rock crystal) is the purest and most auspicious gem
in the world. It is believed that during "
Ramayan Kaal:
Load Ram and
Laxman Sar on the
sphatik rock. Any idol which is made of
sphatik
does not need "pran pratishtha" before worshipping. It never
gets impure (
ashuddha). The shivling made up of
sphatik is considered to be the best. Worshiping a
sphatik
shivling is considered to have same effect as
worshiping the "
Jyotirlings". It bring
prosperity, happiness and contentment to the house where it is
worshipped.
