Saligrama Puja

Saligrama Puja

This is a very Simple Puja explained

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]POOJAN VIDHI: Shaligram is worshipped like one worships Lord Vishnu. Normally tulsi is used essentially and also a counch shell (Shankh) is also kept near the Shaligram. Daily worship with purity of heart and body is required to get full benefits from Shaligram. (Ref.: Shrimaddevi Bhagwat).

To perform puja of the Shaligram which you have selected to install in your altar of worship, you will need the following 'samagri' or ingredients:

Ganga Jal, Panchgavya (a mixture of 5 auspicious articles that include: Cowdung, Cow's urine, Milk, Ghee and Curd), fresh Tulsi leaves, Kusha grass, Pipal leaves, Incense sticks, Camphor, Sandal paste, Lamp burner, and a conch shell. You may substitute any item that is not available with uncooked rice.

Offerings to the Shaligram can be of Milk, Fruits, Flowers, Sweet dishes or a Coconut.

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Procedure To Be Followed For The Puja:

1. Sit in a position in which you can face the East or North-East direction.

2. Wash the Shaligram with Ganga Jal poured from the conch shell. Then wash it again with punchgavya, and then wash it once more with Ganga Jal.

3. Place some kusha grass in a stainless steel glass filled with water to sprinkle over the Shaligram.

4. Now, put the Shaligram on some pipal leaves placed on a plate. Light the camphor, incense sticks and the lamp filled with ghee.

5. Apply some sandal paste on the Shaligram and place some fresh tulsi leaves in front of the Shila.

6. Light the lamp and move it in a circular, clockwise movement of the hand in front of the Shaligram.

7. Chant the mantra: "Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare" nine times.

8. Offer milk, fruits or sweets to the Shaligram. Offer some money and then give that money to a poor person.[/FONT]

my two bit...

Usualy Saligramam is part of the panchyuta devtatas and usually is handed over or comes down from ones lineage from grand parents, parents etc.

Second possibility is that a guru or elder or a friend has gifted the same.

Third possibility is that one has purchased saligramam oneself.

If as a parent/gurus order or instruction was to do nitya puja or when you bought it yourself then your own sankalpa was to do nitya puja then you have to do puja everyday.

In all other cases puja should be done as frequently as possible. Sunday, holidays, ekadasi, purnima days etc.

If you know purusha, narayana, vishnu suktams or vishnu sahsranamam recite them while you doing abhsihekam.

You can buy pooja vidanam book from giri trading.

Puja starts with suklamabharataram+pranayamam, sankalpalama, simple kalas pujai, sanka pujai and starts with Abshishekam of water, milk, curd, cocunut water, panchamritam, sandle wood powder etc and then throughly clean with water and then dry the idol.

Apply chandanam, kumkumam.

Do vishnu or krishnas archani with tulsi leaves.


Doopam, deepam, naivedyam (on special days payasam, sojji or sheera), kalpura arti, mantra puspam, shama prartana, namaskaram .

blessings when done atmaratam with complete surrender, faith and belief is immense.

best wishes
