Guest guest Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Dear fellow members, Namaste!!! Everyone should know that genuine Ammonite Gandaki Shalagram Shilas are NEVER transparent nor translucent. There is some cheating going on at Pashupatinath Mandira, and elsewhere, tumbled pyrope garnets (black but transparent) as round black stones are being fraudulently presented as REAL Shalagram Shilas. Members please note. Best wishes, Richard Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hare Krishna, I agree to Mr. RSB that Gandakai Shaligrams are never translucent. It is not only near or outside Pashupatinath temple that the people are deceiving the innocent devotees by giving fake Shaligrams but there are several other places too at Kathmandu or in the interior of Nepal like Pokhra or Jomsom etc. that people are cheating the devotees by giving so called Shilas made up of cement and painted black. It has several time happened with me that devotees have brought Shilas from Nepal and they want to know the name of the Shila and to get that checked for genuity and it is really painful for me to tell them that they have been duped because they have very strong faith in that piece of stone which they are worshipping thinking that as Shailgram. So it will be most prudent for the devotees to take Shaligram Shilas from a authentic source and it is equally important to know reasonable details about the Shila they are taking to their Altar and worship procedure. So a knowledeable supplier would be the best option. Thanks and Regards, Haribol Rajiv Krishna Dasa www.shaligram.comRichard Shaw Brown <rsbj66 wrote: Dear fellow members,Namaste!!!
