The worship of
Lakshmi Shaligram bestows the devotee with extremely good health, wealth and a
man can tremendously progress in the business and expands it to very high level
very successfully.
Shaligrama (or
Salagrama) Shilas in worship can be traced to the time of Adi Shankara through
the latter's works. Specifically, his commentary to the verse 1.6.1 in
Taittiriya Upanishad and his commentary to the verse 1.3.14 of the Brahma
Sutras suggest that the use of Saligrama in the worship of Vishnu has been a
well-known Hindu practice.
The largest and
heaviest Shaligrama can be seen at the Jagannath Temple, dedicated to Vishnu,
at Puri in Orissa. The main ISKCON temple in Scotland, called 'Karuna Bhavan'
is famous for housing the largest number of Shaligram Shilas outside of India.
Shaligram
refers to a fossilized shell used in South Asia as an aniconic symbol and
reminder of the god Vishnu as the Universal Principle by some Hindus. Shaligrams
are usually collected from river-beds or banks such as the Gandaki river in Nepal.
They are considered easy to carry and popular in certain traditions of
Vaishnavism, as an aniconic representation of the divine. They are typically in
the form of spherical, black-coloured Ammonoid fossils.
