World's Largest 5,211-Kg Parad Shivling Consecrated in Haridwar; Thousands Witness Historic Spiritual Event

Haridwar, Uttarakhand:  Pran Pratishtha Mahotsav  of the world's largest 5,211-kilogram Parad Shivling concluded successfully at Shri Sai Shiv Ganga Dham, Haridwar, amidst Vedic rituals, devotional fervor, and an atmosphere of profound spirituality. More than 2,000 devotees, saints, spiritual seekers, and distinguished guests from across the country participated in the grand celebration.

The massive Parad Shivling was created by renowned meditation master Dhyan Guru Raghunath Guruji after nearly a decade of intensive spiritual practice, scientific research, and deep study of ancient Parad (mercury) science. The Shivling has been crafted using purified mercury, silver, gold, and extracts of 108 sacred herbs, making it a unique symbol of India's rich spiritual and scientific heritage.  Spiritual scholars and experts have described the Shivling as the largest of its kind in the world and a remarkable fusion of spirituality, meditation, and traditional Indian metallurgical knowledge. The consecration ceremony was conducted under the blessings of the revered tradition of Guru Gorakhnath Maharaj, the guidance of Pir Yogi Mahant Somnath Bapu of Girnar, and the inspiration of Padma Bhushan Dr. Vijay Bhatkar. The event was dedicated to promoting world peace, positive consciousness, and human welfare. Addressing devotees, Raghunath Guruji said that the Parad Shivling is not merely a religious symbol but a powerful center for meditation, self-transformation, and spiritual awakening.

"This Shivling represents years of dedicated research, spiritual discipline, and devotion. It carries a message of inner peace, human welfare, and positive energy for society," he said. Guruji also recalled the grand Ashwamedh Yagya organized in 2019, which witnessed the participation of nearly 10,000 devotees. The three-day festival featured Vedic chanting, yajnas, meditation sessions, spiritual discourses, devotional programs, and various religious ceremonies. Participants described the event as a unique celebration of spiritual awakening, cultural heritage, and social harmony. Several eminent saints, spiritual leaders, and dignitaries graced the occasion, including Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Ji Maharaj, Shri Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj, Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Swami Avdheshanand Giri Ji Maharaj, Swami Ravindra Puri Ji Maharaj, Sadhvi Ritambhara Ji, Acharya Manish Ji (HIIMS), Member of Parliament Raghav Chadha, and Uttarakhand State Minister and Ganga Sabha President Nitin Gautam, among others. Prominent industrialist and social worker Rajeev Bansal played a vital role in organizing the event. Expressing his gratitude, he said, "I am a devotee of Sai Baba. By Baba's blessings, I received the opportunity to contribute to this divine mission. For me, it was an act of service and devotion."

At the conclusion of the ceremony, Raghunath Guruji thanked all saints, devotees, volunteers, and supporters for their contribution. He especially acknowledged the dedicated efforts of Rajeev Bansal, whose support significantly contributed to the successful execution of the event.
