---This online source says that there are 5 Shiva Lingams in India (associated with the 5 elements) but that the Arunachala Hill represents the fire element and extends 8 light years into the Heavens,...thus, being the biggest Limgam!:
as a vast spiritual organism, Shiva-Sirius would be your first stop. This is the portal in. The Shiva lingam at Arunachala is a five-mile wide golden column of light that stretches straight from Earth to Sirius. That's an 8 Light Year stretch; no wonder the myths say neither Brahma nor Vishnu could find the feet or crown of this lingam. The lingam takes you right out to the furthermost edge of the manifest, however subtle it is at Sirius, so that, metaphorically, your cognitive nose is right up against the membrane of the transcendent where, not cosmic space but rather the diffused face of God, or the Absolute, surrounds the galactic membrane and Shiva's circle of fire. Here we may equate Shiva and the lingam, as two expressions of the same reality, and at Arunachala you may perceive Shiva as a celestial figure or a sheer fire pillar.
