A Hindu Puja, or temple priest, conducts a sacred ritual over a Linga stone, a symbol of a cosmic pillar representing the energy and potential of God, from which emerged the Lord Shiva, having no beginning and no end, a sign of emergence and mergence.

He pours over milk mixed with water in the form of mythical water that can transformation from mortality to immortality by raising the power of Shakti, the primordial cosmic forces, the divine feminine creative power that move through the entire universe.
