How do I choose my Shaligram

 

 

Worship Shree Shaligram for six values of life:

Righteous living, Wealth, Protection, good health, pleasures and

Spiritual

 

Shaligrams may be worshipped by men and women and all people of all

religions alike. God is the all pervading existance and no

distinctions occurs at His level. What is needed for blessings to

happen is love, faith and gratitude.

 

Shaligrams are an iconic representation of Lord Vishnu and one who

worships them is blessed with peace, protection, abundance and

manifestation of desires. Just as Lord Vishnu had many Avatars and

forms and one who worships any one of them gets blessings from Lord

Vishnu Himself, just so Shaligrams were categorized in many ways as

devotees searched for marks and identifications to find which form of

Vishnu they represent. But worship of any of them, would bestow the

same blessings as that of any other. Ancient authentic references do

not make distinctions among salagrama stones; any Salagrama-stone is

taken as a visible representation of Vishnu. The salagrama-lore that

seeks to identify the different stones and ascertain their worship-

worthiness is obviously a part of the later puranic culture. Also in

all the Puranas, the identifications are mentioned, but nowhere the

benefits or the blessings of the different forms are mentioned

distinctly, meaning very clearly that blessings that follow any form

is equivalent the other.

 

Satyam Shivam Sundaram (meaning, " Truth is God and God is

beautiful " ). So select a Shaligram which you find beautiful and

attracted to. We have chosen the jewels from Gandaki for you, which

we have been collecting for past 7 years. Normally the Silas found

there are round ones and many are uneven shaped ones with breakages

around the surface as the Silas rolls in the river. But we have

carefully selected the ones that have beautiful impressions, even

unbroken edges and beautiful dark colours. We thank the local people

who painstakingly collected these silas by diving deep into the river

for days on all these years. Few times they were rewarded for the

silas as they matched our choice and many times they had to go back

empty handed. But we took good care of them and saw that they were

well taken care of monetarily.

 

These Silas all vibrate with pure existencial energy. So select the

one you best vibe with and bring Him home. Also the amount you donate

will be used for a worthy cause. We have plans to set up a meditation

centre free for people where satsangs, mantras, religious discourses,

meditation and healing, would be done to elevate the conciousness of

the people.
