Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Pl read a very very good artical on Shaligram from www.shaligram.com SHALIGRAM THE DIVINEGIFT SHALIGRAM Worship Shree Shaligram for six values of life Righteous living, Wealth, Protection, good health, pleasures and Spiritual AKYAS CA IVA DESE CA SALAGRAMA STHALAM MAHAT SANAM TAD BHAVAM YAT TAT SALAGRAMAM ITI SMRTAM Shaligrams are found in Mukti chhetra and Damodar Kunda (north-west of Nepal). The shaligram is the most sacred stone worshipped by vaishnavas to worship Vishnu in an abstract form (i.e., God without form) as a Shaligram. The marks made by an insect called "Vajrakitta" gives the Shaligrama a special significance, with the pattern often representing that of Sudarshan Chakra (the Discus of Lord Vishnu). Shaligrams come in different colours but the black, yellow and blue varities are considered most sacred. Shaligrams of different shapes are often associated with the different incarnations of Lord Vishnu (such as Narasimha, Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Vamana Avataras and so on). This webpage is for the devotees aspiring to obtain the rare Shaligram Shilas. We have been inspired by the devotees of Hare Krishna and others all over the world to pass on these auspicious Shaligrams to the devotees so that these Shilas can find the place at their puja altar. We have a large collection of rare Shaligrams which we have collected over many years. After a deep study we have gained immense knowledge and experience to name the Shaligram and recommend them to the devotees according to the ancient scriptures so that devotees can benefit out of it. We have around 1000 Shilas of different types. As per Skanda Purana there can never be a price put on any Shaligram as there is not enough gold, jewels or any precious thing exist in the world to equal even a single Shaligram. We accept a small donation to cover the cost of the wages, lodging, boarding and potter / transportation charges paid to the poor villagers who collect and bring them to us. These villagers risk their life in search of rare Shaligrams under very difficult and trying climatic conditions that exist in and around Kali Gandaki river at Muktinath (Himalayas Nepal) to bring these auspicious Shaligrams to all of us. As per Skanda Purana, Padma Purana and other epics, the worshipper of Shree Shaligram knows no fear and is blessed to attain all desirable things, worldly comforts, good wife, good sons, good health, immense wealth, peaceful environment prevails in his surroundings and he gets immense protection against all evil forces. His all anxieties, mental tension goes off and all ambitions are fulfilled Even the water that has just touched the Shaligram Shila becomes “Amrit” and by drinking it "man" is relived of all diseases. Worshipping of Shaligram helps in meditation and attainment of spiritual liberation. The devotees are hereby cautioned that spurious, fake, artificially carved black stones are very much available in the market and people are selling them at a very cheap price. Devotees are advised that they should approach a genuine organization to obtain authentic shaligrams which can give best results.
