Pune can now boast a symbol of world peace. A unique 'earth peace' temple has come up recently at the Siddhanath forest ashram in Sinhagad, around 35 km from the city, which houses a one-of-its-kind Shivling made of paras mani (solidified mercury).
According to Yogiraj Siddhanath, a spiritual guru and founder of the Hamsa Yoga Sangh, a non-profit organisation that offers training in natural and healthy practices, the Shivling is a symbol for 'earth peace.' The temple was opened on the occasion of Mahashivratri.
Yogiraj Siddhanath told The Indian Express on Tuesday that the Shivling, which weighed over a tonne and was around 30 inches in height, was possibly the largest known akhand (unbroken) Shivling. "It can be termed the elusive philosopher's stone and has a distinctive spherical shape," he said.
