Friends, according to a story of Shivpuran, once some disciples asked the Purana narrator whether Shivlinga is worshiped everywhere because of being a linga or there is some other reason. On this, he narrates a story that in a great forest named Daruk, devotees of Lord Shiva used to always meditate on Lord Shiva. Some time they had gone to the forest to collect Samidha. At the same time, Shiva came in the guise of a Tantrik Avadhoot to teach them and test them, who was making evil attempts while holding the Linga in his hand. The sages’ wives got very scared after seeing him. And others came there desperate and surprised. Some other women held each other’s hands and hugged each other. Some women became ecstatic with the friction of that embrace. At the same time Rishivars came and seeing that behavior became sad and distraught with anger. They started saying among themselves, who is this, who is this. When Tantrik Avadhoot did not say anything, they cursed him saying that he was behaving against the Vedas so his Linga should fall on the ground. So did happen. That Linga burnt all the objects in front like fire. Wherever it went, it would burn everything. It went to hell, went to heaven, went everywhere on earth, but did not settle anywhere. All the people became distraught, and those sages also became very sad. No god or sage found peace. The gods and sages who did not recognize Shiva took refuge in Brahma. Brahma scolded them a lot for unrecognising Shiva like illetrates though they being knowledgeables and scholars and said that if Goddess Parvati becomes Yonirupa then it will become stable. To please the Goddess, they were told the following method. An eight-petalled lotus should be made and a Kalash should be placed on top of it and water from the pilgrimage site containing Durva and Yavankurs should be filled in it. Then that Kumbh that’s holy handheld small pitcher should be invoked through Veda mantras. Then, after worshiping it in the Vedic manner, one should anoint the Shivalinga with the water from the Kalash while remembering Shiva and reciting Shatrudriya mantras. Then sprinkle the Linga with the same mantras, then it will become calm. Then after installing the arrow or Bana in the form of Girija yoni, the Linga should be placed on it and then it should be invoked. Then Shodashopachara pujan means God should be worshiped with sixteen types of ingredients, and then He should be praised. This will make the Linga stable and healthy, and all three abodes will become free from disorders and happy.
However, this story cannot be explained. This is a sensitive religious matter connected with the faith. This can be understood by one himself. Yes, it can definitely be said that every man wanders in search of his sexual partner at some time or the other. During that time, the picture of trance that is formed in his mind can definitely make him irritable and jealous. This is because samadhi requires additional energy, which can be obtained only with the help of a close companion. The octagonal lotus is a symbol of the Anahata Chakra, and love originates on it only. Placing a pot filled with water from the holy places on it means gathering and concentrating the meditative power on it. Different pilgrimages mean different chakras. Durva grass symbolizes fertility, growth and development. Yav Ankur means sprouted barley, which appears the symbol of Chaddi Kala or all-round development, because it contains all types of tonics, vitamins and minerals, that is why it is also called green blood. In common language, it seems to mean to sacrifice everything for the heart, i.e. for love. Yogis are also like this, who leave their families and engage in worshiping their deity and attain knowledge. Worshiping that Kalash means worshiping the deity image etc. associated with shakti on the heart. Due to which it becomes more enlightened i.e. happy, just as by serving a person that person becomes happy. Worshiping with Veda mantras means giving more sharpness to that picture and making it clear, pure and luminous. Beejmantra also does the same. That mental meditation picture can be of anyone, Guru, beloved, deity, seed mantra etc. The amplified shakti along with that worshiped picture is then descended from Anahata Chakra to Swadhisthana and Muladhar Chakra. This is the anointing of that divine Linga with the water of the Kalash. In Abhishek, the stream of sacred power in the form of water flows continuously. Prokshan is called sprinkling of water. To bring down the Shakti from the heart pot again and again through morning and evening sadhana is the divine prokshan. Shatrudriya Mantra has various secret Mantras etc., which release various invisible waves, which have invisible divine spiritual effect on the mind of man. Although natural banalinga is found in the Narmada river, yet it seems that the arrow has been described as the seat or peetha of the Linga. When I inquired from Bing AI, it replied that a consecrated arrow is buried in the ground, and Shivalinga is installed on top of it. Maybe it is right. Because at many places such Shivalingas are seen which do not have a peetha or base. When asked, the priests etc. there tell that this Shivalinga is dug deep in the ground. It is possible that the arrow inside the ground may be its peetha. By the way, the shape of the peetha also resembles an arrow. Then beyond that, in common man’s language, only tantric or divine sexual intercourse is considered. Well, everyone may have their own opinion. Due to this, all the three worlds i.e. the entire body becomes calm and healthy i.e. it becomes established in its pure self, because all the worlds are present in the body itself. This is often seen in the world, that is why spoiled or spoiling youth are married off by their families in a hurry. After that I have seen many improvements in them. But nothing improves in someones. I also blame their wives for this, yet males may appear more responsible for this too. That is why it is said that only Parvati as the peetha can hold the Shivalinga. That’s why Imparting spiritual values to women was considered more important than to men, because woman is the foundation of the entire family. I heard a grown man express his personal opinion that if men were not married, they would eat each other raw, because wives control men. He himself married another woman after the death of his first wife. What has been said is correct. A friend was also saying that Tantric sex does not seem like sex at all, it becomes some other very sacred spiritual act. I think only foolish, negative, unsuccessful and heretical people vent their anger by putting both in one category. In a book, Love Story of a Yogi, when the author was asked by a woman about the main reason for his recent Kundalini awakening, instead of marking out his experience to the questioner, he narrated his experience to everyone and said that while meditating on the Kundalini picture on the sensation of Vajrashikha, he got his awakening. He attained awakening by moving it in and out of its receptacle, but what he did was not sexual intercourse. On this, that Western or possibly American woman asking the question present on the online Kundalini group pinpoints him with loving surprise and little funny style and tells him that in their country it was called sexual intercourse, she don’t know which strange culture or land he belongs to. After reading that by all group members, everyone’s communication in that group on that topic had stopped, but diverted it to the usefulness of tantra accepting its utmost importance in awakening. Meaning, the author had expressed his feelings and indirectly answered the main question. This story also seems like the ankhing technique of Egypt.
It is clear that the false propaganda spread by heretics or hindu opponents has been refuted in this story. The sage was very far-sighted. He knew that this could happen in the future. This story also reflects a common incident happening in the society, not any divine transcendental type etc. Unmarried teenagers are like that. They keep making gender-oriented jokes with girls whenever they get a chance. One of them is also the real knower of Shiva type Tantra. But people consider everyone to be the same lewd and scoundrel. It is said that along with the grain the mite also gets ground. How do public know who is true and who is a liar? Therefore, along with others, they also insult Shaiva and curse him, which means they also look upon him with evil eyes. In fact, the Shaiva linga is not a normal Linga. Due to the influence of Shaiva Tantra, it actually becomes the favorite deity. In a way, due to the effect of Sadhana, that Shaiva person becomes Linga form. Wherever he goes, in a way, his favorite linga is going in his form. The displeasure of that presiding deity troubles everyone, i.e. burns them. This can also happen, because the whole world is in the wandering minds of the people, and by being in the company of that presiding deity in the form of Shivalinga, they are getting disillusioned with their wandering minds, this can be called the burning of the world. Only a Tantrayogini like Parvati can wear that Maheshwar Linga properly, so that the meditation picture of the presiding deity can also be meditated along with it. An ordinary woman will not be able to cooperate in meditation. This means that the presiding deity will be angry and will remain without awakening. Kundalini activity without awakening can also be harmful, as it can go out of control. Uncontrolled power will burn everyone. Awakening shows man the true and complete form of power. And that form, though most beautiful and powerful, is also extremely peaceful. This keeps the man calm, meaning he remains in control of his awakened awareness.
I found this story to be the one of most meaningful story of Shivpuran. One can write as much as one wants on this. The answer to the question raised by the sages in the beginning whether Shivalinga is worshiped only because it is a Linga or there is some other reason, has been given in a very civilized manner. This is similar to the answer given by the above author. Meaning, Shivlinga is not the ordinary worldly linga, as the wicked, foolish, lustful scoundrel, Entangled in the illusion of materialism, very work-oriented, anti-religious or sexy type of people understand or talk about. It is surprising when many Hindus also fall under their influence and provocation, and start thinking the same way. Everywhere on social media etc. they ban considering Shivalinga as a part of Shiva’s body, saying that it is only a sign or symbol of Shiva, or only a symbol of union of Shivashakti, or a cosmic union, not of any physical so and so. Well, at their place and in a spirituoscientific sense they are right too, because there is nothing like ordinary worldly object or organ in it. Learning from them, Bing AI also says the same. In this case, if the heretics fall very low, then those so-called Hindu protectors rise very high. No one lives in the middle of the practical world i.e. on the middle path. Extremism is prohibited everywhere. The middle path is the best. This can be understood with an example. There is only one gun. One civilized man kills a terrorist with it, while another madman kills the general public. What is the fault of the gun in this? Similarly, the Shivalinga controlled by Yogi Shiva kills the demon in the form of ignorance, while on the contrary, the ordinary one used by the common people kills the gods in the form of knowledge. Once I met a tantric person, who was a friend of my friend. He had taken initiation from Guru in the famous Kamakshi temple. He was telling that in front of him a Tantrik had used his mind controlling art aka Vashikaran Vidya on a common and unknown woman passing through a crowded road, due to which she was ready to follow him and do anything with him when he called her. However, he was just testing his knowledge, so he stopped the vashikaran, due to which the woman went back on her way. True Tantriks never do wrong things, if they do they go straight to hell. It means that there is a similar Vashikaran secret hidden in the above mythological story, because for the people of old times, awakening was the most important achievement, for which they used to make the most efforts. Nowadays, many other sciences and arts are prevalent, for which people struggle a lot. Yet those mythological teachings may still survive in Guru traditions, which, if supported by the Crown, can be discovered and preserved for posterity.
