According to Lord Shiva in the Skanda Purana,
"In this mortal world, I do not accept any of their worship or obeisance
who have not worshipped the sacred Shaligram."
Etymologically, the word Shaligrama is
derived from the word Shali, which means God; hence the abode Grama of God came
to be known as Shaligrama.
Shaligram is a naturally found sacred stone
in the Himalayan stream of the Gandaki river, located in the Muktinath area of
Nepal.
Shaligrama are sacred stones that represent
Lord Vishnu in an abstract form. They are distinguished by marks that resemble
and represent the Sudarshan Chakra, which rests on Lord Vishnu's index finger.
Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi make their
homes wherever Shaligrama is located. Shaligrama cleanses the soul and brings
success in all areas of life.
In Shaligram's worship, no initiation is
necessary; there's no exceptional hymnology or particular prayer procedure, nor
any requirement for a skilled priest. Shaligram Shila does not require
consecration, so never perform aahwahan (invoking or calling upon a deity) or
Visarjan (respectfully requesting the deity's departure) on it.
Much as the fire is latent in the wood and
pops out when triggered, Vishnu pervades the Shaligram stones and appears when
the stone is worshipped. A Shaligram stone carries on to be worthy of worship
even when it's broken, split or cracked. It doesn't lose its auspicious
character. Only the discus (Chakra) sign must be present in the stone. Even a
Shaligram stone damaged in whatever way won't become unfit for worship. It's
not always expressive and sacred. Nothing could reasonably be a deterrent to
his worship.
Worshiped in any way will bestow the
benefits, and there is no error of any kind. However, the benefits are
limitless if it is formally honored with the particulars meticulously observed.
The beholder's sins will be washed away
simply by looking at the Shaligram stone. Drinking water will instantly purify
even the most heinous criminal who has committed countless sins.
Any religious observance, present,
consecration, obsequies, or worship must be performed in conjunction with a
Shaligram.
When a dying person is made to drink some of
the water in which the Shaligram stone is bathed, he will be freed from all
sins and will reach the heavenly abode of Vishnu.
Shaligram, alongside Tulsi leaves, and conch,
placed on a plate, is considered the worthiest.
The person who worships Shaligrama with Tulsi
leaves every day and partakes the same in the lord's holy presence gets the
merit of performing crores of yagnas.
Shaligram Shila Puja is incomplete without
the leaves of Tulsi. If the leaves of Tulsi are not available, use Tulsi Mala.
Worshipping with articles like milk, curd,
ghee, honey, sugar and panchamrit, and bathing the stone with them, will
entitle the devotee to dwell in the celestial realms for hundreds of decades.
As per the Sri Shaligram Shila Stotra, good
luck increases. One is blessed with progeny and graced in every aspect by
worshipping Shaligrama, which is black and endowed with little chakras. Anyone
who worships or even keeps in the house or bathes the Shaligram and drinks
water or pours those waters on their head becomes free from all sin.Worshiping
the Saligram washes away the most feared sin of Bramahatya (the killing of a
Brahmin).
If you worship more than one Shaligram Shila,
make sure they are all an even number, and one can use one, four, six,
eight, or more Shaligram Shilas.
Never place Shaligram Shila directly on the
ground.
Never use akshat (unbroken rice) in the puja
of Shaligram.
Daily Puja of Shaligram is a must as it is
the dwelling place of Lord Vishnu.
One of the most effective methods of
achieving overall success is to make an offering of Tulsi leaves with each name
of Vishnu Sahasranaam.
