The Lingashtakam is a strotram (hymn) in praise of Sri Shiva, also called Maheswara, Rudra, Pasupati etc. The Linga is a symbol for Shiva, just like Sankha (conch shell) and Chakra (discus wheel) are symbolic of Sri Vishnu. Linga also means the gender of a being. We have Stree Linga (Female gender), Pumlinga (Male Gender) and Napumsaka Linga (literally non-male Gender, but meaning neutral gender). The Lingasthakam Stotram is a prayer formed of eight salutations or invocations offered to the Supreme Deity in his aspect as Linga. Linga is the universal symbol of creation and source of everything. This prayer glorifies the Shiva Linga and details its greatness. Each stanza lists the God’s glory and the benefits of worshipping the Shiva Linga. It states that the linga is worshipped by Vishnu and Brahma as well. Filled with peace at all times, it destroys any suffering caused by the cycle of birth and rebirth. Worshipped by sages and gods, it is powerful enough to take away the pride of dreadful demons like Ravana. It burns away sexual desire. Adorned with fragrances, the Shiva Linga brings increased intelligence. Decorated with gold and precious stones and radiating the effulgence of shining gems, it even caused the destruction of Daksha. (Daksha was one of the sons of Lord Brahma. In the Hindu scriptures Daksha at one point insulted Shiva and Shiva destroyed him. Daksha was later forgiven by the merciful Shiva.) It is covered by sandal paste and kumkum and adorned with garlan...
