Hare Krsna To All

Obeisances All glories to Srila Prabhupada What follows below are some points made by Srila Prabhupada regarding Salagram

worship and after that some excerpts from a small book published by Padmanabha Goswami of Radha Raman Temple, Vrndavana India, about how benefecial is it for one to have a Salagram Sila present in ones home and worship Him.

Hare Krsna Your humble servant Damaghosa das ------------------------------------- 1) SB 7.14.29 P Ideal Family Life

Therefore, in the temple there must be the Deity of the Lord, and theLord should be worshiped by the devotees. This combination of thedevotees and the Deity creates a first-class transcendental place. Aside from this, if a grhastha devotee worships the salagrama-sila,or the form of the Deity at home, his home also becomes a very greatplace. It was therefore customary for members of the three higherclasses--namely the brahmanas, ksatriyas and vaisyas--to worship thesalagrama-sila, or a small Deity of Radha-Krsna or Sita-Rama in eachand every home. This made everything auspicious. But now they havegiven up the Deity worship. Men have become modernized and areconsequently indulging in all sorts of sinful activities, andtherefore they are extremely unhappy.

2) Adi 13.86 The Advent of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Especially in every brahmana's house there must be a salagrama-sila to be worshiped by the brahmana family. This system is still current.People who are brahmana by caste, who are born in a brahmana family,must worship the salagrama-sila. Unfortunately, with the progress ofKali-yuga, the so-called brahmanas, although very proud of takingbirth in brahmana families, no longer worship the salagrama-sila. Butactually it has been a custom since time immemorial that a person bornin a brahmana family must worship the salagrama-sila in all

circumstances. In our Krsna consciousness society, some of the membersare very anxious to introduce the salagrama-sila, but we havepurposely refrained from introducing it because most of the members ofthe Krsna consciousness movement do not originally come from familiesof the brahmana caste. After some time, when we find that they areactually situated strictly in the line of brahminical behavior, thissalagrama-sila will be introduced.

3) Adi 7.45 Lord Caitanya in Five Features

There are many Vaisnava families in Bengal whose members, althoughnot actually born brahmanas, act as acaryas by initiating disciplesand offering the sacred thread as enjoined in the Vaisnava tantras.For example, in the families of Thakura Raghunandana Acarya, ThakuraKrsnadasa, Navani Hoda and Rasikananda-deva (a disciple of SyamanandaPrabhu), the sacred thread ceremony is performed, as it is for thecaste Gosvamis, and this system has continued for the past three tofour hundred years. Accepting disciples born in brahmana families,they are bona fide spiritual masters who have the facility to worshipthe salagrama-sila, which is worshiped with the Deity. As of thiswriting, salagrama-sila worship has not yet been introduced in ourKrsna consciousness movement, but soon it will be introduced in allour temples as an essential function of arcana-marga (Deity worship).

4) there are over 60 references made by Srila Prabhupada in his books to Salagram silas and their seva.The above are only a few.... SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF SALAGRAM SILA WORSHIP 1) Wherever Salagrama sila and Dwarka Silas sit together, Mukti also resides .2) Where both Salagram and Dwarka silas sit together all classes of opulence increase

unlimitedly.3) Whoever touches a salagrama sila, adorned with chakras becomes free from all sins.4) Any sila, although broken, cracked, split or broken asunder, is never inauspicious.

5) Both Laxsmi Devi and Lord Narayana reside in salagrama silas.

6) Varaha Dev Salagram gives material enjoyment and mukti.

7) Sudarshan Chakra Sila satisfies the aspirations of His devotees.

8) Sesa Ananta Sila has coils like a snake and is all auspicious.

9) Worship of Lord Narayana in a sila is more pleasing to Lord Narayana Himself than to

His own deity in a temple.

10) By worshipping a salagram sila one benefit is equal to one agni hotra sacrifice and giving

the entire world in charity.

11) If one serves a salagram sila he gets mukti even without giving any charity, doing any sacrifices study of the Vedas or going to tirthas.

12) In Kali yuga if a person worships a sila with faith , love, flowers, kirtan, and prayers, he

will eternally enjoy sublime spiritual happiness.

13) Any pious activity done within a 24 mile radius is multiplied a million times.

14) Anyone who dies within 2 miles of where a sila is worshipped goes back to Vaikuntha.

15) Even if a lusty person or one who carelessly worships a salagram sila, he will get mukti.

16) The results of fruitive activity can be calculated, but by the worship of a salgram sila the benefits are Unlimited.

I chant this saligram strotra matra in front of Lord Narayan Hrishi

Yudhistir asked

O Lord of lords Purushotama, I request you to tell me the saligram significance

Lord Replied

Himalaya is situated on the bank of river Gandaki. To the south of this Himalaya a big and beautiful land is situated where you can find saligrams sila. This is the place where Devi Dwarabati begins. This place is called Mukti Kshetra.

Saligram Silas found here are very precious and significant. These silas represent Lord Vishnu and the person who worship or keeps them in house or washes them and drinks the water or sprinkles it on his head becaomes free from all sins and is protected from untimely death. That person becomes free from all sains and diseases. The most feared sin Bramahatya ( Killing a Brahmin) is also washed away by worshiping Saligram.

The person who washes saligram with chakra everyday get rid of sins like Bramahatya and if he drinks the water daily, gets the boon equal to a thousand yagyas of Lord Vishnu.

The person, who worships saligram with Tulsi leaves daily, gets the boon of million Yagya.

Except damaged and broken Sila all silas are good to worship

Without worship, without offering any sweets or without any pilgrimages only chanting this saligram mantra is enough to wash away the sins and for the fulfillment of all desires.

There are various sizes and shapes of saligrams in which Lord Vishnu is situated in different incarnations.

Good Luck increases and gets satisfaction from children in every aspect by worshipping saligram black in color with little chakras

Person who gets the chance to look at the Vahudev sila becomes free from sins. Shreedhar,

Sukar,Vam, Harivarna, Varaha, Kurma and lots of other type of saligram are available. some Saligramas have the marks of cow feet and Narshimha Avtar.

Yellowish Saligram is very auspicious as Lord himself but reddish saligram is consider fearful and dangerous. Sankha, Cakra, Gada, Kurma are printed on saligram. Saligram with Sankha (conch) sign is considering Vamrup of lord Vishnu, where chakra in the middle is consider as Damodar saligram. Saligrams of different shapes – round, umbrella shape which has white lines are available; worshiping this kind of saligrams gives wealth and reputation in society. Flat shape saligrams create sorrow in family and saligram with sharp front side create war and tension in family

Saligram which have chakra around the head or on forehead and rest parts and clean and smooth are very auspicious and considered as Vamdeva sila. Yellowish or black in left side with chakra is consider as Laxmi Narshimha sila.

Worshipping long shape sila create poverty, and saligram having lagna chakra creat measures diseases even death.

Person who offers Tulsi leaves while worshipping saligram gets salvation and can stay at Vaikuntha (Place where Vishnu live) for a million years.

Therefore always worship saligram, chant saligram stotra which is very beneficial for mankind. We can get higher post on Vishnu Lok for doing so. All sins will be destroyed and one gets Vishnulok from worshiping the saligram.

There are various types of description available for Lord Vishnu’s ten incarnation therefore Lord’s incarnation Shree Saligram’s worship, Prayer and drinking the water washes away sins of a million lives and gives prosperity, wealth and reputation so Saligram should be worshiped.

Kanakadhara Stotram

The Kanakadhara Stotra is composed by Adi Sankaracarya. One day he went for Bhiksha and visited the house of a poor Brahmin.

Nothing was available in the house to offer. The Brahmin lady earnestly searched for some thing to give and at last she found an

Amla fruit and offered it in the bowl of Sankaracarya. Sri Sankaracarya was deeply moved at the sincerity and devotion of the

poverty stricken woman and immediately in an extempore way started imploring Goddess Lakshmi to be merciful towards this poor

Brahmin lady to drive away her poverty. He recited twenty two slokas in praise of Goddess Lakshmi Who was pleased and appeared

before Sankaracarya. Sankaracarya pleaded her to grant riches to the Brahmin lady.

Goddess Lakshmi said that the Brahmin lady did not qualify for any riches in this life as she did not to do any charities in her

previous life. Sankaracarya replied that in this life she gave him Amla fruit with very great reverence in spite of her extreme poverty

and this act of her alone is enough to shower riches on her.

Hearing this Goddess Lakshmi was greatly moved and immensely pleased with the advocacy of the argument of Sri Sankaracarya,

showered her with instant rain of golden Amla fruits.

Sankaracarya while reciting the Kanakadhara Stotra extolled Lakshmi in all her eight qualifying manifestations Asta Lakshmi).

Astha Lakshmi Stotra

Lakshmi, the consort of Lord Vishnu, is the most sought after Goddess as she is the Goddess of wealth. What most people forget is

that wealth is not just money. Wealth is of eight kinds and this Asthalakshmi Stotra is the worship of Lakshmi as the Goddess of the

eight kinds of Wealth.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of a fish! All glories to You! You easily acted as a boat in

the form of a giant fish just to give protection to the Vedas, which had sunk in the turbulent sea of devastation.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of a tortoise! All glories to You! In this incarnation as a

divine tortoise the great Mandara Mountain rests upon Your gigantic back as a pivot for churning the ocean of milk. From holding up

the huge mountain a large scarlike depression is put in Your back, which has become most glorious.

vasati dasana-sikhare dharani tava lagna

kesava dhrta-sukara-rupa jaya jagadisa hare …3

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of a boar! All glories to You! The earth, which had

become immersed in the Garbhodaka Ocean at the bottom of the universe, sits fixed upon the tip of Your tusk like a spot upon the

moon.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of half-man, half-lion! All glories to You! Just as one can

easily crush a wasp between one’s fingernails, so in the same way the body of the wasplike demon Hiranyakasipu has been ripped

apart by the wonderful pointed nails on Your beautiful lotus hands.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of a dwarf-brahmana! All glories to You! O wonderful

dwarf, by Your massive steps You deceive King Bali, and by the Ganges water that has emanated from the nails of Your lotus feet,

You deliver all living beings within this world.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of Bhrgupati [Parasurama]! All glories to You! At

Kuruksetra You bathe the earth in the rivers of blood from the bodies of the demoniac ksatriyas that You have slain. The sins of the

world are washed away by You, and because of You people are relieved from the blazing fire of material existence.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of Ramacandra! All glories to You! In the battle of Lanka

You destroy the ten-headed demon Ravana and distribute his heads as a delightful offering to the presiding deities of the ten

directions, headed by Indra. This action was long desired by all of them, who were much harassed by this monster.

vahasi vapusi visade vasanam jaladabham

kesava dhrta-haladhara-rupa jaya jagadisa hare …8

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of Balarama, the wielder of the plow! All glories to You!

On Your brilliant white body You wear garments the color of a fresh blue rain cloud. These garments are colored like the beautiful

dark hue of the River Yamuna, who feels great fear due to the striking of Your plowshare.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of Buddha! All glories to You! O Buddha of

compassionate heart, you decry the slaughtering of poor animals performed according to the rules of Vedic sacrifice.

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed the form of Kalki! All glories to You! You appear like a comet and

carry a terrifying sword for bringing about the annihilation of the wicked barbarian men at the end of the Kali-yuga.

sri-jayedeva-kaver idam uditam udaram

O Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari who have assumed these ten different forms of incarnation! All glories to You! O

readers, please hear this hymn of the poet Jayadeva, which is most excellent, an awarder of happiness, a bestower of

auspiciousness, and is the best thing in this dark world.

vedan uddharate jaganti vahate bhu-golam udbibhrate

daityam darayate balim chalayate ksatra-ksayam kurvate

paulastyam jayate halam kalayate karunyam atanvate

mlecchan murchayate dasakrti-krte krsnaya tubhyam namah

O Lord Krsna, I offer my obeisances unto You, who appear in the forms of these ten incarnations. In the form of Matsya You rescue

the Vedas, and as Kurma You bear the Mandara Mountain on Your back. As Varaha You lift the earth with Your tusk, and in the form

of Narasimha You tear open the chest of the daitya Hiranyakasipu. In the form of Vamana You trick the daitya king Bali by asking

him for only three steps of land, and then You take away the whole universe from him by expanding Your steps. As Parasurama You

slay all of the wicked ksatriyas, and as Ramacandra You conquer the raksasa king Ravana. In the form of Balarama You carry a plow

with which You subdue the wicked and draw toward You the River Yamuna. As Lord Buddha You show compassion toward all the

living beings suffering in this world, and at the end of the Kali-yuga You appear as Kalki to bewilder the mlecchas (degraded low-

class men).

The Purusha Suktam in praise of Lord Vishnu is one of the Pancha Sooktams of the Vedic tradition.

Sahasra Sheershaa Purushah: Sahasraakshas Sahasrapaath

Sabhoomim Visvatho Vruthvaa Athyathishta Dhasaangulam

1. A thousand heads has the Universal man, Purusha; as also a thousand eyes and a thousand feet He has. He spreads over the

earth on all sides and beyond it as far as ten fingers can count. [Infinite numbers, without a beginning or end.]

Purusha Ye’ve’dhagum Sarvam Yath Bhootham Yascha Bowyam

Uthamru Thathvath Esaanah: Yadhannenaathi Rohathi

2. Purusha, the Man, is all that has been in the past,all that is coming and all that exists now. He is the ruler of immortality, as He

comes out beyond everything and grows through food.

Ethaa Vaanasya Mahimaa Athojyaa Yaaguscha Poorushah

Paadhosya Visvaa Bhoothaani Thripaadhasyaa Mruthandhivi

3. What we see here is all the greatness of this Purusha, the Man, and is yet more than this. All creatures of this universe is only a

quarter of Him and the other three quarters are what is remaining immortal in Heaven.

Thripdoorthva Udhaith Purushah: Paathos -e’haabhavaath Punah

Thatho Vishvang Vyakraamath Saasanaana Sane Abhi

4. This three fourths of Purusha arise beyond the universe. One fourth of him only arose again and again here on earth. Thence, as

He spread in all directions, appeared all those creations that eats food and that which eats not on this earth.

Thasmaadh viraadajaayatha Viraajo Adhipoorushah: |

Sajaatho Athyarikshatha Pascaadhbhoomim -athopuraha

5. From him the brilliant Viraaj was born, from Viraj came the primal Purusha.

When he was born, he spread beyond the earth, on all the sides to create all beings.

[Viraj is the Female principle, which with the primal Purusha produces the concrete universe. In the Atharvaveda She is an

independent creative principle identified with Brahma, with speech and with Prajapathi.]

Yath purushena Havishaa Dhevaayakyamath anvatha

Vasanthoasya Aseethaajyam Greeshma Idhmas Saradhdhavihi

6. When the Devas (Celestial Angels) spread on the sacrificial offerings with Purusha as oblation, spring was its ghee [melted butter]

summer the fuel, autumn the oblation.

Sapthaasyaasan Pari dhayah: Thrissabtha Samidhah Krithaah

Dhevaayath Yagnyamthan Vaanaah: Abhathnan Purusham Pasum

7. Seven Devas were the sticks that enclose the place of Yajña (Sacrificial Fire rituals), thrice seven [21] philosophical principles

were made the fuel sticks; the Devas performed the Yajña and they bound the Purusha as the cow at the Yajña.

Tham Yagnyam Bharhishi Prowkshan Purusham Jaathamagrathah

Thena Devaa Ayajantha Saadhyaa Rushayaschaye

8. As the sacrifice on the Yajña they besprinkled the Purusha, born in the beginning. With him the Devas performed the Yajña along

with Saadhyas (other Devas) and the Sages.

the forest and those of the villages.

Thasmaath Yagnyath sarvahuthah: Ruchassaamaani Jaggire

Chandaagumsi Jaggire Thasmaath Yajusthasmaath ajaayatha

10. From that sacrifice completely offered were born the verses (Rg Veda) and

the Saaman Melodies (Saamaveda). The Chhandhas metres were born from it.

From it was born the Sacrificial formula (Yajurveda).

Thasmaadhasvaa Ajayantha Yekecho Bhayaadhathah

Ghavoha Jaggire Thasmaath Thasmaath jaathaa ajaavayah

11. From this [Yajña] the horses were born and those that have one row and

two rows of teeth. Cattle were born from it. From it were born goats and sheep.

Yath Prusham Vyadhadhuhu Kathidhaavya kalpayan

Mukamkimasya Kowbhahoo Kaa Vooroo Paadhaa uchyethe

12. When they created this Universal Purusha, into how many forms did they make him? What was the form of his mouth? What was

his two arms? What are his thighs and feet called?

Brhaahmanosya Mukmaaseeth Bhaahoo Raajanyakruthah

Uruthathasya Yadhvaisyah: Pathbyaagum Soodhro Ajaayatha

13. His mouth formed the Brahmin (teacher or Priest), his two arms were made the Rajaanya (Kshathriya or warrior), his two thighs

the Vaisyaa (traders or Agriculturist) and from his feet the Soodhra (worker or servant) was born.

Chandramaa Manso Jaathah: Chakchos Sooryo Ajaayatha

Muka -adinthrascha -agnischa Praanaath Vaayurajaayatha

14. His mind (manas) formed the moon, from his eye became the sun, from his mouth came Indra and Agni, from his breath Vaayu

(wind) was born.

Naabhyaa Aaseetha -anthariksham Seershnodhyows Samavarthatha

Pathbhyaam Bhoomir Dhisasrothraath – Thathaa Loghagum Akalpayan

15. From his navel arose the open sky, from his head the heaven originated, from his feet the earth was formed, the directions came

from his ears. Thus did they create all the worlds.

Vedhaahametham Purusham Mahaantham – Aadhithyavarnam Thamasasthu Paare

Sarvaani Roopaani Vichithya dheerah: Naamaanikruthvaa – Abhivadhan Yathaasthe

16. The Purusha, is the creator of all forms and is given all the names. As we know his great qualities, He is all powerfull, beyond

darkness, bright like the Sun performing all actions.

Thehanakam Mahimaanassajanthe – Yathra Poorve Saadhyassanthi Devaah

18. The Devas who worshipped this Purusha, by this Yajña and by all the Dharma,

attained high levels in Svarga. All persons performing this Yajña shall reach similar status.

`Hayagriiva stotram

Hayagriva haya means horse and greeva means neck. The horse faced form of Vishnu, is the God of Vidya or knowledge and

prosperity according to scriptures. One who prays Hayagriva shall be blessed with all knowledge and wisdom. Legend has it that

during the creation, the demons Madhu and Kaitabha stole the Vedas from Bhramha and Vishnu took the Hayagriva form to recover

the Vedas from the demons. Another legend has it that during the creation, Vishnu compiled the Vedas in the Hayagriva form and

that the Hayagriva Avatara precedes the Matsya Avatara wherein he recovered the stolen Vedas from the demons Madhu and

Kaitabha.
