The Shaligram Shilas (Ammonite fossils) 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.
