Although Hindus worship female sexual organ (e.g In Kamakhya Temple) the meaning of Shiv Lingam and Yoni is always wrongly presented by invaders (Especially western scholars). Just as every word has different meanings in other languages, similarly Shiva Lingam came to be misinterpreted after the 11th century onwards. Those people who mistook the real meaning of the Sanskrit word Lingam and then they spread its misinterpretation among Hindus and also among all over the world. Even today also a lot of women don't even touch Shiva Lingam by misunderstanding it as a Sexual organ of Lord Shiva.
Meaning of Shiv Lingam!
Shiva Lingam is not just a simple symbol. You can see the smallest form of nature in the form of Shiva Lingam, it represents the atomic structure. As per sage Veda Vyasa (The writer of Mahabharat), Lord Shiva is greater than anything greatest and also Lord Shiva is smaller than subatomic particles like Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. Shiva Lingam represents the entire cosmos and the cosmos is in the shape of the ellipsoid. And that ellipsoid represents neither the beginning nor the end.Picture courtesy- Temple Science
Even Swami Vivekananda had described Shiva Lingam as a symbol of eternal Brahma. As per the scientist, Niels Bohr,s scientific research shows that " The molecules are made up of atoms that consist of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons which performs an important role in the structure of Shiva Lingam.
In the same way, Shiva Lingam consists of three parts the bottom part remains underground represents Lord Brahma (Electron with a negative electric charge) the creator, the middle part remains on the pedestal represents Lord Vishnu (Proton with a positive electric charge) the preserver and the top part which we generally worship represents Lord Shiva (Neutrons without any electric charge) the Destroyer. The whole three parts together represent Shakti.
