what is shivlinga ?

'''Shivlinga is a very sacred form of god where the person can escape untimely death by praying to it.It is form of god which gives life to people who pray to it in temples with mantras and rituals. In india every temple has the shiv linga and flocks of people pray to it .If you see largest shivlinga in arunachal Pradesh it is not having a base also. http://travel.sulekha.com/world-largest-shivlinga_arunachal-pradesh-travelogue-1356.htm But people have strange ideas and stories to pollute minds of people about god also so they represent it to a sex symbol or male – female symbol. It is just the lord shiv who is formless who did not want to be either be distinguished as a man or woman but be formless. Even there is a story of bheel offering his eyes to a shivlinga. it is very dirty mind depicting shiva as a sex symbol and is greatest sin on this earth .It is used while doing the pooja of mahamrityunjaya shiva. Mahakaal is in form of linga and in place of shivlinga you will find face of shiv being carved because anyone may not be confused that it is some dirty organ or sexual form but only lord shiva himself Maha mrityunjaya is a call for enlightenment and is a practice of purifying the karmas of the soul at a deep level. It is also said to be quite beneficial for mental, emotional, and physical--Sumansri (talk) 06:47, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Bold text'''
