Narmadeshwara Lingam Stones

It is an Indian belief that millions of years ago, a meteorite collided with the earth at the place that is now the source of the Narmada River in Madhya Pradesh, a mountainous province some 300 miles northeast of Mumbai (Bombay), India. The tremendous heat of the collision caused a fusion of the ambient rock and meteoric material. Over the ages, a river began to flow through this area and the combination of these factors produced the unique condition in which pieces of the fused matter, revolving in the river bed over thousands of years, take on a distinct ovoid form. The oval form is markedly different from the flatter, thinner rocks normally appearing in the riverbed.

Once a year, after a long dry season, and just before the beginning of the monsoons, the river is at it’s lowest. The villagers, working with oxen and rope, go out onto the river bed and pull the stones from the water. The stones are then hand polished. A large one can take many months to complete. These pillars, or egg shaped stones, are called Lingam's (literally, “sign” or “characteristic” in Sanskrit). To certain sects of the Hindu religion the stones are said to represent directly the transcendental being, the living God, divine existence, consciousness, and bliss (satchitanand). According to the Skanda Purana, an ancient Hindu scripture, the Lingam represents the all-pervading space, in which the whole universe is in the process of creation and dissolution. Other sects consider the Lingam, with its obvious phallic form, to be the generative force of life itself.

These stones have been used for fertility, not only around conceiving, but also bringing to fruition what you need or desire in your life. They are a combination of heaven and earth, the balance of male and female.

Stunning Lingam

This lingam has such great markings. Reddish brown lines swirl around the entire stone along with some orange-brown bands. It almost looks like the lines were liquid and were drizzled over the stone. Beautiful. It has a nice oblong shape. A nice size too. #L-76

5 3/4 inches tall  x  2 3/4 inches wide.

$98

Red Lingam

The colors of this stone are beautiful. Various shades of reds, oranges and browns fill the bottom part of the stone. Then a lighter color of red is in the upper half. There is an interesting pattern in the stone. Some people think it looks like the profile of a person. Others think it looks like an angel wing. The stone has a nice oblong shape but it isn't perfectly smooth all around. One side of the stone is a bit flat. Not super flat. But it keeps the stone from rolling away which is nice. This is just a great stone.  #L-77

6 1/8 inches tall x 3 inches wide.

Lovely Lingam

This lingam has such lovely markings and colors. The top of the stone is covered with a nice combination of reddish brown, orange and tan. And the colors have areas that look soft, as weird as that sounds. It's hard to explain but see if you see what I mean when you look at the picture. The back of the stone has an oval pattern of pale reddish-brown swirls. Very sweet lingam.  #L-79

6 inches tall x 3 1/8 inches wide.

Beautiful Lingam

There is a lot to look at with this lingam. Colorful patterns of reds and oranges adorn the top, bottom and one side of the stone. There are also small oval lines in dark grey as well as flecks of grey all over the lingam. Very pretty. It has a nice shape with good balance. Just a great lingam!  #L-81

6 inches tall x 3 inches wide.

Pretty Lingam

A beautiful combination of reds and orange and browns top this lovely lingam. The colors then continue down one side of the stone, making an interesting pattern. The back of the stone has a reddish brown mark here and there. It's a nice size stone with a lovely shape. Not too thin, not too thick. Perfect!  #L-82

Squatty Little Lingam

This is such a sweet little lingam. It is a solid reddish brown color with a few lighter colored spots. It is barely oval shaped. So cute! It fits very nicely in your hand so it's great for healing work, meditation or to travel with.  #L-93

2 3/4 inches tall x 2 inches wide.

$25

Classic Lingam

This small lingam has a nice cap of orange and reds. The rest of the stone is a slightly reddish brown with a few swirl patterns in it. It has that classic lingam look and shape. Very sweet. It's a good size to travel with or for a small altar. #L-94

3 inches tall x 1 3/4 inches wide.

$30

Brown Lingam

This lingam has darker browns and greys than some of the other stones. The camera picked up more reds than you really see. It's surface isn't super smooth but it is still a sweet lingam. It has a fun shape as it is fairly thick for it's height. Sweet.  #L-95
