Parad (Mercury) Shivlingam

पारद शिवलिंग ( Parad (Mercury) Shivlingam ) से धन-धान्य, आरोग्य, पद-प्रतिष्ठा, सुख आदि भी प्राप्त होते हैं। नवग्रहों से जो अनिष्ट प्रभाव का भय होता है, उससे मुक्ति भी पारद शिवलिंग से प्राप्त होती है।

पारद शिवलिंग की भक्तिभाव से पूजा-अर्चना करने से संतानहीन दंपति को भी संतानरत्न की प्राप्ति हो जाती है। 12 ज्योतिर्लिंग के पूजन से जितना पुण्यकाल प्राप्त होता है उतना पुण्य पारद शिवलिंग के दर्शन मात्र से मिल जाता है।

Parad (Mercury) Shivlingam represents the confluence of the divine and Maya (illusion), the congregation of nature and male, and the union of Lord Shiva & Goddess Parvati. Parad Shivlinga also symbolizes Lord Shiva (Mahamrityunjay – Conqueror of Death). The splendour of Parad which is believed to be the semen (seed) of Lord Shiva finds mention in the Puranas, Shastras and Tantra text. Maha Shivratri falling on 8th of March, 2016 is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals. People observe fast on this day in order to please Mahadeva (Shiv). It is a grand night of Lord Shiva where Lord Shive and Shakti merge, also represented by Parad.

As per the Vedas, Parad is the purest and auspicious metal with high religious importance. In Bramha Purana, it is also mentioned that the individual who worships Parad idols loyally, gets full worldly pleasures, and eventually attains salvation.

It is also believed that an individual will be able to fulfil his goals – religion, health, desire, and salvation by worshipping Parad Shivling. In the ancient scriptures such as ‘Ras Ratnakar’, ‘Ras Chandasu’, ‘Parad Samhita’, ‘Rasendara Chudamani’ it is mentioned that by a mere touch of Parad Shivling, a person will get the benefit of Shiv Puja in all the three Lokas.
