The Legend of Parad (Mercury) Shiva Linga The Gods, who frequently took a beating in the hands of the Rakshasas (demons), went to Lord Brahma for a lasting solution. Lord Brahma told them that only a warrior born out of Shaktipunj (semen of Lord Shiva) can lead the Gods to victory. The Gods prayed Lord Shiva who agreed and approached Goddess Parvati to conceive a son. The Gods sent Agni, the God of fire, in the form of a pigeon to observe the great event. Lord Shiva found this out and released His semen in the fire of Agni. Even the God of fire couldnt bear the heat of Lord Shivas reproductive force and dropped it it in the holy waters of river Ganges. Mother Ganges also couldnt stand the heat and released it on Earth. After being sanctified by the holy fire and sacred waters of Ganges it became Mercury or Para the only metal in liquid form. The solid form of mercury is popularly known as Parad. Solidifying mercury is an ancient Vedic science. Dharnidhar Samhita has given sixteen steps through which the liquid mercury has to pass to make it pure & beneficial. Then mercury can be molded into any solid form.A number of vedic references point out to the holistic benefits of Parad Shivalinga. Shivnirnaya ratnakara states that theres no better Shivalinga ever made than the one made out of mercury. In Sarvadarshana Sangraha, Lord Shiva says to Goddess Parvati that anyone who worships the Linga made out of solid mercury will face no death, disease or dearth. Its mentioned in Rudrasamhita that Parad Shivalinga embodies the power of Lord Shiva & one can attain anything desired through its worship. Rasarnaavtantra states that one can receive a billion-times more good blessings through the worship of a Parad Shivalinga than that one can receive through worship of a billion ordinary stone Shivalingas. Rasratnakar says worship of a Parad Shivalinga showers one oneself a happy long-life, wealth, health, power, beauty & youth. Rasratnakara also mentions that whatever a devotee spends on acquiring a Parad Shivalinga, Lord Shiva blesses him a lot more in terms of wealth, grain &

peace. Shivnirnaya ratnakara says that a gold Shivalinga is billion times more powerful than a ordinary stone one, a gem Shivalinga is billion times more potent than a gold one, but a Parad Shivalinga is billion times more effective than a gem one & can bestow immense benefits to its worshipper even through a simple darshan (sight). Maharishi Vashist suggests a Parad Shivalinga for attainment of peace & harmony to anyone whos sinned in his entire life. Maharishi Yadnyavalkaya says that one cant understand why man is full of sorrow, violence & poverty, when one can achieve peace & harmony though the worship of Parad Shivalinga.
