I'm looking at this post, but I fail to see where the bias is. Some of
these literal translations can be unintentionally comical but
"manifestation of the God Shiva's sexual organ" is a pretty accurate
description of a Shivalinga. Linga means penis you know. "Holy Amarnath
cave" is holy because it contains a murti of Shiva Bhagawans' penis. Does
that bother you? Why?
