Shiv Netra Golden Crystal Shaligram lingam with Silver Yoni Base

Description

This beautifully crafted Yoni base in pure silver holding a rare black lustrous Shaligram Shila shaped like a Lingam or Shivling is Divinely powerful. The Shaligram Shila is a representation of Lord Vishnu, a self manifested stone found only in the Kali Gandaki River, Nepal. The worship of Shaligram focuses on six virtues of life which includes creation of wealth, good health, world and spiritual pleasures, spiritual progress, protection and righteous living.

Lord Shiva from time immemorial is worshiped in the form of a Shivling.

Symbolic / Spiritual meanings:
Yoni base: a symbol of active energy / Prakriti – female powers of nature affect the creation. Also signifies Satya (Truth), Jnana (Knowledge), and Ananta (Infinity).
Lingam: a symbol of passive energy/ Purusha – the male powers of nature that help create. The word Lingam is derived from the two Sanskrit words laya (dissolution of negativities) and agaman (recreation).

When Yoni and Lingam come together /the union of Prakriti (the female powers of nature) and Purusha (the male powers of nature) – Creation happens! The serpent of the Lingam is the personification of Kundalini (rising spiritual power) usually dormant at the Root Chakra, so the serpent reminds us of our purpose of life, which is to strive to attain Self-Enlightenment by working on/activating the Root (Muladhara) Chakra and reach the Crown (Sahasrara) Chakra.

Thus, the Shiva Lingam symbolizes both the creative and destructive (of negativities) power of the Lord and the sadhaks/worshippers feel great sanctity and experience varied benefits.

Placement: Place the Yoni base in such a way that it faces North direction. So, the west face of the Lingam is worshipped. The worship of a Shivling always includes an Abhishek/method of worship usually of milk and water, but commonly with other liquids, including yogurt, honey and clarified butter as well.
