By worshiping Lord Hari trough Vishnu Shalagram Puja within the shalagrama-shilas decorated with chakras, one constantly gains the merit of performing thousand Rajasuya sacrifices. If a brahmana who is correctly initiated and learned in prescribed mantras does the puja of shalagrama-shila, he will attain Lord Hari’s transcendental abode without a doubt.In Kali-yuga, if a lover with a surrendered and loving mood offers a shower , flowers, lamps, food, prayers, and kirtana with sweet music for the transcendental pleasure of his shalagrama-shila, he will eternally enjoy sublime spiritual happiness within the association of the Supreme Lord Hari.Wherever Lord Keshava dwells as shalagrama-shila, all the gods, demons, yaksas, and fourteen bhuvanas (worlds) also are present there. – the world within a radius of twenty-four miles from where a shalagrama-shila is worshiped is counted as a sanctum (tirtha). The fruits of japa, charity, sacrifices, or the other religious activities of that area are going to be multiplied many times.
Benefits of Vishnu Shalagram Puja:
Merely by worshiping one shalagrama-shila, an individual gets an equivalent benefit as seeing or adoring thousands of shiva-lingas.By worshiping Shri Krishna trough a shalagrama-shila, even a sinful person becomes free from the fear of residence within the lowest hell and reincarnation as an insect or animal.Worshiping shalagrama-shila is more satisfying to Lord Narayana than the worship of His Deity form along side Lakshmi within the temple.
