Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims travel to the Amarnath cave in Jammu and Kashmir each summer to witness the naturally formed ice Shivling, a sacred symbol of Lord Shiva. For Abhishek Mishra and his family of Edison, New Jersey, faith was profoundly deepened closer to home, through a series of mysterious events unfolding in their own residence.

The Mishras, a devoutly religious family, say they cannot thank Lord Shiva enough for blessing their home, according to a statement they released.

Abhishek Mishra, a seasoned corporate professional, shared with the press that naturally formed (Swayambhu) images of Shiva have appeared both inside and outside his home without any human intervention. 

“Lord Shiva, we call him Shankar Bhagwan, has blessed our home, and we feel his divine presence on our property all the time,” said Mishra, whose family resides at 25 Lavender Drive in Edison, in the area commonly known as Little India.

Among the “astonishing phenomena” at the Mishra residence was a Shivling forming naturally from winter ice, while a 50-foot depiction of Lord Shiva holding a trident appeared in the backyard snow. Inside the home, an image of Shiva with Nandi emerged on bathroom tiles, and another meditative form of Shiva appeared from ice.

“As word spread, many people have been eager to witness this remarkable event, calling it a true spiritual wonder. For many believers, the formations at the Mishra house are a sign of divine blessings, strengthening their faith and devotion,” added the statement. 

Described as an “intuitive person,” Mishra wants to convey a broader spiritual message. The statement notes that he encourages those willing to listen to recognize the presence of a Divine Power, known by different names across religions and worshipped in different forms. “More importantly for us, he says, is that aligning with that Divine Power will make our worldly life happy, peaceful, and prosperous,” it added. 

The Mishras are highly accomplished academically and professionally. Abhishek Mishra holds a master’s in computer science from NYIT and has worked in the IT industry for 20 years at Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T and IBM. 

His wife, Namita, earned a master’s in computer engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and has held positions at Goldman Sachs and other leading firms. Their son, Avi, is currently pursuing a master’s degree. Their daughter, Anika, works as a Genetic Counselor at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx, NY.

The Mishras welcome visitors interested in learning about and experiencing the spiritual miracle. Mishra can be reached at 732.690.0404 for more details.
