Parad Ban Lingum

What is a parad Banligam?

• Parad or Mercury is a liquid metal. It is also used in the thermometer to measure body temperature. Parad is considered the seed of Lord Shiva, thus, sanctified. Parad Shivling is formed when the liquid metal Mercury is mixed with other chemicals to solidify it through different procedures. However, Parad Ling is a gross form of Lord Shiva worshipping what you attain luck and abundance with the grace of Lord Shiva.
