The significance of the Linga :

As we have known,modern science is now starting to agree that everything comes from nothing and goes into nothing... For instance.. a whole huge galaxy just goes into nothing - the black hole.Nothingness is the basis of somethingness.Everything came from nothing and goes to nothing.

Now,the mind blower here is that , in the process of nothingness turning into something,that is when the unmanifest moves into the directed of the manifest , the first form that the energy takes is the shape of an ellipsoid. Now, a perfect ellipsoid is what is known as a Shiva Linga.So .. in a nutshell, during a manifestation, the first form that energy takes is the shape of a Shiva Linga.

Now modern science has enabled photograph of many galaxies , and have concluded the very core of the galaxies is an ellipsoid, that is a shiva linga.

Now in a crucial point of meditation,when you start loosening from your body, the energy that you observe taking place is in the shape of an ellipsoid..So the final form and the initial form of a manifestation is in the form of an ellipsoid.
