Sri Lingashtakam is one of the most famous bhajans
dedicated to Lord Shiva. Lingashtakam extols the greatness of Linga or Lingam
– the symbol of Lord Shiva. It is believed that Lord Shiva appeared in the
form of a pillar of fire with no end or beginning. Lingam is an attempt to give
form to formless Brahman. It is considered highly auspicious to listen to
Lingashtakam during Mahashivaratri or Shivratri.
