shaligram

[Guest guest]

To my dear spiritual companions,

 

Believers in the Hindu Religion and God, worship Shree Shaligram with full faith

because it is regarded as the symbol of Lord Vishnu. Shaaligram (fossil) is

found in Gandaki River at Muktinaath in Nepal. It is said in the Hindu

Mythology that only the drinking of the charanmrit, obtained from bathing the

Shree Shaligram with the mixture of the Ganga Water, Curd, Milk, Ghee and Honey

with the Tulsi Leaves, vanishes the sinful and maligned mentality of the person.

Without taking the charanamrit, the worship of Shaligram the Lord Vishnu is

meaningless.The sign of Vishnu chakra is found on Shaligram. The chakra is seen

clearly on the Shaligram which opens by itself. In, Shaligrams, which are

closed, there are small holes which make us realize that there is chakra in

it.According to Shiva Puran the reasons of chakra's existence in it, is that

once upon a time Brinda curded the Lord Vishnu to be converted into Black Stone

and worms will bite him. Therefore a worm takes birth in Shaligram and bites it

in a circular form. It contains very little gold in it, which is lost in it. It

is surprise in itself.By worshipping Shaaligram the man gets pleasure, comfort,

prosperity and honour. The man who worships it gets salvation.Shaligram is

never put at instantly the place of worship after purchasing it. Worshipping of

Shaligram becomes more important if somebody else presents it to the worshipper.

If a newly wedded couple worships the Shaaligram presented by someone else,

their marital life would be happy and prosperous.Special Note - The worshipper

of Shaaligram must keep the leaves of Tulsi beside a Shaaligram or it must be

put in the pot in which grows the Tulsi Plant because Shaaligram without Tulsi

is regarded incomplete, as described in scriptures.

 

Thanks.
