Yes. Shiva surely can help you. All the problems we encounter in our day to day life is due to the bad actions we did in our past life. These actions are carried out by the planets will execute the actions back on us. Shiva and his counter part shakti are the ruler of all the planets and one who worships them devotedly, will be protected from all problems. Shiva can be attainted by doing daily pooja for Shiva Lingas. You can get a Spatika linga, Prad Linga or Bana linga (the highest form of linga) and do pooja (abhiseka, mantra.. etc on it) to get his blessings. Rudraksha beads will wipe out most of the bad actions we did in the past. Smearing Holy ash on fore head also will help a lot. You can get Linga or Rudraksha beads online also. May Shiva- the god of auspicious showers blessing on you. Om Nama Shivaya!!!
Some claim that Kaaba (a black stone) in Mecca is actually Shiva Linga. They claim this by referring to the similarities between customs followed by Muslim during Hajj with customs followed in Hindu temples.However, for now, there is no solid proof to prove that Kaaba is in fact a Shiva Linga. And the research is still going on.Hence, until someone provides a legitimate proof, this question would be locked.
The linga, or lingam, represents the formless nature of Lord Shiva as the ultimate reality. It symbolizes creation, preservation, and dissolution of the universe. Worshiping Shiva in the form of a linga is believed to enable devotees to connect with his cosmic energy and experience spiritual growth.
Yes there is a black stone but it is not present inside the Ka'abah.It is merely placed on the eastern corner of the Ka'abah.It is known as al-Hajar al-Aswad in Arabic or The Black Stone.It is a meteor remnant from the time of Adam and Eve.Hence it is not a shiva linga and has no relation to the Hindu faith.
The Sanskrit word, 'Shiven' means 'of LORD SHIVA'. Shiva is an adjective meaning auspicious, kind, gracious. Shiva is a major Hindu god. In the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism, Shiva is seen as supreme God. Followers of Hinduism who focus their worship upon Shiva are called Shaivites or Shaivas. Shiva is usually worshipped in the form of 'Shiva linga'. In images, he is generally represented as immersed in deep meditation or dancing the Tandava upon maya, the demon of ignorance in his manifestation of Nataraja, the lord of the dance. In some other Hindu denominations, Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva represent the three primary aspects of the divine in Hinduism and are collectively known as the Trimurti or trinity. In this school of religious thought, Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer or preserver, and Shiva is the destroyer or transformer.
Ravana brought Lord Shiva's "Atma linga" but was tricked by lord Ganesha at the behest of other devatas, to leave it at Gokarna (now in Karnataka coastal town in south India) (not in Rameshwara)

Hi, As I understand it, the Sanskrit name Nishkala is comprised of two Sanskrit parts: Nish, meaning "without" and Kala meaning "time" or "division", since it is by division that time is created. Thus Nishkala means "without time" or "without division"-without division in the sense of, "that which is whole, not because it became whole, but because it was always whole". Nishkala is also the linga form of Shiva or the unmanifest form of Shiva.
