Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Dear Sri Lalethaaji please accept adiyen's respectful pranams! Your life is now turing better since you came across Sri Saligrama. Just by hearding the word your life has started to change. Sri JayaTirtha Swamy from NZ has put together a very good web site regarding Sri Saligrama please go through the site and browse for the section "everyting one needs to know about silas". You will find a lot of documents, and also Sri Saligrama Gosha, Sri Gaudrapurana's references of Sri Saligrama. http://www.hknet.org.nz/Sri-Shaligram-Tirtha.htm Lord Shiva declares the greatness of Sri Saligrama Silas as follows in Sri Padma Purana: mallinga kotibhi drsthi yad phalam pujiti | salagrama sila yamtu ekasyam iva tad bhaved || "The merit obtained by seeing and worshipping hundreds of thousands of My Lingams, is equivalent to that obtained by worshipping one single salagrama sila." ato'dhisthana vargesu suryadisviva murtisu | salagrama silaiva syad adhisthanottamam hareh || The Lord resides in many places in which he may be worshipped, but of all places Salagrama is the best. ( Skanda Purana ) salagrama sila rupi yatra tisthati kesavah | tatra devasurayaksa bhuvanani catur dasa || With Keshava in the form of Salagrama sila reside all the devatas, asuaras, yaksas and the fourteen worlds. DRSTVA PRANAMITA YENA SNAPITA PUJITA TATHA YAJNA KOTI SAMAM PUNYAM GAVAM KOTI PHALAM BHAVET (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 5/384 from SKANDA PURANA) Lord Siva spoke to Skanda, his son, saying that any person who has seen Salagram Sila, paid obeisances to Him, bathed and worshipped Him, has achieved the results of performing ten million sacrifices and giving ten million cows in charity. PUJITO'HAM NA TAIR MARTYAIR NAMITO'HAM NA TAIR NARAH NAKRTAM MARTYA LOKE YAIH SALAGRAM SILARCANAM (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 5/396 from SKANDA PURANA) (Lord Siva speaks to his son, Skanda) In this mortal world, if anyone does not worship Salagram Sila, I do not at all accept any of their worship and obeisances. Please go forward in getting the Lord to your house. Pray on HIM and HE will get you, your home, the environment ready and then HE will come with Sri Devi Tulsi. May Sri Saligrama bless you countlessly. SubhamDinamAstu! SarvamSriKrishnaArpanamastu! Om Tat Sat Sarvam Sri SatyaNarayanake Arpanamastu!
