma ramam vishaya mriga trishna bhramayati.

O Giver of boons! A great bull, a wooden hand rest, an axe, a tiger skin, ashes, serpents, a human skull and other such things–these are all You own, though simply by casting Your eyes on gods You gave them great treasures which they enjoy. Indeed one whose delight is in the Self cannot be deluded by the mirage of sense objects. (8)

Text 9

Dhruvam kascit sarvam sakala mapara stva dhruva midam

paro dhrau vyadhrauvye jagati gadati vyasta vishaye,

stuvan jihremi tvam na khalu nanu dhrishta mukharata.

O Destroyer of the demon Pura, some say that the whole universe is eternal while others say that all is transitory. Others still, hold that it is eternal and non-eternal — having different characteristics. Bewildered by all this, I do not feel ashamed to praise You; indeed my loquacity is an indication of my boldness. (9)

Text 10

Tavaisvaryam yatnad yadupari virincir-hari-radhah

paricchett- um yatav anala manala skandha vapushah,

svayam tasthe tabhyam tava kim anuvrittir na phalati.

O Girisha, when You took the form of a pillar of fire, Brahma trying from above and Vishnu trying from below failed to measure You. Afterwards, when they praised You with great faith and devotion, You revealed yourself to them of Your own accord; does not surrender to You bear fruit? (10)

Text 11

Ayatnadapadya tribhuvanama-vairavya-tikaram

d- ashasyo yadbahun abhrita ranakandu paravashan,

sthirah padmasreni racita caranam bhoruhabaleh

sthiraya stvad bhaktes tripurahara visphur jitamidam.

O Destroyer of Tripura, it was because of that great devotion, which prompted him to offer his heads as lotuses to Your feet, that the ten-headed Ravana was still with arms and eager for fresh war after he had effortlessly rid the three worlds of all traces of enemies. (11)

Text 12

Amushya tvatseva samadhigata-saram bhujavanam

balat-kailase’pi tvadadhivasatau vikramayatah,

But when he (Ravana) extended the valour of his arms-whose strength was obtained by worshipping You- to Kailas, Your abode, You moved the tip of Your toe, and he did not find a resting place even in the nether world. Truly, when affluent the wicked become deluded. (12)

Text 13

Yadriddhim sutramno varada paramo-ccairapi satim

O Giver of boons, since Bana was the worshipper of Your feet is it to be wondered at that he had the three worlds at his command and put to shame the wealth of Indra? What prosperity does not come from bowing down the head to You? (13)

Text 14

Akanda brahmanda kshaya cakita devasura kripa

O Three-Eyed One, who drank poison out of compassion for gods and demons when they were distraught at the sudden prospect of the destruction of the universe, surely the dark blue stain on Your throat has beautified You. Even deformity is to be admired in one who is given to freeing the world of fear. (14)

smarah smarta-vyatma na hi vasishu pathyah paribhavah

O Lord, the god of love, whose arrows never fail in the world of gods and men, become nothing but an object of memory because he looked on You as an ordinary god (his body being burnt by Your look of wrath). An insult to the self controlled is not conducive to good. (15)

When You danced to save the world, the earth was suddenly thrown into a precarious state at the striking of Your feet; the spatial regions and the hosts of stars felt oppressed by the movement of Your massive club-like arms; and the heavens became miserable as their sides were constantly struck by Your waving matted hair. Indeed it is Your very mightiness which is the cause of the trouble. (16)

The river which pervades the sky and whose foam crests look all the more beautiful because of stars and planets, seems no more than a drop of water when on Your head. That same river has turned the world into islands surrounded by waters. From this can be judged vastness of Your divine body. (17)

When You wanted to burn the three cities of the demons – which were but a piece of straw to You–the earth was Your chariot, Brahma Your charioteer, the great mountain Meru Your bow, the sun and the moon the wheels of Your chariot, Vishnu Your arrow. Why all this paraphernalia? The Lord is not dependent on others. He was only playing with things at His command. (18)

O Destroyer of the three cities, Hari rooted out His own lotus-eye to make up the difference when one flower was missing in His offering of 1,000 lotuses to Your feet. For this great devotion You awarded the discus (Sudarshan Chakra) ~ with which Hari protects the three worlds. (19)

When a sacrifice has ended, You ever keep awake to bestow its fruit on the sacrificer. How can any action bear fruit if not accompanied by worship of You, 0 Lord? Therefore, knowing You to be the Giver of fruits of sacrifices and putting faith in the Vedas, people become resolute about the performance of sacrificial acts. (20)

O Giver of refuge, even that sacrifice where Daksha, the Lord of creation and expert in sacrifices, was the sacrificer, rishis were priests, gods participants, was destroyed by You who are habitually the Giver of fruits of sacrifices. Surely sacrifices cause injury to the sacrificers in the absence of faith and devotion. (21)

O Lord, the fury of You who became a hunter with a bow in hand has not as yet left Brahma who, overcome by incestuous lust and finding his own daughter transforming herself into a hind, desired to ravish her in the body of a stag and keenly pierced by Your arrows, he (Brahma) has fled to the sky(22)

O Destroyer of the three cities, 0 Giver of boons, is Parvati who saw the god of love, bow in hand, burnt like a piece of straw in a minute by You, still proud of her beauty and believing that You are fascinated by her, because she was allowed to occupy half Your body because of her austerities? Ah, surely all women are under delusion. You have completely conquered Your senses. (23)

O Destroyer of the god of love, 0 Giver of boons, Your play is in cremation grounds, Your companions are ghosts, You smear Your body with the ashes of burnt bodies, human skulls are Your garland-all Your conduct is indeed inauspicious. But You promote the greatest good of those who remember You. (24)

You are indeed that inexpressible Truth which the yogis realize within through concentrating their minds on the Self and controlling the breath according to the directions laid down in the scriptures, and realizing which Truth they experience rapturous thrills and shed profuse tears of joy; swimming as it were in a pool of nectar they enjoy inner bliss.

O Giver of refuge, with the three letters A, U, M, indicating the three Vedas, three states, three worlds and the three gods, the word AUM(Om) describes You separately. By its subtle sound the word Om collectively denotes You – Your absolute transcendental state which is free from change. (27)
