Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Pune's contribution to world peace: A special Shiv-ling Posted online: Thursday, April 03, 2008 at 0328 hrs IST Pune, April 02Pune can now boast a symbol of world peace. A unique `earthpeace' temple has come up recently at the Siddhanath forest ashramin Sinhagad, around 35 km from the city, which houses a one-of-its-kind Shivling made of paras mani (solidified mercury). According to Yogiraj Siddhanath, a spiritual guru and founder of theHamsa Yoga Sangh, a non-profit organisation that offers training innatural and healthy practices, the Shivling is a symbol for `earthpeace.' The temple was opened on the occasion of Mahashivratri. Yogiraj Siddhanath told The Indian Express on Tuesday that the Shivling,which weighed over a tonne and was around 30 inches in height, waspossibly the largest known akhand (unbroken) Shivling. " It can be termed the elusive philosopher's stone and has a distinctivespherical shape, " he said. Yogiraj Siddhanath said the science of mercury solidification, atechnique that Europe and Arabia so dearly wanted but could notcomprehend, has been known to India for 7,000 years, since the time of the Indo-Saraswati civilisation. Mercury, when solidified, sheds itstoxic qualities and begins to exude a `nectarine' effect, heelaborated, adding that it assists in slowing down the ageing process. " The ingestion of such pure mercury enables a true yogi to obtain asanjeevan deh — an immaculate body — free from the ravages oftime. It also helps in stabilising the mind and attaining a state ofpeaceful calm, " he said. The purification of mercury from its fluid to a solid state has 16 phases, he added. Producing the mercury Shivling took one year and seven months, YogirajSiddhanath said. He also pointed out that the maintenance of a Shivlingwas no easy task. " A Shivling has a mind of its own. It has a wish-fulfilling quality but if it feels neglected, one will see therepercussions soon. Therefore, proper meditation and prayers are amust, " he said. " It is wonderful that such a magnificent place of worship has beenestablished here, " said Dr Sunil Jagtap of the Chhatrapati ShivajiMedical College of Yoga and Naturopathy, on Bajirao Road. Situated in a densely vegetated area near Donje-Golewadi, the templeoffers people a perfect getaway from the mundane routines of life. " The ashram is meant for meditation and there are no time limits for visitors. Everybody is free to come and discover the serene atmospherehere. Come, meditate and experience the difference, " YogirajSiddhanath said, as the captivating raag bhairav played in thebackground. > Pune's contribution to world peace.
