The importance of Jyeshteshwar Ling has been described amply in Kashi Khand, Chapter 63.  Lord Shiva said, in the Jyeshta Month (May 20 to June 20), Chaturdasi day before Poornima (Shukla Paksha Chaturdasi), people should have darshan of Jyeshteshwar Ling and they will attain all happiness in life and heaven after death.  If the above day falls on Monday with Anuradha (Anusham) Star, it is all the more auspicious.

Jyeshteshwar

Just as darkness disappears with Sunrise, all the sins accumulated over several years disappear with darshan of Jyeshteshwar Ling (Kashi Khand, Chapter 63).  A person who performs Shraaddhha ceremony for his ancestors with ghee (clarified butter) etc. near Jyeshteshwar Ling does a great service to his ancestors. A person who does Pooja of Jyeshteshwar and gives alms to a Shiva Devotee gets the punya equivalent to feeding a crore people (Kashi Khand, ibid).
