A beautiful and large Indian stone Svayambhu
A beautiful and large Indian stone Svayambhu
This large lingam also known as Svayambhu represents the 'Primordial Cosmic Egg'.
Mystical tradition holds that this specific stone originated spontaneously and naturally over the centuries, making it known as the 'cosmic egg.' The term given to these sacred objects, means 'born of itself.' Its smooth, regular shape is also associated with the phallus, representing the primordial masculine energy of Shiva; the natural pattern on the stone is identified as feminine energy. The union of these two polarities allows for the dissolution of duality.
