Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 In Sri Hari-bhakti-vilas it is stated, "merely by touching a genuine Salagram Sila one becomes free from the sins of millions of births, so what to speak of worshiping Him. By puja of Salagrama Sila one gains the direct association of Lord Hari." The Skanda Purana states that, "a genuine Salagram Sila is directly a manifestation of the Supreme Lord Visnu and does not require any installation." The area within a radius of twenty-four miles from where a Salagrama Sila is worshiped is considered a holy place (tirtha). Anyone who sees, bathes, worships, or bows to a Salagrama Sila will receive the same piety as doing millions of sacrifices and giving millions of cows in charity." "Without having accumulated pious activities, it is very difficult to find a Salagrama Sila in this world, especially in the age of Kali-yuga." In the Padma Purana it is stated, "if a devotee who is properly initiated in prescribed mantras does the puja of Salagrama Sila, he will attain the Supreme Lord's spiritual abode without a doubt."
