Ling Puran

This is the Fifth Puran and one of the major eighteen Puranas. The Ling Puran contains Hindu religious text which explores the origins of universe, origins of Linga and emergence of Brahma, Vishnu and all the Vedas. Ling Puran is about the greatness of Lord Shiva and propagation of Linga-Puja.

For all the delusion of the world, Shiva is both invisible as well as the root cause, which is the reason that Shiva is also known as Alinga, which means unknowable. Linga is the non-manifested form of Shiva. Through Ling Puran, Lord Shiva sometimes directly conveys the importance of worship of the Linga and the correct rituals required to be followed during the puja of Linga.

The origin of the Linga is described in the first part of the Ling Puran. Linga is also described as the distinctive sign through which it is possible to identify the character of someone. As per the Ling Puran, Shiva is signless, with no colour, taste or smell, beyond word and tough, without quality, changeless and motionless.

All Vedas and other scriptures had emerged from the Shivling (including Brahma, Vishnu and all other deities). Ling Puran is explores the importance of worship of Linga and the correct customs to be followed during the puja of the Linga. This book was published by Diamond Books in 2003 and is available in paperback.
