OM TAN​TRA

These egg shaped stones come from only one place, the Narmada River in Western India, one of India's most holy sites. The villagers gather the stones from the river and hand polish them so that they are a smooth rounded shape.

The word 'Lingum' comes from the Sanskrit word for symbol, as these stones are a symbol of Lord Shiva. Their colors vary, but they are all a tan color. These stones are a type of cryptocrystalline quartz with inclusions of various minerals within them, including basalt, feldspar and iron oxide.

They occur with a range of patterns on them with various brown, red or grey stripes, spots or patches on the stones.

These unusual stones are an integral part of their worship practices, and have been for hundreds of years.

While some Shiva Lingam stones occur naturally, this is not common. Most of the stones are hand polished and shaped by the people who live in this area. They have strong physical and metaphysical properties as they carry a lot of energy, and are potent stones for spiritual healing and growth.

Shiva Lingam encourage you to see the uniqueness of yourself, to see that each of you are part of the whole, yet you are separate individuals within the whole. The quartz within these stones resonates this sacred energy, via the universal mind to all who use them and have been using them since ancient times. They carry the energy within them to activate the kundalini energy and begin the process of awakening the kundalini.
