Do not Buy or Sell Shaligrama
शालग्रामशिलायां यो मूल्यमुद्घाटयेन्नरः ।
विक्रेता चानुमन्ता च यः परीक्षामुदीरयेत् ॥
सर्व्वे ते नरकं यान्ति यावदाहूतसंप्लवम् ।
अतः संवर्जयेद्विप्र चक्रस्य क्रयविक्रयम् ॥
Says Skanda Purana.
He who puts a price to Shaligrama, its examiner, seller or facilitator, all such people go to hell and stay there till pralaya.
Do not buy or sell the sacred Shaligrama.
Shaligrama should be obtained through rightful and respectful means, not through buying or selling. Here are the proper ways:
- Gifted by a Devotee: Receiving it as a gift from a genuine devotee or Guru.
- Found in Nature: Collecting it respectfully from sacred rivers, like Gandaki in Nepal, where Shaligrama is naturally found.
- Inherited: Receiving it as a family heirloom or from a Guru.
