In Vedic scriptures, Parad Mani is considered a form of Lord Shiva. According to astrology, Parad is regarded as a living metal. Mercury rules the number 5, and Parad Mani is considered the most divine metal, encompassing all types of spiritual energies within itself. It attracts pure and positive energy from the universe. Wearing a pure Parad Mani around the neck is believed to signify receiving Lord Shiva’s direct blessings.
