A fine quality antique Khmer style sandstone linga, lingum or lingam with Yoni. A symbol of fertility and energy it is an abstract or aniconic representation of the Hindu deity, Shiva.
The linga and yoni are ancient symbols in Hinduism, rich in spiritual and cosmic significance. Representing the divine masculine and feminine energies, they embody the union of opposites, the creative forces of the universe, and the divine source from which all life originates.
The linga, depicted here as a cylindrical stone, is a symbol of the divine masculine energy and represents Lord Shiva in his formless aspect. The word "linga" itself means "sign" or "symbol." It signifies the unmanifested, transcendent aspect of God, which is beyond attributes and form.
The yoni is the base or receptacle that supports the linga. It symbolizes the divine feminine energy, representing the cosmic womb from which all life emerges. The word "yoni" translates to "source" or "origin" and signifies the primordial source of creation.
The linga and yoni together signify the cosmic balance and the interplay of opposing forces. Their union represents the harmony of creation and the divine dance of Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and feminine principles. It underscores the idea that the universe is sustained through the harmonious interdependence of these polar energies.
The linga is as a symbol of the energy and potential of God, Shiva himself. Here a representation of the powerful Shiva, in adoration pose, can be seen on the Mukhalinga. Along with Sanskrit text.
Both the front and rear of the sculpture displays Sanskrit text.
To aid with safe shipping the Linga will be wood crating for shipping.
