Rig Veda 7.21.5 …Let our true God subdue the hostile rabble: let not the lewd[ShishanDeva] approach our holy worship.
The
Sanskrit word here is Shishan+Deva which means Penis Worshipers. The
word Shishan (also spelled Sisna) means Penis. Maharshi Yaska explains
this verse in his book Nirukta,
”May he, the noble one, defy the manifold creatures, let phallus worshippers not penetrate our sanctuary.
May he overpower them, i.e. the manifold creatures who are hostile to us. Let the phallus worshippers, i.e. the unchaste Sisna (phallus) is derived from (the root) snath (to pierce) not approach our sanctuary, i. e. our truth, or sacrifice.”-Nirukta 4.19
Now who else could this Phallus worshippers be other than the Shiva Lingam worshippers.
Unlike
some modern Hindu scholars who refuse to give the actual meaning of
Shiva Linga, the Tantra or Tantric tradition of Hinduism maintains that
Shiv Ling represents the male sexual organ and is worshiped for virility
(and for some other reasons also), they quote this passage as proof for
Penis worship,
”Mahadeva
[Shiva] said: A Sadhaka wishing to worship a yoni, which is the form of
the cosmos, should cause an erection and insert it into that thing
which is Sakti Herself. The vagina is Mahamaya and the penis is
Sadasiva. Worshipping them, one becomes liberated while still alive;
there is no doubt off it. One should offer bali, flowers and so forth.
If incapable of this, worship with wine, O Durga. One should do
pranayama and my six limbed puja in the yoni region. After reciting the
mantra 108 times at the base of the yoni, one should rub the linga and
the yoni together.”- [Source: http://www.tantric-goddess.org/yoni_tantra.htm ]
