[size=6][b]GREATNESS OF SHIVALINGA--PILLAR OF FIRE--[/b][/size]

[size=5][b]OMKAR[/b][/size]

According to Suta, if a person is incapable of following the above mentioned three activities i.e.
Shravana, Kirtan and Manan then he should worship the Shivalinga. Even by doing this he can
attain liberation from all the bondages of the world.
Describing about the majesty of Shivalinga, Suta says: "Lord Shiva is the manifestation of
Almighty God (Brahma) himself and for this very reason he is known as Nishkal. Because of his
divine beauty, Shiva is called Saguna (God with form). The term Saguna is also expressed in
another way, that is Sakal. Shivalinga is worshipped since it symbolizes the form of Shiva. Lord
Shiva is also considered to be Nirguna (without any qualities.)"
"In the first Kalpa of Swet Varaha, a battle was fought between Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu
to prove their superiority. Lord Shiva manifested before arrogance. After that he also showed
them his form in the shape of Shivalinga. From that day onwards the Shivalinga became
famous."
Nandikeshwarji narrates the tale of battle between Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu....

Somnath Jyothirlinga Significance:

Ancient Indian traditions maintain a close relationship of Somnath with release of Chandra (Moon God) from the curse of his father-in-law Daksha Prajapati. Moon was married to Twenty-Seven daughters of Daksha. However, he favoured Rohini and neglected other queens. The aggrieved Daksha cursed Moon and the Moon lost power of light. With the advice of Prajapita Brahma, Moon arrived at the Prabhas Teerth, built a Shivlinga and worshipped Bhagvan Shiva. Pleased with the great penance and devotion of Moon, Bhagvan Shiva blessed him and relieved him from the curse of darkness partially letting the periodic waning of the Moon. Lord Shiva decided to rest in that Lingam till eternity, and hence called Jyotirlingam. Pauranic traditions maintain that Moon had built a golden temple, followed by a silver temple by Ravana, Bhagvan Shree Krishna is believed to have built Somnath temple with Sandalwood.

another version:

The crescent moon is shown on the side of the Lord's head as an ornament. The waxing and waning phenomenon of the moon symbolizes the time cycle through which creation evolves from the beginning to the end. Since the Lord is the Eternal Reality, He is beyond time. Thus, the crescent moon is only one of His ornaments. The wearing of the crescent moon in his head indicates that He has controlled the mind perfectly.

what I heard is different..

Both Kaalabhairava and Brahma has 5 heads.....but Brahma wants to prove that he is supreme...aa vidham ga godava start avutundi...then Sivudu kaalabhairavuni roopam lo Oka Thala narikesthadu

next ilaage maataldadu ani naaluka kuda narikeddam anukuntaadu Brahma di....Then Brahma (who came out of Vishnuv's Nabhi - Padmam) and Ammavaru whose hands (padmamu vale untayi kabatti)

Brahma asks -- Amma nenu nee bidda ni...nuvve nannu kaapaadali

then Brahma hides under the hands (arachetulu) of Ammavaaru (Just like aaserwadinchadaniki chetulu thala meeda pedatam kadaa..alaa).... Ammavaarini chusi Kaalabhairavudu shatnam chendutaadu..thats how Brahma survives with his life...


This is the story I've came heard :)
