Lingam Yoni

Lingam and yoni stand for the principle of oppositeness that determines the everyday perception of our world of appearances. The union of the two leads to the realization of the oneness of all phenomena. The snake around the phallic symbol represents the goal of freeing the human mind from its limitations and harmful thinking in categories - such as male or female, divine or human.
