Dear Swamin

very interesting. I believe it may help you also.

Types of Salagramam

 

Salagramam means one kind of stone, that should not be treated as an

ordinary stones like pebble or marbles etc. It is more precious and valued

than any other stones, which are said to be Hamsam of Sri Vishnu and has

lots of Power in it.

 

It is said that by doing poojas for the Salagramam in a proper way, we can

attain good level in our life but at the same time, not doing poojas can

also lead us to bad way. So, if we have Salagramam, we should be clean and

poojas should be done for it.

 

These Salagramams are found in various shapes and structures. Depending upon

the holes and the shapes, they are classified as given below:

 

1. Sri Lakshmi Varaha Murthi Salagramam:

Big and long hole and shining appearance. Two chakkarams will be found

inside the hole and lots of lines will be found.

 

Another kind of this salagramam are also found which will be somewhat black

and yellow colour mixed and two sides, Chakkaram will be found and both the

holes will be of same sizes.

 

2. Varaha Murthi:

This Salagramam will be of Indra blue colour and 3 big lines will be found.

This Salagramam is rare to be found and has very great power.

 

Another kind of the same category is found with a long faced which will be

covered by flower like structure and chakkaram will be found in the hole.

 

3. Matsya Murthi::

This kind of Salagramam will be long, looks like a Lotus and on its mouth,

lines will be found. The shape will be like a Fish and will be smooth with

dots on it. On the mouth, 2 holes and Chakkaram will be found.

 

4. Koorma Murthi::

This Salagramam will be in Indira Blue with 3 lines and its end will be

slightly raised upwards and has "Avartha Regai" (lines).

 

Likewise, lots of Salagramam are found namely

 

Suvetha Varaha Murthi

Poo Varaha Murthi

Sudharsana Murthi

Janarthanar

Maha Koorma Murthi

Koorma Varaha Murthi

Hayagreevar

Achyutha Murthi

Sri Seetha Rama Murthi

Lakshmi Gopala Murthi

Santhana Gopala Murthi

Shatsakra Murthi

Dhuvadha Sathma Madhavar

Puroshothaman

Damodharan.

 

Generally, Salagramam represents about a particular Murthi (Perumal) and

they have the shapes corresponding to that particular Perumal.

 

This is referred to as "Vajjra Kreetam". Inside these Salagramam, the

Perumal and Lakshmi Piratti are said to be found and by doing proper poojas

to these Salagramam will give us lots of credit and the Final Stage, the

Mukthi.

 

Taking care of these precious Salagramams in a proper way may lead us

towards the final destiny, the divine feet of Sriman Narayanan and at the

same time we should follow the proper method of doing pooja to these

Salagramams. So, if you have Salagramam in the house, by doing proper poojas

and by dedicating daily food, pure water and expressing the proper Mantra to

it can lead us to attain the Paramathma, Sriman Narayanan.
