According to the Shivnirnay Ratnakar states...

It explains that worshipping a Shivling made of gold gives Punya million times more than worshiping Shivling made of stone. Similarly worshiping Shivling made of mani (Gemstones i.e. Manibaddha gives punya million times more then the Shivling made of gold. Further it explains that worshiping Narmadeshwar Banalinga gives million times more punya than worshiping Manibaddha Shivling. At the end it states that worshiping a purified auspicious Parad Shivling gives million times more punya than even the Narmadeshwar Banalinga. Thus it is clear that out of all the Shivling made of different materials and pilgrimage sites, one made of purified Parad (Mercury) is considered above par (excellent).


Mercury (Parad) is also known as quick silver or flowing metal. The glory of Parad Shivling has been stated in the puranas, shastras and tantra text. It is said to be the seed of Lord Shiva.  To contain or bind mercury is very difficult, that too by medicinal herbs only.

In the ancient grantha (book) named Parad Samhita many rare medicinal herbs are mentioned which can help in the process of purifying mercury and removing all the doshas (ill effect) from it to make it stable and solid. Some important herbs like Chitrak, Nakhshinkani, Vyagrapadhi, Shankpushpi, Bhilavaa, Putrajivika,Laajwanti, Neem, Shami, Soamlata, Jatamaasi, Vakratundi, Kanguni, Jalakumbhi, Mahakali, Dantimool, Kumpari, Devdaali, Aawala, Indravan, Bel, Safed palas, Dudhi, Shivlingi, Safed gunj ect. play an important role in the purification process. After this stage mercury (Parad) comes completely in a pure from by undergoing the Ashtasanskar (eight stages of purification) as per the Parad Samhita.

Only such stable and solid form of mercury can withstand at very high temperature when heated. It can also be made to powder by crushing as well as can be turned into liquid form by heating again.  This siddha Parad is then formed to make the unique Murtibaddha or Agnibaddha 'Parad Shivling'.  If it comes in contact with gold or gold plated ornaments it has the power to change the color of gold into white or silver in color. This itself proves the purity and authenticity of our products.

Significance of Parad Shivling in Tantra

All the metals and sub-metals found in the world send out waves. Mercury is also a metal and sends out its waves likewise. As mercury(Parad) is considered the most unstable among all the metals, similarly a persons mind is also very unstable and wavering.

Both are closely related. If mercury is stabilized by destroying its unsteadiness, its waves will also be stable and steady. This will cause a good effect on a persons mind. If one meditates beside a Parad Shivling, the mind naturally gets concentrated.

Therefore a compact form of mercury (Parad) is of great significance because it is extremely helpful in concentrating the mind. Mercury has a property of liquidity which, in itself involves the difficult process of solidification. It is believed that, to have a Shivling made of mercury (Parad) one must be blessed through good karmic deeds of the previous birth.

Mercury (Parad) is a very pious and sacred metal. Therefore it should not be immersed in any kind of hot or boiling liquid like milk, water etc. By doing so may cause mercury (parad) to become unstable thereby damaging the idols.

Suvarnapuri Rasling

In the world of metals mercury (parad) represents lord shiva and copper represents mata Parvati.  According to the ancient grantha Parad samitha only agnibaddha parad (solid mercury that can withstand in high temperature) is able to convert copper into a yellowish golden metal.  The shivlinga made from this metal is known as the 'Suvarna Rasling'.

Some specific medicinal herbs, roots and leaves have the ability to make mercury solid and withstand at high temperature (agnibaddha).  The Suvaranarupi Rasling is a product of this unique process of mixing agnibaddha Parad into purified copper.

Suvarnaroopi Rasling

According to ancient metallurgy, metals are also meant as representatives of gods. As mercury (Parad) is considered or said to be the seed of Lord Shiva, likewise gold and coper is also the representative of Mata Parvati (Mahadevi).



Making of Suvarna Rasling with Mercury (Parad) and Copper

After undergoing the process of ASHTASANSKAAR (eight stages of purification) as per the 'Parad Samhita', mercury (Parad) is called as 'Siddhaparad or Agnibaddha Parad. Only such Parad has the capacity to withstand a high temperature in the heating process, and only this agnibadhha Parad has the power of converting copper into a yellowish golden metal. Copper is melted in the furnace at a very high temperature about 1050 degrees and at the same time mercury is also melted separately. When both the metals melt down, mercury is slowly poured into the crucible of molten copper. This process of mixing the two metals result in a small explosion with a big crackling sound and thick smoke. The final result of this mixture is the new yellowish golden metal.

This metal is again melted in the furnace at about 1050 degrees and then die-casted to make the Shivlinga. A Shivlinga made from this new metal is known as the ‘Suvarna Rasling’ in Parad Samhita. After the final finishing treatments like grinding, buffing and polishing it is coated with a one gram gold plating which gives the Shivling its golden look.

Stage 8

Benefits of Parad Shivlinga

It had been explained in the ancient granths (book) like Ras Ratnakar, Ras Chandasu, Parad Samhita, Rasendara Chudamani ect. that by the very touch of such Parad Shivlinga a person gets the benefit of Shiv pooja in all the three lokas (cosmic worlds).

A person who acquires a Parad Shivling in his life and does correct ritualistic pooja and archana, reaps the benefits of worshiping all the Shivlingas present in the three lokas, or doing a hundred Ashwamedha yagyas, or donating ten million cows or donating ten thousand grams of gold etc.

By the worship of Parad Shivling, even the heinous sin of Brahmana-hatya, Gau-hatya, Bal-hatya (dosha due to killing of a brahmin, cow or child in previous births) can be totally washed off.

It is said in the Brahma-puranas that he who worships the Parad Shivling devotedly, whether one is a male, female, brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya or shurdra, gets full worldly pleasures and at last attains supreme destination (moksha) .

Parad has a special significance in Ayurveda too. Wherever the Parad Shivling is established, disease and illness does not stay there. It helps in controlling various diseases like high blood pressure, asthma and heart problems and help to increase ones will power.  There will never be shortage of food, wealth, money or clothing and will bring prosperity to ones house or office.
