RBSC : parad shivling
Rudraksha-Ratna
Namaste. I have a parad shivling in my home but I don't know if this
parad shivling is toxic. Could you help me ?
I have read this follow text on a website :
Contaminated "parad" dangerous to health: Research
Bindu Shajan Perappadan
It's a combination of mercury and silver, used for making beads and idols
NEW DELHI: Ancient Vedas considered it the most pure and auspicious
metal. And this combination of mercury and silver called "parad"' is
now used for making beads and idols of gods and goddesses as it is
considered very sacred.
However, contaminated parad is said to be exposing people to the
threat of mercury poisoning even inside homes.
The main culprit is tin which when used with mercury does not bind
allowing it to "leach".
Tests conducted by non-government organisation Toxics Links have
revealed that contaminated parad is sold openly in Delhi markets and
can even be bought online.
Says Prashant Pastore of Toxics Link: "Through our research we found
that tin unlike silver (that is traditionally used for making parad)
does not have the capacity to bind mercury allowing it to leach.
In the parads that people keep at home and worship in temples we found
high amount of tin (74.8 per cent), mercury (24.9 per cent) and trace
of metals including iron, silver, nickel, aluminium and antimony.''
"Most claims made by various sellers of providing pure form of mercury
with a mixture of silver is found to be wrong. Parads now have a large
amount of tin and 25 per cent of it is mercury.
What makes the situation dangerous is the fact that this combination
is available easily.
Also, both buyers and the sellers are seemingly unaware of the
negative effects of the metal.
There is, however, no paper that confirms that silver completely stops
mercury from leaching,'' adds Mr. Pastore. Mercury is a highly toxic
metal and can be consumed via food, inhaled or be absorbed through the
skin.
Passed on as "prasad"
The research conducted by the organisation tested the leaching
behaviour of mercury in parad by keeping it in milk and water for
varying duration and found that there was extensive leaching.
This mercury leaches into milk and is passed on to devotees as "prasad".
Speaking about the existing key markets in Delhi where the mercury
trade is primarily focused, Mr. Pastore says: "The big markets are
Tilak Bazar, Khari Baoli and Chandni Chowk. Waste-pickers and
recyclers form a highly unregulated circle of traders in mercury in
Delhi. Mercury is collected by waste-pickers from hospitals and other
sources and is then passed on to retailers or junk dealers. Those
involved in the trade only vaguely know about the hazards involved and
do not take any precaution in storing or transporting mercury.
Information or the inventory on where exactly it goes and the amount
involved is scarce.''

Namaste Fylgjarunester, where did you get your parad from? Pls answer
this question, thanks.
Some parad can leave black marks if they have not been religiously
bathed (abhishekam) or cleaned, especially if you leave it on altar
and light incense daily to it. Incense smoke can make parad dusty
with black dust. Candle fumes can also do this.
