I don't know the Vedas that well, but what I do know is that the iconoclastic argument is false, since if it's central critique were taken seriously, life and culture would become impossible. To worship God, even in the mind, with "form" (attributes) would then have to be an "idolatry" - which perhaps it is, but for some, a necessary one.

very nice alter Prabhu, i noticed the Deity behind the Lingam. i hope i wont offend if i ask 1) is the Deity installed ? 2) do you worship Lord Shiva as a personality ? and 3) what form of Lord Shiva does the deity represent ? thank You , HARIBOL

very well said.
and the guys comment about Shiva is rubbish.
those who are not very educated in Hindu dharma often perceive Shiva as negative, without shiva the continuation of everything is impossible.
Brahma cannot create before Shiva Destructs.
to put it simply you cant turn a light on again before you turn it off.

According to Dr Yadubamshi, during the period before the hymns of the Yajuveda had been composed but later than the Rig and Atharvavedic periods, a non-Aryan god was fused with God Rudra. This non-Aryan god, he adds, was worshiped by some tribes in the Himalayan valleys, including the Kiratis. (Shaivamata :The Shaiva Sect)
Today Kirat people still live in the Himalayas region especially Nepal.
check the video --> "sakela~the greatest festival of kirat people"

Folks type "sakela~ the greatest festival of Kirat people" and one will learn more about Kirat's history, religion and culture who are believed to have started the worshiping of phallus stone.
Also type" Kirat temple"
You will see three stones which are the main deities of Kirat people but you won't see Shiva statue unlike other Hindu temple.
Kirat are the Indo-Mongoloid people who are the natives of the ancient India.
Google Kiratas and wiki will give more insight about this people.

The lingam is a sign/symbol of matter within the universe(Yoni)
My dear friend,
I have collected and shared Shiva Lingams over 30 years, and have just finished writing a book on the subject. My information and historical facts come from many sources, including fables, elder tales, etc. I am so impressed and inspired by your video. Please let the negative and any hurtful comments left here by others disapate into the sky.
Enjoy the blessings of the day in serving others. Thank you.

First of all, I'm not a Hindu, so please don't think I'm proselytizing.
My belief is that all names, images, and ideas about the Transcendental Reality are vain imaginations. The problem is not in the worship of any specific conception of God. The problem is the delusion that any one specific conception of God is existentially true and therefore the One to worship (and it is better if I worship your imagined True Form of God - since only you have the inside scoop on God's Form;-).

Don't waste time trying to define God, simply accept and live the Divine Life.
True religion is to feed the hungry, comfort the sick, protect the helpless, and encourage those without hope.
