Bānaliṅgā (बानलिङ्गा) refers to “egg-shaped pebbles”, images of which are found scattered within Hindu temples.—T. A. Gopinath Rao points out the specificities of each temple by saying that each temple is filled with numerous images of gods, goddesses, parivāra-devatas (gods related in a family), devas (attendants to the gods), śālagrāmās (cakra–an ammonite shell), bānaliṅgās (egg-shaped pebbles), yantras (mystic and magical diagrams engraved upon metallic plates), navagrahas (the nine planetary divinities), certain divine animals and birds, certain holy rivers, tanks, trees and sepulchers of saints. Bāṇaliṅga (बाणलिङ्ग).—a white stone found in the river नर्मदा (narmadā) and worshipped as the लिङ्ग (liṅga) of Śiva.
2 Banalinga is the one which yields pleasure and deliverance to the devotees. Regarding the three portions of Linga such as Brahma (base), Visnu (middle portion) and Siva (top portion), the author does not give their measures and other details. The author simply mentions Banalinga which is the one found in the river bed. banalingam tu sarvesam bhuktimuktikaram nrnam || bhagatrayapariksyabhivyaso natra vidhiyate / saritpravahasamstham ca lingam banasamakrtih || (Saivaga manibandhana, XIV, 115-116) According to D.N. Shukla, Banalingas are a special variety of Lingas as they are neither human nor divine. It comes under the Acalalinga class. They may be natural and there is a mythology about their origin in the way that its sanctity is associated with the falling of the three forts of the great demon Bana in the midst of the two sacred rivers Narmada and Ganga." T. A. Gopinatha Rao gives a clear idea about the Banalingas. In his view Banalingas usually consist of quartz and are egg shaped pebbles. They are described in the Siddhanta saravali of Trilocana Sivacarya." Banalingas are very much liked by Siva and their size is ranging from the eighth of an Angula (inch) to one Hasta (cubit). The colours of the Banalinga may be of a ripe Jambu fruit, of honey, of a black beetle, of the touch stone or may be deep red-green. The Peeta should be of the same colour as the Banalinga. Regarding the shape of these Lingas it should be either like the teat of a cow or like an egg and must be highly polished. These Lingas are said to be found in Amaresvara, on the Mahendra Mountain in Nepal in the Kanya tirtha and Asrama near the same place. It is believed that other places also contain numerous Banalingas such as Srisaila in Andhra Pradesh, Linga saila and Kaligarta. The Aparajita prccha provides the iconographical features of the Banalingas, where about fourteen varieties of them are described with their special shapes from 'Ekasra' upto 'Caturdasasra' according to the worship offered and rewards attained. 3 [image: CHANDRASHEKHARA BANALINGAM SHAKTI SHIVALINGUM NARMADESHWAR SET][image: A stone on a black object AI-generated content may be incorrect.] 4 In Hinduism, Lord Shiva is the destroyer of evil and the transformer of souls. The Banalingam, being a natural form of the Shiva Linga, is believed to carry his divine essence. Keeping a Banalingam at home helps: Attract peace, prosperity, and protection Remove negative energies and vastu doshas Promote mental clarity, meditation, and chakra balancing Strengthen spiritual practices and Shiva sadhana Many practitioners place Banalingams in puja rooms, meditation spaces, or personal altars to harness its subtle but powerful vibrations. Why Choose a Natural Banalingam Over Artificial Shivlings? While sculpted Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingas are common, a Banalingam is considered more auspicious due to its natural origin and untouched energy. Here’s why: Feature Banalingam Artificial Shivling Formation Naturally formed in Narmada River Man made materials Energy High vibrational frequency Depends on energization process Maintenance Simple worship and abhishekam May need additional rituals Ideal Use Home puja, meditation, gifting Temple worship, traditional rituals How to Worship a Banalingam Worshipping a Banalingam is easy and powerful. Place the Shivling on a clean copper or brass plate. Every Monday or daily (as per your devotion): Offer pure water or milk during abhishekam Apply vibhuti (holy ash) or sandalwood paste Offer bilva leaves, flowers, and light a diya Chant “Om Namah Shivaya” or other Shiva mantras Since Banalingams are already energized by nature, you don’t need elaborate rituals—your devotion is what matters most. Who Can Keep a Banalingam? Anyone with sincere faith can keep a Banalingam at home or office, regardless of their religious background. It is especially helpful for: Healers and energy workers for chakra cleansing Spiritual seekers practicing meditation or Shiva worship Families seeking peace, health, and financial stability 5 All the pebbles rolling on its bed are said to take the shape of shiva lingam with the saying, “Narmada Ke Kanker utte Sankar” (a popular saying in the Hindi belt of India), which means that ‘pebble stones of Narmada gets a personified form of Shiva’. These lingam shaped stones ( cryptocrystalline quartz), called Banalinga also called (Banashivalingas) are much sought after for daily worship by the Hindus. The Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, constructed by Rajaraja Chola, has one of the biggest Banalingas. Adi Shankara met his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of river Narmada. BaaNa Lingam, and Sphatika Lingam are two forms of Shiva Lingam, kept for worship in homes, respectively of brownish black and white colours. They are not made but natural formations Bana-Lingam What are Bana Lingas ? Many Vedic Scriptures propound that the natural Narmada Banalingas are self-manifest respresentations of Lord Shiva. What Salagramas are to Lord Maha Vishnu that Narmada Bana Lingas are to Lord Shiva. The Bana Lingam is a most Sacred Symbol and Divine Energy Tool, both in the ancient and in this modern world and it comes with the loftiest frequency of vibrations (compared to any stone on Earth) and appears from only one place on the entire Planet of Earth – in the cradles of Holy River Narmada. The Bana Lingas 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 Banalingas or Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingas. The Narmada Bana Lingam became very famous throughout the 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 ! The Shiva Lingas that are formed in the Narmada river 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 goethite inclusion) alongwith 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 Lingam are quite strong and the hardness is a 7 on the Moe’s Scale. The Narmada Bana Lingam’s upright egg shape represents the Pure Consciousness of Lord Shiva and the Holy Markings on the Sacred Stone represents the interactive aspect of Goddess Shakti, the Divine Seed which is fertilized to manifest the Creative Power in the Dance of the Cosmos. Together, they represent the Union of the Supreme Male and Supreme Female Energies – Shiva and Shakti. It should also be understood that the Narmada Shiva Lingam represents the Divine Blending of Knowledge (Shiva) and Wisdom (Shakthi). the sacred altar for the Panchayatana worship. Sun God Surya is represented by a crystal found in Vallam in Tamil Nadu. Mother Goddess Shakti is represented by the Swarnamukhi stone found in Swarnamukhi River in Andhra Pradesh. Vishnu is represented through Salagramas found only in the Ghantaki River in the Himalayas. Ganesha is represented by the red Sonbhadra stone found in the river bed of the Sone River flowing into the Ganges. Shiva is represented by the Bana Lingas found in the Narmada river bed near the island of Mandhata. Vedic Legends about Origin of Narmada Bana Lingam : The Asura Raja (Demon King) Bana was the eldest of the one hundred sons of Bali – Bali was the son of King Virochana, the grandson of Prahlada (the famous devotee of Lord Maha Vishnu’s incarnation, Lord Narasimha) and the great grandson of King Hiranyakashipu. King Banasura himself was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and to seek the Divine Blessings of Lord Shiva, he performed severe penances for a long time, in the Holy Himalayas, invoking Lord Shiva’s favour. Finally Lord Shiva appeared in answer to his austerities and agreed to grant him a boon. Banasura wished for himself One Thousand Arms carrying a multitude of weapons to destroy his enemies and desired that Goddess Parvathi consider him as her own son – he was bestowed with what he asked. Drunk with power and arrogance, the Demon King started torturing all the three worlds. Honouring the requests of the Devas and Lord Indra, Lord Krishna (an incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu) severed all the one thousand arms and the weapons they were holding, with his Sri Sudharsana Chakra, the Divine Discus. However, Lord Shiva honoured the Demon King (who was, inspite of being an Asura, was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva) by giving him his own representation in the form of Swayambu (natural, self-manifest) Shiva Linga, hence the name Bana Linga. 6 What are the different types of Narmada Bana Lingas ? It is said that mainly there are nine types of Banalingas – (a) Swayambhu – honey coloured with two dark rings (b) Mrityunjaya – variegated colours with marks resembling spear and colis of matted hair (c) Nilakantha – elongated and white coloured with a black spot (d) Trilochana – white coloured with eye-like marks (e) Kalagni Rudhra – lustrous and dark, stout with matted-hair like marks (f) Tripurari – honey coloured with white marks resembling the sacrificial chord across and with lotus at the base (g) Isana – clear crystal with the top tawny brown and marks of a trident (h) Ardhanariswara – white coloured on one side and red coloured on the other side (i) Maha Kala – slightly red in hue, shining, stout and longish in shape 7 The "science" behind the Shivling isn't a direct scientific fact but an ancient Indian philosophical concept linking the Shivling's form and symbolism to the atomic structure and the universe's fundamental energies, where the pillar represents the atom with its protons and neutrons, and the surrounding disc (Jalahari) represents the spinning electrons or energy fields. This interpretation, supported by figures like Swami Vivekananda and Dr. P. V. Vartak, suggests the Shivling is a representation of the universe's creative force, cosmic energy, and interconnectedness of matter and energy. Symbolic Representation of Atomic Structure The Pillar: The main body of the Shivling is seen as a representation of the atom's nucleus, with the neutrons and protons. The Disc (Jalahari): The circular disc at the base symbolizes the electrons that spin around the nucleus. The lines etched on the disc in some lingams signify multiples, which is consistent with atomic structures. Connection to Cosmic Energy and Universality Cosmic Pillar: The ancient texts describe the Shivling as a "cosmic pillar of fire" or the "cosmic egg" (Brahmanda), symbolizing the unmanifest, endless nature of Shiva and the totality of the cosmos. Energy and Vibration: The practice of pouring water or milk on the lingam is not just a ritual but is also believed to transmit vibrations and energy faster than air. Water is seen as the center of energy, uniting the concepts of hot and cold, hot and cold, and acting as a conduit for cosmic energy. Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science Rishis' Understanding: This philosophical interpretation aligns with modern scientific discoveries about atomic structure, as articulated by figures like Niels Bohr, who demonstrated that molecules are made of atoms comprising protons, neutrons, and electrons. Beyond Physical Form: While not a literal scientific object, the Shivling is an emblem that encapsulates profound ideas about the creation of the universe, the interconnectedness of all things, and the cyclical nature of energy and matter, a concept supported by modern science.
