rajivji, kindly mail me the price list of shaligram shilas with you

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the complements you have given after visiting our website.

Shaligrama Shilas have no price list as they are priceless. I will mail you

personally the donation amount which we give to the poor villagers who under

very tough conditions prevailing at the Gandaki , brings us these auspicious

Shilas.

Now regarding Rudraksha bead yes I will send you not one but three beads ( one

each 4 mukhi, 5mukhi and 6 mukhi) as a gift.

I hope this will help.

Haribol,

Rajiv

wonderful to read your artical. It is really very good and extremely

informative. You are really a very learned personality and its my profound

previledge to have interaction with you. As I had mentioned earlier, that the

devotees can visit my site viz www.shaligram.com (visit photo gallery) and

choose what ever they like, still I will be sending you pictures of very very

rare Shilas. We have a collection of more than 2000 shilas as of now and it is

still

increasing day by day. I am sure that 'Darshanas' of these Shilas will be

definitely a treat for the eyes of the devotees.> We have been in touch with

ISKON society at Mumbai and there we come across very learned Mahatamas who

have performed the 'Namakaran ' (naming ceremony) of all our shilas. Also they

had very unique and rare litrature with them which I could get from them and
