Parad Shiva-lingam

[Guest guest]

Namaste! I bought a statue of Kubera (Treasurer of

the Devas) from an Indian website, and they included

as an extra gift a small Parad Shiva-lingam. I

already have a Narmada Shiva-lingam on my altar. Can

I worship and use two lingams at the same time? I am

almost totally ignorant of the properties of Parad --

I know that it is a form of purified, solidified

mercury. The Parad lingam sent to me has a yoni-pitha

base -- which direction does the yoni-pita face again?

I am pouring a few drops of sanctified water on the

Parad lingam every morning, and singing a Shiva

bhajan, or chanting the Maha-Mritunjaya mantra. Has

anyone experienced working with Parad, and can you

suggest a sadhana appropriate to use?

 

The Kubera statue I put on my North-wall altar next to

my image of Lakshmi -- I plan on doing a full Puja to

them, come Deepavali. Kubera I know is a great friend

and devotee of Lord Shiva. I am praying for his

guidance, as I am studying the uses and effects of

gemstones for healing purposes.
