The lingam shape in the Singing Bowl is often associated with the concept of cosmic energy and the unmanifest form of Shiva. The Singing Bowl represents the union of male and female principles and is considered a symbol of divine consciousness and spiritual transformation. Devotees of Shiva often worship the lingam as a way to connect with the divine and seek blessings, purification, and spiritual growth. Here are some of the key representations and interpretations of the lingam: * Representation of Lord Shiva: The primary and most widely recognized symbolism of the lingam is that it represents Lord Shiva, one of the principal deities in Hinduism. The lingam serves as a physical and symbolic representation of Shiva's divine presence. * Cosmic Energy and Creation: The shape of the lingam, often cylindrical or egg-shaped, is seen as a symbol of the cosmic pillar or axis, representing the axis of the universe and the generative power of the divine. It is associated with the idea of creation and the unmanifest form of the divine. * Union of Male and Female Energies: The lingam is sometimes interpreted as a symbol of the union of male (lingam) and female (yoni) energies.
