Shivling Lord Shiva Idol with jalhari and similar items

The Shivaling is a representation of the Hindu divinity Shiva used for love as a part of temples. In traditional Indian culture, the Shivaling is fairly seen as an image of the energy and capability of God, Shiva himself. The Shivaling is often represented alongside the yoni, a symbol of the goddess or of Shakti, female creative energy. The union of Shivaling and Yoni speaks to the "unbreakable two-in-unity of male and female, the passive space and active time from which all life originates" it is believed that this evolving world, the shivling is the most straight forward indication of development. 5 mukhi Rudraksha represents Lord ?Rudra Kalagni? which symbolizes the 5 forms of Lord Shiva. This auspicious rudaksha helps awaken one?s higher self means ?Upa Guru? and through that to God. Hence it is the most widely worn bead by students and sages since ancient times. The planet associated with 5 mukhi rudraksha is Jupiter. Hence, 5 mukhi is associated with learning, developing one?s own uniqueness. It is also associated with optimism and growth ((including mental and spiritual growth).
