Sri Shalagram Shila

[Guest guest]

Hi Tiina,

 

Namaste!!! Do you mean http://www.salagram.net ? If that is the one then I

know it... I'm hosting and sponsoring that site. They have as much information

on Shalagram as one could ever need.

 

On my site I have a page with important Vedic quotes:

http://www.agt-gems.com/salagram-quotes.html

 

Sukriya!!!

 

Y/s, Richard

Dear Richardji,

 

yes, that's the very same page! Glad you're part of it! And I liked

the quotes on your page.

 

At the other page, there's an article I particularly liked - "The

Collectors and the Collected". It asks an interesting question: with

Sri Salagrama Silas, who is in possession of whom? Who is really the

Collector and who are the Collected? This, I think goes for all

Sacred Objects.

 

Through God's mercy I have been given Salagramas as gifts, even so

that I too have been able to give them to people who love and take

good care of them.

 

A few years ago I made a site on Sri Salagrama Silas in my language

which is Estonian, as an act of love and of course, as information.

Its very simple but I loved making it.

http://www.geocities.com/tigrevaliente/

there's another similarly simple one on Rudrakshas:

http://www.geocities.com/xenamacbeal/

 

If I may, I'd like to ask your opinion: a friend from India recently

sent me a Sila which is different from the Salagrama Silas who are

with me at this time (they are all black). This one is brownish, the

surface is a bit warm and has a large mouth on the side. Inside,

several chakras can be seen. It looks like an angry animal and

frankly, its a bit scary. Do you happen to have any experiences with

this kind of Sila?

 

Many thanks,

Tiina
