Is Shiva's Male Organ not Worshipped

by Hindu Women?

 

    There is nothing new or surprising when it is said that the Hindu "Religious customs, such as Karva Chauth openly propagate male-worship."

 

    What is the worship of Shivalinga by the Hindus, especially by the women? It is nothing but the worship of the male organ or Penis of Shiva by the women who desire to have children? So Shiva can be considered as the God of Fertility by the Hindus.

 

    Shiva is the most prominent God of the Hindus, who is mainly known as the God of Destruction. From very ancient times, the devout Hindus believe that when Shiva gets infuriated, he starts his Taandav Dance or the Dance of Destruction. It is also believed that the enraged Shiva can even open his third eye which can throw the flames of his blazing fire for destroying anything and everything. 

 

    I cannot understand why the God of Destruction, Shiva, is also worshipped as the God of Fertility? Fertility should actually be associated with Creation.

CELEBRATING MANHOOD:

Religious customs, such as Karva Chauth openly propagate male-worship.

 

The Indian family has been a long-standing site for reinforcing and perpetuating male privilege and entitlement.

 

 

Sexual crimes derive from social attitudes and no serious effort at lessening their occurrence can ever depend upon cosmetic measures such as greater policing and calls for the death penalty.
