Narmada Shivaling

 

 

Narmada Shiva Lingams come from the Narmada River in India, which is one

of the seven sacred holy places of pilgrimage in India and the

collection of these stones is passed down from generation to generation.

 

The Narmada River is considered to be very sacred. The Narmada River is

considered the mother and giver of peace. Legend has it that the mere

sight of this river is enough to cleanse one's soul, as against a

dip in the Ganga or seven in the Yamuna. The Ganga is believed to visit

this river once a year, in the guise of a black cow to cleanse herself

of all her collected sins.

 

The Shivalings are made of crypto crystalline quartz, and are said to

have been formed from a meteorite that fell to Earth several million

years ago. They contain one of the loftiest vibrations of all stones on

Earth. The Narmada shivalingas represents the blending of male and

female energy, with the shape of the stone representing the male

(knowledge), and the markings representing the female (wisdom). Shiva

and Shakti (consort of Lord Shiva represent this union of male and

female energies - essential for the growth of the human race. The

shivlings works with the breath and the fluids of the body creating a

harmony in the body's flow.

 

The Shiva of Narmadeshawara Lingam stones are sacred in both Hindu and

Buddhist beliefs. They are gathered one sacred day a year from an area

near the source of the Narmada River about 300 miles north of Mumbai. Of

the stones gathered, the most beautiful are polished into this

traditional egg/oval shape by the action of the river.

 

According to Vedic text, Narmada shivlings illustrate harmony through

duality. In these shivlings are the energy of divine acceptance of what

is, as is. Narmada shivlings represent power, creation and the physical

plane or grounding of those who accompany these sacred stones.
