Shivalingam: The Symbol of Lord Shiva in Hinduism

Shivalingam has three parts; the lowest is Brahma-Pitha, the middle one is Vishnu-Pitha, and then the uppermost is called the Shiva-Pitha. The Shiva Linga is carved from the stone. This Linga can be very large and also can be very small, below to the knee-height. In Hinduism, it is believed that Shivalinga can help us in going beyond consciousness. The most sacred Lingas are Jyotirlingas. Jyoti means “Light” and Linga means “Mark” and hence Jyotirlinga defines “Radiant Sign of Lord Shiva”.
