Shaligram: The Divine and Living Form of Lord Vishnu

The Moksha-bestowing Stone Manifested from Nepal’s Sacred Kali-Gandaki

Shaligram is not an ordinary stone; it is the living, conscious, and eternal embodiment of Lord Vishnu Himself. Originating from Nepal’s holy Kali-Gandaki River, these sacred Shaligrams have been revered since ancient times as the stones that bestow liberation (moksha).

The source of this sacred river is the Muktinath Dham – the eternal abode where Lord Shrihari resides in the form of liberation itself. According to Vaishnava tradition, it is believed that until one has the darshan of Muktinath and worships the Shaligram, the path to moksha does not fully open.

Shaligram bears no human craftsmanship; it is a wondrous and divine creation of nature. Within it resides the complete essence of Lord Vishnu –

• It is the sound (Naad) that resonates in meditation.
• It is the seed (Beej) from which devotion sprouts.
• It is the light (Tej) that dispels darkness with illumination.
• It is the truth (Satya) that remains unshaken in every circumstance.

Shaligram is also regarded as a symbol of the five great elements (Pancha-Mahabhuta): the energy of fire, the purity of water, the movement of air, the vastness of ether, and the stability of earth. Thus, this sacred stone radiates peace, balance, prosperity, and spiritual light in the devotee’s life.

The worship of Lord Shaligram is simple, yet must be done with pure devotion –

• Begin after a morning bath, with a clean body and a serene mind.
• Offer sacred water, Tulsi leaves, sandalwood, rice grains, and flowers.
• Chant either “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” or “Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Shri Lakshmi-Narayanaya Namah”.
• Always keep the Shaligram in a sanctified place, away from impure objects.

Through daily worship with devotion, one can tangibly experience the divine blessings of Lord Vishnu in every aspect of life.
