Actually all the Shaligama Shilas with or without Chakras are

equally powerful as all are 'Sakshat Vishnu'. But I personally think

that Shaligrama Shila with Chakras are more powerful. I have felt

the difference in the environment in my house when I brought some

Shaligramas with Chakras. It might be psychological for me but

definitely I observed a drastic change in my life. It was all for

good.
