Shalagram Adbhuta Shila from late Kali Baba

[Guest guest]

Sri Shalagram Sila is manifest externally as a water-tumbled stone;

therefore Shalagram Silas may be said to be gems. The word "gem" is

used for any fine quality stone, pearl or coral that is rare,

attractive, portable, durable, valuable, and powerful; in the case of

Shalagram Sila the ruling Deity is Lord Hari, also known as Sri

Narayana Bhagavan.

 

Because a Shalagram Sila is ruled by Bhagavan, Who is greater than the

sum total of ALL the universes (mahat-tattva), therefore the 'material'

worth of a real Shalagram Sila is beyond calculation and impossible to

measure. Buying/selling a Shalagram Sila is considered a sinful

offense; receiving a gift of a genuine Shalagram Shila from a qualified

Hari-bhakta is the only way to properly obtain such a priceless and

spiritual (and material) treasure.

 

A normal fine quality planetary gem, like a ruby or pearl, needs only

an initial invocation to begin ownership; but a Sri Shalagram Sila must

be worshiped daily with certain paraphernalia such as Tulasi leaves,

Ganga-jala, fruit and water, etc. Puja is offered to Shalagram Sila

according to the desire of Paramatman within the heart of the devotee.

Sri Shalagram Sila ALWAYS controls his Own worship from within the

heart of His sevak.

 

Attached is a color picture of the sadhu who gave me my Shalagram Sila.

This photo was taken in 1975 when he was already over 100 years of age.

When he was a child he was given in alms to wandering monks who brought

him up as a bal-brahmachari. He lived over 90 years in the Himalayas

performing tapasya. He passed away in Bhaktapur, Nepal in 1999. His

name was Sri Hari-siddhi Kali Baba.

 

Kali Baba was the most famous sadhu in Nepal before his demise. He was

responsible for founding schools in Dhulikhel, Nepal, and he also

organized three orthodox Srimad Bhagavatam Sapta Maha-Yajnas which were

huge events in the Kingdom. Some people say he was a Shivite-sadhu; but

I knew him well speaking in Hindi, and his name was "Hari-siddhi;" as

for Lord Shiva, Kali Baba himself was Lord Shiva.

 

Hari-siddhi Kali Baba had a most amazing collection of Shalagram Silas

in his "dhooni" (where a sadhu keeps the fire). One Narasinga Shalagram

was museum quality perfect and weighted about 20 kg, most of which was

the huge chakra. The Shalagram he gave me (pictured above) is 1 inch in

diameter with perfect chakra and shape, and he took that Shalagram from

his friend in Pashupati Nath Mandira (who sold religious items) and

told me It was better than any of the ones he had. It was-IS perfect.

Kali Baba put the shila in a small bag and handed it to me, no charge.

With Kali Baba there was NEVER any charge.

 

Because Sri Hari-siddhi Kali Baba personally gave me Lord Vishnu, in

Shalagram Sila murti, therefore I am eternally indebted to His

Holiness. I hope you will see his photo because he was most

extra-ordinary.

 

BTW: The Shalagram he gave me is the best, most perfect water tumbled

with perfect double-sided single chakra embedded in the 1" smooth black

egg-shaped stone. Amazing as you can see in the picture.

 

Best rgds,
