Is the real secret of Shaligram ?

Is the real secret of Shaligram ?

There are crores of stones on the earth. But there is a stone before which even the great gods bow down. This is the story of a sacred river in whose waters a black stone floating becomes the form of Narayana himself. This is the story of the curse that turned Lord Vishnu into stone. This is the story of that mysterious insect about which even science has not been able to fully explain till date how it creates the wheel of God on a stone as hard as diamond and this is the story of a butcher whose shop’s stone one day became the home of Lord Vishnu himself. Yes friends, we are talking about Shaligram. But the question is whether in truth any stone can become God without any worship method, without Pran Pratishtha and what is the secret of that Vajra insect which no one has seen till date and the biggest question is that when a Pandit recognized that stone kept in a butcher’s shop then what happened that night which changed everyone’s thinking, when I will answer these questions then you will also be shocked. So friends, in today’s documentary we will know the complete story of Shaligram from the river Gand to the temple in every house, from curse to blessing and from a butcher’s shop to the dream that changed the entire thinking of a Pandit. So friends, welcome to Anant Gatha channel, subscribe now and watch the video till the end. There are crores of temples in the world. There are crores of statues. Pran pratishtha is done on every idol. Mantras are recited. There is a method. Only then does that idol become worthy of worship. But there is one form of God on which no mantra is recited. There is no Prana Pratishtha, there is no method. Just pick it up and start worshipping. Why? Because it is already alive. That form is found in the Gandaki River. The river flowing in Mustang district of Nepal which has been called Chakravarti River in the Puranas. On the banks of that river there is a place called Muktinath where every year lakhs of devotees go and look for God in the stones of that river. But how are these stones obtained? The strong current of the river, those rocks which have been eroding in that current for thousands of years and from that eroding, those black round smooth stones emerge which are called Shaligram, but these stones are not just black and round, there is a mark on them, a circle, a spiral which is made on its own, not by any human hand, it is made by nature itself and that spiral is the same which is present in the Sudarshan Chakra of Lord Vishnu. Friends, science says this stone is an ammonite fossil. Millions of years ago, when the Himalayan region was under the sea, there lived a creature with a spiral shell. He died and turned into stone. But the question is that the same spiral is present in Vishnu’s Chakra also. The same Fibonacci sequence is in the sunflower, in the seashell, in the galaxy. Is this just a coincidence? Science has no answer. There are millions of rivers all over the world. But Shaligram is found only in Gandaki. Puranas say that Lord Vishnu himself chose this place and now let’s talk about that story, that curse, that woman and that moment when Vishnu himself had to keep his promise. A question: Can a human being curse God? You will say no. God is omnipotent. No one can curse them. But friends, there came a moment in history when a woman, an ordinary woman, cursed Lord Vishnu and the Lord accepted that curse silently. Why? This is the secret which is the real story of Shaligram. That woman was Vrinda. An ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu whose devotion was so deep that his name was known in all the three worlds. Vrinda was married to Jalandhar. Jalandhar That demon king who was invincible, whom no one could defeat, in front of whom even the gods trembled, but Jalandhar’s power was not in his sword, it was not in his army, his power was in Vrinda’s chastity, as long as Vrinda’s chastity was intact, no one could defeat Jalandhar, the gods prayed to Lord Vishnu, Lord, Jalandhar’s atrocities are increasing, all the three worlds are crying for help. But as long as Vrinda’s chastity is intact, Jalandhar will not die. Lord Vishnu heard this and did what he probably shouldn’t have done. He assumed the form of Jalandhar and went to Vrinda. Vrinda did not know and at that very moment Jalandhar died. His power was broken. The gods defeated him. But when Vrinda came to know the truth, she was devastated. She looked into the eyes of Lord Vishnu and said, you cheated me, you broke my chastity, you are called God but you did what even an Asur does not do, silence fell over the entire universe and Vrinda cursed, go Vishnu, you become a stone, just like your heart was made of stone, your body should also become a stone, friends, if Lord Vishnu wanted, he could have stopped that curse but he did not stop it because Vrinda was not wrong and the curse of the one who speaks the truth also comes true. Lord Vishnu turned into stone. The same stone which is found in the Gandaki River today. The story on Shaligram does not end here. Vrinda gave up her body after cursing and a plant grew at the same place. Tulsi Lord Vishnu said Vrinda you cursed me but your devotion was unwavering. Your love was true, hence from today you will stay with me in the form of Tulsi and as long as this universe exists, Shaligram and Tulsi will remain together and that is why Tulsi is offered in the worship of Shaligram. They get married on Devothani Ekadashi. In memory of that love where God accepted the curse. Vrinda had also asked for a boon. Whoever worships with a true heart, no matter who he is , no matter what his profession, no matter how much society looks down on him, you should come to him yourself. God granted that boon. Now the story of Sadna the butcher is a very old story. There lived a butcher named Sadna in a village. By profession he was a meat seller. But by nature he was a very honest and innocent person. His greatest speciality was that he always had the name of Lord Vishnu on his lips. Even while cutting meat, weighing it on the scale and talking to customers, he always had the same tune on his lips. Bhajaman Narayan Narayan Hari Hari Shriman Narayan Narayan Hari Hari. Brother, please give me two kilos of meat. I will give it to you right now brother. Jai Shri Hari. The people of the village talk among themselves. I have never seen such a butcher anywhere. Sells meat and chants the name of God. Hey, I’ve been watching this for years. The name of Lord Vishnu is always on its face. This was the identity of Sadna. One day Sadna was going somewhere lost in his thoughts when suddenly a stone hit his foot. He stopped. Oho! Where did this round black stone come from? It looks very beautiful to look at. I will pick up the cow and keep it. It will be useful for weighing meat. The next day at the shop he placed the stone on the scale. Brother, give me 1 kg of meat. He placed the stone in one pan and exactly 1 kg of meat came in the other pan. Oh wow, give me 2 kilos. Sadna kept the same stone. And this time it became 28 kg. Sadna was surprised. He also tried 5 kg. The stone became 5 kg. This is not an ordinary stone. It weighs as much as it needs to be weighed. This is some magical stone. Gradually this news spread throughout the village. People started coming to Sadna’s shop from far and wide. The crowds grew, the sales grew. Sadna thought in his mind that perhaps some magician’s stone might have fallen on the way and I found it. Whatever happens, Jai Shri Hari is huge. Jai Shri Hari. This news also reached the village Pandit. However, he did not like to go to places where meat was sold. But when a devotee described the miraculous stone, curiosity arose in his mind. Pandit ji, really that Sadna butcher has a wonderful stone which changes its weight on its own. Come and see it once. Okay, I will watch from a distance. I will not pass. Let us go. Pandit ji along with the devotee reached Sadna’s shop and stood at a distance and started watching. He saw that every time the same stone was weighing differently, it was giving the exact weight. Panditji looked at that stone carefully and suddenly his hair stood on end. I have to meet this butcher. Pandit ji, please come here and sit. How can I serve you? Sadna, I have come to see that stone Gandhi or you can say that that stone itself pulled me here. Sadna, Aryans, what you are weighing meat on thinking it to be an ordinary stone is Shaligram ji. It is a great sin to weigh meat on this sacred rock, which is the living embodiment of Lord Vishnu. Sadna’s face turned pale. His eyes filled with tears. O Lord, O Shri Hari, please forgive me. I could not recognize this form of yours. Then he folded his hands and said, Pandit ji, you are a Brahmin. Who can worship this Shaligram ji better than you ? Please take these with you. Pandit ji happily accepted Shaligram ji and brought it home. After coming home, Pandit ji started the puja with full rituals. Only a few days had passed when one night Lord Vishnu himself appeared in his dream. Brahmin, I am pleased with your service but take me to that butcher. O Lord, did I make any mistake in my worship? No. I like your worship. But those devotees who constantly chant my name, O tiger, my mind is drawn towards them. Sadna does not know any puja or rituals. But every moment, while getting up, sitting, working, he keeps humming my name. This is true devotion. I surrender to the one who remembers me with selfless love. Sadna is very dear to me. As you command, Lord. The next day Pandit ji went to Sadna and told him everything. Sadna you are great. Lord Vishnu himself has expressed his desire to stay with you. This Shaligram stone will now remain with you only. Sadna was stunned. Tears flowed from his eyes. It is true Pandit ji, Lord Shri Hari wants to live with a butcher like me. Heavy on this shop where I used to sell meat. If the Lord is pleased with my kirtan then I will close this shop now. Now I will only worship him. This will be my life. Panditji handed over Shaligramji to Sadna. From that day onwards Sadana left the job of selling meat forever and dedicated his life to the chanting of the name of Lord Vishnu. Later on, Sadana Kasai came to be counted among the greatest devotees of Lord Vishnu and his fame spread in all four directions. Friends, science says this is a fossil. Faith, a billion-year-old creature, says. This is the form of God. Forever alive. Both are standing at their places. But both agree on one thing. This stone is not ordinary. Whether you call it a fossil or call it God. There is something in it that cannot be seen but can be felt, that cannot be measured but can be experienced. Friends, Shaligram does not come in just one form. The number of circles on them, their position, colour and shape of the stone determine which incarnation of Lord Vishnu they symbolize. The Shaligram with one wheel is called Vasudeva Shaligram. It is considered the most calm and simple form. Its mere presence in the house brings peace to the mind. The Shaligram with two chakras is Lakshmirayana Shaligram. The larger circle symbolizes Narayana and the smaller circle symbolizes Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that in the house where this is present, there is never any shortage of wealth. Narasimha Shaligram This is the most intense and powerful form. Its identity is sharp claw-like marks on a deep black color. It symbolizes the same horrific moment when Lord Vishnu took the form of Narasimha and killed Hiranyakashipu. Similarly, the fish-shaped Matsya avatar, the round and smooth avatar and the one with one end raised are considered symbols of Varaha avatar. That means, in every Shaligram there is a glimpse of some incarnation of Vishnu hidden. The rarest of all is the Shaligram in which the Chakra, the Gadha and the Shankha are clearly visible together. It is considered almost impossible to find such a thing. Friends, today we travelled from the Gandaki river where a creature lived millions of years ago, from Vrinda who cursed God and God silently accepted it, from the science which became silent while explaining and from Sadna the butcher whom God himself chose. You search for God in the temple but you cannot find him, you go to pilgrimages but you cannot find him, the pandit tells the mantras, tells the rituals but God is not found, but Sadna did nothing, neither did he go to the temple nor to pilgrimages, he just did one thing, he kept chanting the name, he had a sword in his hand but Narayan on his lips and God himself came to his shop, the boon that Vrinda had asked for, whoever remembers you with a true heart, no matter what his profession is, you should come to him yourself, he is alive even today and that boon was not only for Sadna, it is for you too.
