PARAD

An organically occurring element from air, water and soil, Parad is a hardened mercury. There are severl forms of mercury that exist in nature such as organic mercury compounds and inorganic mercury compounds, elemental and metallic mercury.

Significance of Parad

Mercury undergoes several stages of purification, before Parad is extracted from it. Parad is believed to be the most auspicious and fortunate metal made from the sperm of Lord Shiva. It is not only used significantly in vedic rituals but even idols made of Parad are comparatively more strong and radiant than those made of ceramic, wood or metal. The religious and divine benefits of a Parad Shivling is similar to a thousand Shivling made of stone or any other element.

As per Vedic Scriptures Parad is the most unadulterated and refined among all mineral elements. Brahma Purana states that those worshipping or having a Parad Shivling will not only live a prosperous and wealthy life but also find salvation, serenity of self and ultimately Moksha, irrespective of the birth, caste or gender. In their lifetime, the ones who values and worships the Parad Shivling will attain highest of honour in terms of name, fame and wealth, a happy family and umpteen of knowledge of the highest order. The person will have an optimistic attitude and carry a positive aura wherever he goes.

Found in the Earth’s crust mercury is an element which cannot be created or destroyed. Unmixed and refined mercury is found in the form of a liquid metal which is also known as quick silver that desiccates easily. According to Brahma Purana, the worshipping of Parad idols brings prosperity from the supreme Lord and devotees find ultimate liberation and come to know the essence of pure existence. The 117 Shlokas about Soma in Rigveda mentions about Iridium, Mercury and Rhodium.

The Vedic Mythology states that those who are seeking the ultimate truth or oksha and the yogis, set out to an inexplicable region known as Siddhashrama which is in the Himalayas. To increase the power of their meditation in the freezing climate of the Himalayas, the yogis there take a potion of mercury to enhance the intensity and also to bring down the number of breaths they take. In its raw form, Parad is dangerous and venomous. Through their spiritual powers, the yogis invent Gauri Chintamani, which is an edible form of Parad.

Primitive soothsayers and Vedic intellectuals were well acquainted with the supernatural relation that is between the Cosmos and various metals. The metals emit high geared and charged essential waves. The cosmic tattvas that mercury contains is continuously emitted but they are categorized as uneven. Hence, mercury is comparatively the most volatile and venomous metal. For this reason, there is a comparison drawn between the human mind and mercury. Just like the latter, human mind is also unsteady and speculative. As per the scriptures, the natural mercury can be put steady by various refining process. A naturally balanced Parad Shivling is an excellent entity for all human beings to offer their prayers and meditation. It brings about a balance between a human’s mind and body.
