Video - The Alchemy of Ancient India: Creating Parad Shiva Lingams
What if I told you that ancient Indians possessed extraordinary knowledge in science and technology, so advanced that they could create Shiva Lingams by solidifying mercury? In modern chemistry, solidifying mercury at room temperature is impossible; it requires temperatures as low as -38°C. Yet, most mercury Lingams in ancient Bharat (India) are composed of 99% pure mercury. Numerous experiments have shown that this feat was achieved by adding acid and copper. Some believe it was the yogic powers of the Siddhas that made this possible, while others suggest it was accomplished using specific alloys and herbs. The creation of solid mercury Parad Shiva Lingams is a fascinating blend of historical practices and alchemical traditions. According to traditional Indian alchemy, known as Rasa Shastra, mercury is purified and combined with other substances through intricate processes to solidify it. Moreover, mercury is believed to have immense medicinal value in these traditions. Regardless of the method, this achievement highlights the incredible mastery of chemistry in ancient Bharat. It suggests that the ancient Indians had advanced understanding.
