Namaste Devotees ! I Rajiv Krishna Dasa welcome you to the world of Saligramas. Shaligrams are the divine gift of Lord Vishnu to the mankind, whose worship can
spiritually uplift and show us the way to philanthropy, austerity and Salvation. Lord Vishnu has been taking birth in several forms (incarnations) duing the time immemorial and is saving the mankind from the hardships and miseries. In Kalyuga, Shaligram Shilas which are His direct manifestation will continue to show the light of conciousness and spiritual liberation to the mankind.
The devotees who have been benefitted wants to accumulate atleast 108 Shilas because as per 'Garuda Purana' Lord Vishnu has mentioned that, “Where 108 Shilas are kept and worshipped, that place becomes 'Vaikuntha' and I personally come and stay there and bless the worshipper". Due to the prevalent myths and misconceptions about this mystic Shila the devotees are sometimes not sure whether they would worship the Shila correctly. www.shaligram.com has determined to remove all misconceptions about this pious stone from the mind of the people and take atleast one Shaligram Shila to every Altar that is existing on this Earth. I would request you to kindly refer to 'Help' icon......Read More
