All the metals and sub-metals found in the world sen d out waves. Mercury is also a metal and sends out its waves likewise. As mercury (parad) is considered the most unstable among all the metals, similarly a persons mind is also very unstable and wavering. Both are closely related. If mercury is stabilized by destroying its unsteadiness, its waves will also be stable and steady. This will c ause agood effect on a persons mind. If one meditates beside a Parad Shivlinga, the mind naturally gets concentrated. Therefore a compact from of mercury (Parad) is of great significance because it is extremely helpful in con centrating the mind. Mercury has a property of liquidity which, in itself involves the diffcult process of solidification. It is belived that, to have a Shivlinga made by mercury (Parad) one must be blessed through good karmic deeds of the previous birth, but by the grace and compassion of Lord Shiva, we have achieved it and made it for the benifit of people of the world for peace and prosperity. Mercury (Parad) is a very pious and sacred metal. Therefore it should not be immersed in an y kind of hot or boiling liquid, eg...milk & water etc. By doing such may cause mercury (parad) to become unstable there by damaging the idols.
