Significance Of Parad Shivalinga In Your Life And At Home

There are hundreds of ways to pray to the most benevolent Mahadev. But one of the most common forms of prayer is to worship him through Shivlingam.

Normally, people visit a temple to offer their prayers and get Bhagwan Shivji’s blessing. But you can experience the same miraculous and peaceful grace when you welcome Bhagwan Shiva in the form of Parad Shivalinga in your home.

Parad comes from the word ‘Para’, which means mercury metal in the many local languages in India. Parad is the purest and most refined mineral element. Hence, Parad Shivalinga is the most revered form of Shivalinga.

The interesting fact about mercury is that even in the most solid form, this metal remains liquid. Hence, while making the Shivalinga, mercury is purified and solidified through many unique processes.

Since this Shivalinga is made by Mercury, it is also called Rasamani Shivalinga.

When the universe faces a crisis, everyone runs to Bhagwan Mahadev Shankar. The same thing happened once when the world was unequipped, helpless and facing the negative energies of demons.

In this critical time, the creator Shri Bhramha, and the Preserver, Shri Vishnu, decided to reach out to Bhagwan Shiva, who was deeply engrossed in meditation. Normally, no one could dare to disturb the meditative state of the father of the Universe. But tough times as such call for a tough decision.

When Bhagwan Shiva opened his eyes, he was so angry that he manifested his destructive form, known as Bhairava.

To calm Bhagwan Shiva, Bhagwan Brahma and Bhagwan Vishnu worshipped him with a shivlinga made of mercury. This mercury shivalinga had calming properties and was the best stake of Bhagwan Vishnu and Bhagwan Brahma.

At last, Shiva Ji was pleased with the devotion and returned to his peaceful form.

This story is considered to explain the origin of the parad shivlinga and its spiritual significance in Sanatan Dharma.

With this story, it can be strongly said that worshipping a Parad Shivlinga brings peace and calmness to mind and soul. And that it helps in removing negative energies.

Parad shivlinga is also considered to be a symbol of Bhagwan Shiva and is worshipped as a representation of the divine.

According to the Vedic scriptures, worshipping Bhagwan Shiva in the form of Shivlinga brings many blessings and benefits.

So, when you bring Parad Shivling at home, you open your doors for infinite fortune, good health, and the overall spiritual safety of your family members. In fact, the mere sight of this mercury Shivling is considered sacred.

Bhagwan Shiva himself steps into your home in the form of Pure Parad Shivalinga and showers you with abundance, power, and positive strength. With that, he also takes away your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual pains.

That being said, the worship of Parad Shivalinga is an excellent way to increase the abundance in your workspace, office, and at home.

But, along with that, there are also countless benefits of placing a mercury shiva linga in your home and praying to it.

It is said that even the greatest sinner can get rid of all his sins if they worship Shiva through Parad Shivalinga.
