Shiva Lingam [EPUB ebook] 
the phallic cult

India, beyond all other countries on the face of the earth, is pre-eminently the home of the worship of the Phallus-the Linga puja; it has been so for ages and remains so still. This adoration is said to be one of the chief, if not the leading dogma of the Hindu religion, and there is scarcely a temple throughout the land which has not its Lingam, in many instances this symbol being the only form under which the deity of the sanctuary is worshipped.
