DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPHATIK AND PARAD SHIVLING

Shivling by itself is immensely powerful, and worshipping it is meritorious. But the material it is made of also contributes to the benefits that worshipping a certain Shivling gives.

Parad Shivling is made of mercury which is put through several stages of purification before it is made into a Shivling form. As Mercury is in fluid form, it is unstable, just like the human mind, the process of solidifying mercury has a connection with stabilizing or calming the mind. Meditating with a Parad Shivling in close proximity calms the mind and helps to connect with the absolute truth, Lord Shiva.

Worshipping the Parad Shivling is said to be equivalent to worshipping thousands of Stone Shivlings. Whereas, worshipping the Sphatik Shivling is said to be similar to worshipping the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Sphatik gemstone is the purest of all gemstones, so Spatika Lingam is extremely pure and purifies the surrounding energies. Parad is considered to be the sperm of Lord Shiva, the seed of all creation, making it the most auspicious and purest of all material and matter. This makes the Parad Shivling most auspicious and the purest among all Shivlings.

Worshipping the Parad Shivling blesses the devotee with name, fame, glory, prosperity, knowledge, peace, helps achieve a high portfolio professionally, bestows with all-round worldly pleasures, peace, happiness, spiritual growth, and attainments, fulfils desires and leads to Moksha or liberation. When a Parad Shivling is kept in home/office, it brings in positive energies, banishing lower, evil, negative forces.

The holy scriptures are replete with the many attributes of the Parad Shivling, describing it as the giver of Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (pleasures), and Moksha (liberation). It is believed that the mere darshan or sight of the real Parad (Mercury) Shivling absolves the most heinous of sins. Touching it is said to help move beyond material unhappiness and help to awaken spiritually.

We have listed the many merits of worshipping the Sphatik Shivling above. Both the Parad and the Sphatik Shiva Lingam have potent qualities and bestow miraculous outcomes.
