damaru is known as an ower drum and generates spiritual energy symbolically, the creation of the world begins when lingam & yoni meet at the midpoint.

Shiva is often described as a cosmic dancer and a great musician. Shiva’s Tandavam is the cosmic dance and his Damaru (a small hourglass shape drum) represent the cosmic sound.

It is said in Shiva Mahapurana that the sounds from the damaru beat the rhythm of the cosmic vibrations and the energy is activated by the divine Mother or shakti.

Damaru is a symbol of infinity (the endless time). It represents that the universe is expanding and collapsing. from where it is expanding, it is collapsing there only. it’s an endless process. Damru creates cosmic rhythm and influences the movement of energy in the universe.

Various legends associated with it:

Damaru is often attributed to the Shiva’s famous dancing posture—the Nataraja. It is believed by many that the damaru produced the first sound also known as ‘nada’ in the universe. It was born in the void and Shiva danced to the rhythm of damaru, which led to the creation of this universe.

Another legend has it that the top of the damaru symbolizes male creativity of procreation (the Lingam), and the downward representation stands for female creativity of procreation (the Yoni).

Also, many say that the sound produced by beating the damaru was passed onto lord Ganesha, who added more sound and thus—music was born. Some even suggest that it stands for words of the Vedas.
