Guest guest Posted January 7, 1997 Report Share Posted January 7, 1997 Dear Prapatti Group Members Mohan Sagar was referring to Saalagrammam worship. Mohan please note that it is not Saaligrammam, instead it is Saalagrammam. It is said that : "SAlagramma shilayamsthu Nithyam Sannihitho Hari:" Lord Hari is ever present in the Saalagrammam. That's why we do not do Avahanam for Saalagrama Pooja (unlike in the Bhimbams). However, even for Saalagramam one must perform the SAnnidhya Yachanam before commencing the Aradhanam. The worship of Lord Hari through the Saalagrammam appears to date from remote antiquity. Adi Sankara extols this worship vide one of his famous works (I don't recall the exact name of the work). It is also recommended that the numbers should be even (1 excluded). Therefore request your friend to get blessed with one more Saalagrammam to make it Four. Since we say "Devi Bhooshadhi Jhushto...", Saalagrammam represents "Samastha Parivaara of Srimam Narayana". Therefore Upacharam must be offered to all. Due to time constraints if you are not able to perform the Aradhanam daily, atleast offer some raisins and milk without fail. Lord Hari will ever take care of such a devotee. Thanks.
