Jyotirlinga


A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirling or Jyotirlingam ((サンスクリット:ज्योतिर्लिङ्ग)), (Devnagari: ज्योतिर्लिंग) is a devotional object representing the Supreme God Shiva. ''Jyoti'' means 'radiance' and ''lingam'' the 'Image or Sign' of Shiva; ''Jyotir Lingam'' thus means the The Radiant Sign of The Almighty Siva. There are twelve traditional Jyotirlinga shrines in India.
It is believed that Lord Shiva first manifested himself as a Jyotirlinga on the night of the Arudra Nakshatra, thus the special reverence for the Jyotirlinga. There is nothing to distinguish the appearance, but it is believed that a person can see these lingas as columns of fire piercing through the earth after he reaches a higher level of spiritual attainment.
==Legend==
According to ''Śiva Mahāpurāṇa'', once Brahma (the god of creation) and Vishnu (the form of God during Preservation) had an argument over supremacy of creation. To settle the debate, Supreme God Shiva pierced the three worlds appearing as a huge Infinite Pillar of Light, the ''Jyotirlinga'' which later cooled into the Holy Mountain Annamalai (on which the Temple of Arunachaleshvara is located). Vishnu and Brahma split their ways to downwards and upwards respectively to find the end of the light in either directions. Brahma lied that he found out the end, while Vishnu conceded his defeat. The ''jyotirlinga'' is the Supreme Siva, partless reality, out of which Shiva appeared in another Form, Lingodbhava. The ''jyothirlinga'' shrines are Temples where Shiva appeared as a fiery column of light.〔Eck 1999, p. 107〕〔Gwynne 2008, Section on Char Dham〕 Originally there were believed to be 64 ''jyothirlingas'' while 12 of them are considered to be very auspicious and holy.〔 Each of the twelve ''jyothirlinga'' sites take the name of the presiding deity, each considered a different manifestation of Shiva.〔Lochtefeld 2002, pp. 324-325〕 At all these sites, the primary image is ''lingam'' representing the beginningless and endless ''Stambha'' pillar, symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva.〔〔Harding 1998, pp. 158-158〕〔Vivekananda Vol. 4〕 The twelve ''jyothirlinga'' are Somnath in Gujarat, Mallikarjuna at Shrishailam in Andhra Pradesh, Mahakaleswar at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, Omkareshwar in Madhya Pradesh, Kedarnath in Uttrakhand, Bhimashankar at Pune in Maharashtra, Viswanath at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Tryambakeshwar at Nashik in Maharashtra, Vaidyanath Temple at Parli, Maharashtra , Aundha Nagnath at Aundha in Hingoli District in Maharashtra, Rameshwar at Rameshwaram in Tamil Nadu and Grushneshwar at Ellora near Aurangabad, in Maharashtra.
