The Eternal Archetype Shiva is the only one who can remove your karma. He is an embodiment of all the five elements namely Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Shiva Lingam is the holy symbol of Lord Shiva that is considered to be sacred. It is a rounded, elliptical, an-iconic image that is usually set on a circular base or peetha. According to some scholars, the Peetha embodies Parashakti, the manifesting power/supremacy of God. The power of lingam is the most glorious occurrence created by God in its vast array of creation. It denotes the truth that God does not have any definite form. It is symbolic of the creative power of the universe.
