linga means a mark , in sanskrit.it is a symbol which points to an inference.the vast world of countless forms is a Linga of the omnipotent lord.the siva linga is a symbol of lord siva .some earlier islamic scholars, later western writers and now zakir naik often use the concept of 'male generative organ' as the basis for their interpretation. biggest siva linga is in kaaba - an ancient shiva temple which muhammad did not destroy because he was affraid. "had i not seen the prophet kiss you , i would not kiss you myself.caliph omar addressing the black stone of kaaba (quoted by Zwemer (3)p150, and shaih bukhari)

mr saif, its ok that u have become atheist, its ur personal decision & i m not going to comment on it. first of all let me tell u that linga means male external reproductive organ (P*N*S). According to shiv puran when lord shiva was doing dhyan, Indra the head of all devas worried about his portfolio & send urvashi & menka to distort shiva from his dhyan when menka & urvashi started sexual dance in front of shiva he order his organ to go & screw both menka & urvashi started flying to devlok, & shiva's organ was keep on increasing & chasing them from there lord vishnu was moving & he saw the scenario & got worried, he threw his chakra & cut that organ in 16 pieces which droped on earth, called as jyotirlinga, one of them is amarnath. This is hindu mythology, all pieces dropped in india only & all jyotirlinga is inindia only, so according to sacred books of hindus there is no proof that kaba has any shivling we muslims never worship stone or any organ or any object except one god The stone (sang-i-aswat) is precious because it is used in kaba by prophet & by giving ur quote of sahi bukhari it is clear that it is merely a stone nothing else

first all ,mr zane ,let me clearify u that linga means mark, in sanskrit.can u show me where from u read that linga means reproductive organ. regarding shiv puran ,all these books were courrpted during muslim rule in india.your logic and reasoning comes from lies propogated by zakir naik.if u have to understand hinduism , go through books like gita,upanishads and vedas.in my opinion upanishads are better than any other religious books. about stone of kaaba it is controversial, what it is actually .as per its shape it looks like siva linga and some islamics books in turkey wriiten 1000 years or more back indicate that it was constructed by an indian king .as per books of shahih bukhari there were 5ooo indians living in arabia during muhammed 's time

Tony Perera, i guess u/ur wifr r doing the same thing in your home or doing it in all homes , thats y u pictured it very clearly as u do everyday.
Shiv ling is considered as the representation of Lord Shiva, all devotees worship it. In Amarnath every year this structure gets formed automatically by freezing of ice. For the purpose of darshan of that Shiv ling evey year Amarnath Darshan Yatra is organized.
