JABALPUR - A home of three best things of world. Part 1:- Narmada Bana-Lingam (one kind of Shiv Linga)

Jabalpur is a home of few unique things of world, I know three powerful, beautiful and amazing things which are not found anywhere else in the world, one of them is :--

Narmada Bana lingam (One kind of Shiva Lingam) - A most Sacred Symbol and Divine Energy Tool, both in the Sanatan (ancient) and in present modern world. The Bana-Lingam are Swayambhu Shiva Lingas that have taken shape in the Sacred Narmada River, in the Central Western part of India. This is why the Bana-Lingams are also known as the Narmada Bana-Lingam or Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingam.   Scientifically it is the considered view of many researchers and geologists that the unique composition of the Narmadha Bana-Lingam was due to the impregnation of it’s rocky river-sides and the rocks in the river bed, 14 million years ago by a large meteorite that crashed into the Narmada River. The fusion of the Meteorite and the Earthly Minerals has spawned a new and unique type of Crystalline Rock with EXTRAORDINARY ENERGETIC QUALITIES - the Narmada Bana-Lingam.      The Bana-Lingam contain Crypto Crystalline Quartz (masses made up of either fibrous or granular aggregates of tiny, microscopic Quartz Crystals) and a Gemstone material called Chalcedony (with an iron oxide and geothite inclusion) along with Basalt and Agate. This unique composition coupled with Elliptical Shape has a precise resonance in alignment with our Energy Centers or Chakras and are used for thousands of years as Divine Energy Generators for Cleansing, Healing and for Meditation. The Narmada Bana-Lingas are quite strong and the hardness is a 7 on the Moe’s Scale, one of the highest frequency vibration rates of all stones on earth. The vibration of Bana-linga is said to be perfect for purification purpose.   The Narmadha Bana Lingas became very famous throughout the western world, after the film “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” was screened : this is the very same Sacred Stone that they were searching for.
