Different Types of Shivling And Benefits of Worship

The Shivling is unarguably one the most sacred and revered Hindu religious symbols. The Shivling, which is representative symbol of the immense and immeasurable energy of Shiva and the Shiva Tattva, is present in most Hindu households.  In this post, I have described the main benefits of worshiping different kinds of Shivling, which are made using different metals, alloys and even food-stuff.

The description of many types of Shivling is found in Shiva Purana. Worshiping each Shivling has different benefits.

The month of Sawan is the month of Lord Shiva. In this month, by worshiping Lord Shiva, his devotees try to please him. Not only this, many devotees worship Shivling daily till the month of Sawan lasts and offer Bel leaves etc. on it. It is believed that in the holy month of Sawan, worship of Lord Shiva, fasting and offering water and Bel leaves on Shivling fulfills the wishes of the devotees. But, do you know how to worship which Shivling? Yes, you understand right. There are many types of Shivling. Each Shivling gives different fruits and what is the way of worshiping it. Let us tell you that 10 types of Shivling have been mentioned in Shiv Purana.

Parad Shivling

If you want to get Radrabhishek done in the month of Sawan, then you should get the Parad Shivling anointed. If you do Rudrabhishek of Parad Shivling, then there will always be happiness and peace in your life. Not only this, if women worship this Shivling, then they will get good luck. Let us tell you that these Shivlings are very small and you can keep them in your home, office, shop. Before installing this Shivling, definitely worship it.

 

Mishri Shivling

Shivling made of sugar or sugar candy is called Mishri Shivling. If someone is ill in your house, then you should worship Shivling made of sugar candy daily. This cures the disease of the patient.


Barley and Rice Shivling

If you want prosperity to come in your house then you should worship Shivling made of barley and rice for this. Even if you have been trying for a child for a long time, you should still worship the Shivling made of barley and rice.

Bhasma Shivling

Made in Ujjain. But Shivling made from the ashes of Yagya is also worshipped. Most of the Aghori Baba people make this Shivling to attain siddhis. One should never worship Shivling made of ashes at home.

Jaggery Shivling

Just as there are Shivlings of sugar, similarly Shivlings are made by mixing jaggery and grains. If you want that there should never be a shortage of food in your house or if you have a lot of food in your field, then you should always worship Shivling made of jaggery and grains.

Shivling made of fruits and flowers

Shivling can also be made from fruits and flowers. If you are facing any property related problem then you should worship Shivling made of fruits and flowers. This will solve the problem related to your property.

Gold or Silver Shivling

By the way, it is rarely seen that anyone worships Shivling made of Gold or Silver. But if you want splendor in your house, then you should worship Shivling of gold and silver.

 

Clay Shivling

If you live in such a place or if there is a defect in the bite of a poisonous animal in your horoscope, then you should worship the earthen Shivling. By this you will be free from fear.

Yogurt Shivling

You must be surprised to hear that but Shivling of curd is also made. For this, you have to keep curd tied in a cloth and then make Shivling of it, from this you will get money.

Lahusnia Shivling

If you have any enemy and he is troubling you, then to destroy him you should worship Lahusiya Shivling. With this all your wishes come true.

Amazing Scientific Reasons Behind Hindu Traditions

Why Should We Visit Temple? Temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple , known as “ Garbhagriha ” or Moolasthanam . In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This Moolasthanam is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the “ shlokas ”. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically,...
