only these fantastic accounts the scriptural writings, but the
evidence of enactment of such magnificent sports and the places of
action are existing and striking the
and persuading to take the truth at face value, since deceit false
face or pretentious looks cannot enter the precincts of the rides of
gods, much less dreams of defiling their sanctity.
That selection though
harder than the Herculean task reached its destination at long last.
There sighted then another poser - whether linga - Phallus, the
visible representation of that invisible omnipotent, be given space,
i.e. or does it need description, or elucidation at all, since
except in the size everywhere it is cylindrical in form with a
rounded top and mostly black granite.
Further, the fact
that the accepted emblems-linga and yoni are nothing but the symbols
of biological act, instrumental for the creation of all the living
creatures in the world need space. This significant import needs no
concealment nor its explanation be deemed indecent. For at
Gudimallam, near Tirupati, Vide No. 119 the linga is so made to
resemble the male genital organ in upraised position. These
pure symbols of universal parents indispensable for production of
Iife must be venerated without reservation at the first sight
itself.
