Well & Wish to hear the same from you. A Small Writeup on a Doubt most of the Devotees get especially when worshiping shiva during the Auspicious Month of Shravan. Monday is a Day to pray Shiva. Then why do they worship a stone (shivlinga) & Why not Murti or Photo of Shiva himself?
Q. Guru ji, its shravan's 1st Monday. Day of all devotees to pray Shiva. Then why do they worship a stone (shivlinga) Why not murti or photo of Shiva himself?
A: That's the speciality of our ancestors. They were Master in Spiritual Science. Shiva was never born. Shiva is not a body. Shiva is energy, Shiva Tatva which commands whole creation. His body is just imagination made out of knowledge of his energy. And its secret.
The 7 secrets about Shiva :
#1 Why Snake?
Snakes are a symbol of awareness.
You can't be asleep with a snake around your neck!
#2 Why Ashes?
To remind you of the impermanence of life; knowing that we live life fully.
#3 Is the Moon an Ornament?
The moon and the mind are connected. To be happy in all phases of life, you have to have a say over the mind.
#4 Why Damru?
It has the same shape as the symbol of infinity. Shiva is the unbound infinite consciousness!
#5 Trishul - A Weapon?
Shiva rules over the three gunas represented in the trishul. Yet he encourages everyone to do their dharma - to act and stand up for truth.
#6 Blue Bodied
The sky is limitless and so is Shiva.
The sky is blue and Shiva is blue too.
#7 Why Ganga?
Ganga represents gyan (knowledge). Wisdom dawns naturally when you are established in the Shiva.
The cave is called Kedareshwar. The four pillars represent four yugas - satya yuga, tretha yuga, dwapara yuga and Kali yuga. It is believed that when a yuga ends, one pillar breaks down. The only pillar remaining is Kali yuga.
The water around the linga is oozing from the cave rock and is in sub zero temperature even though the surroundings are not that cold. The only time when there is no water around linga is, surprisingly during the rainy season. But u cannot reach the cave during that time since a huge stream will cover the path!

With Sai's Luv & Best Wishes.
God Bless you All.
