After spending three amazing days at Rameshwaram, we
finished the final puja on the third day. On the walk back to the hotel, our
friends wanted to check on the possibility of getting some tea. I was standing
in front of a shop and on an idle glance, I felt a strong pull towards the tiny
shivlings kept on display. They were silver colored, but somehow didn’t feel
they were made of silver. I felt like buying one, but my husband was not with
me at the time and I was not carrying any money. So I left it at that.
Later during the night, we were planning to go to our rooms
after dinner. Suddenly I felt the tiny Shivling calling me. “Let’s walk to a
shop, I want to show you something”, I told my husband and we reached the shop.
It turned out that the shop keeper was from the same place as my husband and
they struck an animated conversation.
The shop keeper told that those Shivlings were made of
solidified mercury and only a select few know the process of purifying and solidifying
mercury. He gave me the procedures to be followed before keeping a parad
Shivling at home. I bought one and later searched the net for details on parad
Shivling. The mercury is a liquid with mobility, it represents the mind which
is always moving. Worshipping a shivling made of solidified mercury, one can
gradually stabilize the mind. Only those
who have burned the sins of past lives are destined to own a parad Shivling.
And it is supposed to have many amazing Godly properties!
