Weight 75 gms

In the Brahma Purana Lord Narayana says, O Brahma, I eternally reside in the form of Shaligrama-shila.

Gautamiya Tantra states that by merely touching a shaligrama-shila one becomes freed from the sins of millions of births.

The Yajnadhvaja chapter of the Brihan-naradiya Purana states that wherever Maha Vishnu in the form of shaligrama shila remains, demons, and other such beings will be unable to cause any disturbance.

By worshiping Maha Vishnu in the form of shaligrama decorated with cakras, one constantly gains the merit of performing a thousand Rajasuya sacrifices Even sinful people with no qualification for performing pious activities will not see the abode of Yamaraja if they worship Maha Vishnu in the form of shaligrama. By adoring Maha Vishnu in the cakra of a shaligrama, one receives the same benefit as performing the agnihotra sacrifice and giving the whole world with all its oceans in charity. The lowest of men covered by lust, anger, and greed will attain the highest abode of the Supreme Lord Hari by worshiping shaligrama. One who adores the shaligrama shila will never fall from the heavenly planets up to the end of the universe.

Even without serving holy places, giving in charity, doing sacrifices, or studying the scriptures, a person who simply worship a shalagrama-shila will still achieve mukti. By worshiping shaligrama shila, even a sinful person becomes free from the fear of residence in the lowest hell and being reborn as an insect or animal. In Kali-yuga, if a devotee with a surrendered and loving mood offers a bath, flowers, lamps, food, prayers, and kirtana with sweet music for the transcendental pleasure of his shaligrama shila, he will eternally enjoy sublime spiritual happiness in the association of the Supreme Lord Hari. Merely by worshiping Maha Vishnu in the form of shaligrama shila, a person gets the same benefit as seeing or adoring thousands of shiva-lingas
