The Shaligram Shilas
(Ammonite fossils or Salagrama) are worshipped as manifestations of Vishnu
himself, identifiable from other stones by special markings which resemble
Vishnu's paraphernalia such as mace, conch, lotus and disc (chakra). They are mostly
black, or mixed in colour and are usually kept closed in a box and are only
brought out for daily worship (puja). The Shilas are usually hereditary and are
passed down through many generations.
In most
Vaishnava temples the main deity is decorated with a 'garland' mala,
specifically an Akshamala, of 108 Saligrama Shilas. But the real scientific
story of Shaligram is not being told to the common people.
Shaligrams are
always naturally found in the river
Gandaki. These also include the famous Kali-Gandaki River, Muktinath, Damodar
Himal, Damodar Kunda, Devghat, etc.
As per
Gautamiya Tantra, near the Kali -
Gandaki River, there is a big place called
Shalagram. The stones which appear in that place are called shalagram
shila. According to the Hindu tradition
this stone is the shelter for a small insect
known as Vajra-Keeta that has a
diamond tooth which cuts through the
Shaligram stone and stays inside it. The Saligram stones are hundreds of million years old when the Himalaya was an
ocean floor .The marks on the Shaligram give it a special significance, with the pattern often
representing that of Sudarshan Chakra, the
Discus of Lord Vishnu.
The Shaligram
Shilas bestows the devotee with immense
wealth, wordly comforts, dignity and respect in the society, removes hurdles, provides extreme
protection from any type of occult,
Nazar Dosha, black magic, removes all types of Doshas from the lives of
the devotee, shows the devotee correct
path for progress, spiritually uplifts him,
helps in undertaking Sadhnas and attainment of Salvation.
The Shaligram
Shilas ensures a peaceful environment
prevails at the devotee's house and the work place. Lord Narayan and Laxmi accept the prayers,
obineances and stays at that place where
Shaligram Shilas are worshipped.
