Ekadasa Rudrabhisheka Homam on Guru Poornima 7th July. Book your Archana
From time immemorial Crystal, one of the Semi Precious Stones known as Sphatik in India, is regarded as an excellent medium for religious practices. Worship of Shiva Linga made of Crystal was prevalent since the ancient days. It is mentioned in the scriptures that the great saint Adi Shankaracharya went to Kailash and brought back a Sphatika Shiva Linga to worship. 'Shivnirnaya ratnakara' says that a gold Shivalinga is billion times more powerful than a ordinary stone one and a gem Shivalinga is billion times more potent than a gold one. Crystal is also mentioned in the ancient scriptures. Garuda Purana Ch.69: "The potent semen of Vala transformed into the seeds of quartz (rock crystal), also known as Bhisma stones. These seeds germinated primarily in the Himalayas and the lands to their north. These crystals are usually transparent and colorless, and are often so brilliant that they are mistaken for diamonds. Any one respectfully wearing a pure quartz crystal set in gold will attain good fortune in this life and be protected from dangerous animals such as tigers, leopards, wolves, elephants, and lions. Pure quartz is also an amulet giving the wearer extraordinary sexual prowess. Wearing quartz while offering libations to departed ancestors insures them lasting happiness. It is also a talisman against drowning, burning and theft. These attributes pertain to pure flawless quartz, and knowledgeable gemologists advise that flawed varieties that are included, fractured, or discolored should be completely avoided."
