Why does Swami create the Divine Lingam ?

[Guest guest]

In January 1963, Swami gave a wonderful Discourse on the Sanctity and other Aspects of the Shiva Lingam. Excerpts of that Wonderful Discourse are reproduced below :THE LINGAM is the Absolute form of Divinity, It is from GOD'S NAVEL. The Lingam is the Purest Form of Divinity. Lord Shiva is associated with the Lingam because Shiva is the Purest Form of Divine Consciousness in every form. Shiva and the Lingam represent the Purest Form of Love. Once When Lord Shiva was deep in Meditation and Prayer, The Heat that Radiated from his Physical Form threatened to burn everything, As the God's stood before him in sincere prayer, Shiva started vomiting Fire continuously and after some time from his mouth came the Lingam, This Holy Lingam cooled Shiva's Divine heat and saved the World, That is how it came to be associated with

Shiva.Why Do I CREATE THE LINGAM?, Because when I take the Lingam out from my Physical Body, The Godliness of that Lingam spreads to each and everyone assembled there and who are praying to God. Many times people ask me "Swami why do you suffer so much Physically before the Lingam comes out of you ?, I do not suffer at all, It is only your reflections that see me in Distress, Why should I suffer ?, People suffer because they do wrong, When they see the Lingam, everybody becomes Purified, Swami undergoes Physical Suffering for his people to make them Understand that I take the sufferings of my people on me, This is nothing for me. It is you that should understand that Swami suffers because he wants all of you to live in peace and happiness always.Om Sai Ram
