Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

Yoniliṅga (योनिलिङ्ग) refers to “the Liṅga in the core of Kubjikā’s maṇḍala”, which is represented by a triangle with a point in the centre. The Triangle emerges from the Point and collapses back into it. The nature and dynamics of this relationship is complex, as is the reality it represents. They are not only the Liṅga, which normally represents the male polarity, they are equally the Yoni, the female one and both together. In other words this ‘Yoniliṅga’ is the Yoni which is the Liṅga, the Liṅga which is the Yoni as well as the composite Yoni and Liṅga.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
