The Union of Shiva and Shakti
The Linga is often placed in the Yoni base.
This is not crude symbolism.
It is cosmic metaphysics:
• Shiva = pure consciousness
• Shakti = creative power
Together they are existence.
Without Shiva, Shakti is blind energy.
Without Shakti, Shiva is silent transcendence.
The Linga teaches unity of:
• stillness and movement
• absolute and world
• Nirguna and Saguna
