Spiritual Significance of Rudraksha Shivling

Rudraksha holds immense spiritual and religious significance in Hinduism. According to scriptures, Rudraksha is formed from the tears of Lord Shiva, making it an embodiment of divine energy. On the occasion of Mahashivratri, worshipping a Rudraksha Shivling is considered highly auspicious.

Speaking on the occasion, Bhagavatacharya Pujya Pankajbhai Vyas expressed his prayers for world peace, prosperity, and well-being. The Pothi Yatra, which began from the house of Kartik Singh Parmar in Wankal, concluded at Rudraksha Dham, marking the start of this grand celebration.

A Remarkable Achievement in World Records

The World Records India Book has officially recognized this Rudraksha Shivling as the world’s tallest. Pawan Solanki, Chief Editor of World Records India and Genius Foundation, personally presented the official certificate to Pujya Batukbhai Vyas.

This is not the first time such an achievement has been recorded. In the past, the Limca Book of Records has honored similar Rudraksha Shivlings four times. Notably, Batukbhai Vyas is the first person to receive a central government patent for the method of constructing a Rudraksha Shivling.

Rudraksha Dham, near Wankal, is set to become a major pilgrimage site for Shiva devotees, offering a rare chance to witness the sacred Rudraksha Mahashivling and participate in spiritually enriching rituals.
