I have heard that Shiva lingas have naturally arisen in certain caves etc. in California and were dated to over 5000 years old. Any semblance of truth or fact here or just purple farts?
Furthermore, what is the real significance of the Linga? One interpretation I read was that it embodies the male & female principles and shows that it is ultimately one--another form of Ardharanishwara. What are some other 'thoughts' on the Linga? The Yoni interpretation is rather, um Freudian in nature IMO as those sots relate anything and everything to fornication of some sort. ;)
