Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hari Om! Hari Bolo! Dear Richardji and other Krishna's please accept adiyen's respectful pranams! My jiva would like to express this about saligrama sila. First of all "I" do not exist it is only Lord in your self exists. The Lord is seeking to see HIS real form. For the sake of the email my jiva will narrate with the word I denoting my jiva. I am not a born Vaishnava nor born Shaivaite nor a born brahmin. I am not a member of any organization like ISKCON nor Shaivism. Many years before I started to wear Rudra-ka-aaksh which I got from Matha Neetaji and Bhagvan Dharmadevji and still adore them to the core. My jiva thinks that it is a staunch worshipper of Bhagvan Rudra and did not like some of the followers of Lord Vishnu for they think others are wimps and useless. Anyways the Rudraksha started to work in me and I started to realise what is all these Rudra, Vishnu and Brahma etc. During the course of my spiritual journey I came to know about Saligrama and Naramadeshwar. I went around begging with various "Dasas" to give me one sailigrama sila. I was throughly interviewed and was deemed unfit by these so called Saligrama worshippers. I was very sad and I felt that Lord Vishnu likes only certain people and why should Lord come to a lower being like me. Lo, Matha Neetaji from Rudra Centre was gracious enough to send me 4 Saligrama silas free for my purchase with them. I worshipped them with Nitya Seva as advised in Sri Saligrama Gosha and it can be found in www.salagram.net web site which is maintained by Bhagvan Sri Sri Jaya Thirtha Charan Dasa in New Zealand. I kept his web site as my Guru and went on doing this seva, years passed on, and the silas started to increase in numbers. Some "learned" people suggested I am doing this wrongly and will land in hell etc. I consulted some Thantri's and Namboodri's in Lord Krishna temple in Guruvayoor, Kerala to do a Prashnam. I was told the Lord is very happy with what I do and the response was just do what you can do but do it sincerely with faith. I have donated some of the silas to many in this group and still the Lord Shri Hari has been merciful in sending me new sila forms. I have also noticed that the number of Saligramas and Shiva lingas are increasing constantly in my house and I try to do the seva to best of my jiva's ability. Our jivas do not have any control on the Lord's Silas or Shiva Lingas. The Lord Shri Krishna/Lord Rudra decide who will worship HIM and when HE has to abandon the silas. No jiva can judge another jiva only Lord Shri Krishna decides that. My jiva's lineage my son's jiva is also doing the seva along with me, but it is unto the Lord Shri Krishna to decide if my son will continue the seva. In the transcendal form of the Lord Shri Krishna, only HE exists in our jivas. The Lord in us is seeking HIS real undescribable magnificient form. A realised jiva will not need the outside form of worship (poojas, wearing tulsi, rudraksha which is outside the jiva), the jiva will continue to do maanasya pooja to realise the Lord. This is the powerful form of worship than the outside forms of worship. So donating a saligrama means the Lord has decided to leave from you to another jiva. If the receiver though might be the best of the brahmins and knows vedas, Lord Shri Hari needs to bless that jiva for seva else even the best of the brahmins will donate the sila to a temple or someone else. So hey jivas, we do not control anything nor its movement nor its stay nor its glory. The transcendal Lord Shri Krishna decides everything for it is HE who is the Saligrama, HE is the Conch, HE is the milk, HE is in you and HE is worshipping HIMSELF to realise HIM. SubhamDinamAstu! or Have a nice day! SarvamSriKrishnaArpanamastu! Om Tat Sat SarvamSriSatyaNarayanaArpanamastu! Richard Shaw Brown <rsbj66 wrote: PERFECT REPLY. I only have one Shalagram, and I hope my son will continue the puja when I'm too old. I'm 58 and my son, JIva, is only 8. Now we have Sri Lakshmi Shank together with Salagram it feels very auspicious.
