Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 || Jai Sadguru Dutta || Arunji, In my opinion, it is better for you to continue with your family tradition and customs. Parad lingam and Parad Shree Chakrams are not for householders. It is widely used by "mantriks" and "tantriks". The disadvantage/danger of idols/symbols made of "paarad" (mercury) is that it will be absorbing all the malefic affects of planets and effects of "mantra prayoga" on you by your enemies/opponents, and each time it protects you, it shrinks in size. The day it fully shrinks/dissolves, the owner of the idol will also drown in life, usually causing death. By and large, parad and rasa lingas are one and the same. Rasa sidhas solidify mercury on an auspicious day when there is a powerful combination of planets and stars, just with the power of mantras. This is kaliyuga and anything can happen. Nowadays we see the Shree Chakram being sold along side the roads, sacred mantras are loudly played through music systems in open etc. All that is prohibited by our scriptures are being done without any fear or regard. So, it is wise to adhere to the norms and customs of our Hindu Dharma. regards. , "arun_k_naik" <arun_k_naik> wrote: > Pranam. > > I have been performing Shivabhishek in my house on a small > Narmadeshwar Lingam.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Arunji, Pranams . The Advantage of worshipping the naturally existing Lingams like Bhana lingam, sphatika lingam etc are many . There is no need to do the Avahanam, the power of the Brahman is eternally there and brings immense peace and proserity to the devotee worshipping daily. As Atreyaji has mentioned the Parad lingam is used by mantriks and tantriks for various purposes from good to bad. This Shiva Linga is made of mercury and silver. this linga is quite a solid and heavy one. Normally mercury neither dissolves in water nor does it stand at a place when poured. Tantriks of high calibre with their spiritual power pour mercury to its boiling point viz 321 degrees Centigrade and mix silver in it when it solidifies in the form of Shiva linga and becomes a very rare tantrik article. The linga whe exposed to sun's rays radiates all the colours. Source : Secrects of Yantra, Tantra and Mantra By Dr. L. R. Chawdhri Sterling publishers Private Ltd. The various details for which it is used by tantriks need not be discussed as it would be beyond the scope of the group. At Haridwar before 15 years, I have seen a " Parad Lingam Temple" and the size of lingam must be 5 feet tall and three feet wide. At that time I couldnt appreciate as it was somewhat looking abnormal in my perception due to my limited knowledge. I have been performing Shivabhishek in my house on a small > Narmadeshwar Lingam.
