As you enter a temple or someone's pooja room, you feel positive energy — peaceful, powerful, and divine. Of the various holy items that infuse this energy around you, one of the most powerful and mysterious is the Shaligrama Stone.
The Shaligrama is not another idol or gem. It is a sacred fossil stone that occurs only in the Gandaki River of Nepal, and is considered to be a direct natural form of Lord Vishnu himself. It is not carved, painted, or molded by man — it is divine in its natural state. That is why it is considered so special.
Now, imagine that divine energy, already as pure as it gets, combined with the grace of Garuda, Mahalakshmi, and Surya Narayana — all incorporated into a single sacred form. That's what makes the Garuda Mahalakshmi Surya Narayana Shaligram Murti so special.
What Makes This Shaligrama Murti So Unique?
This Shaligrama Stone, which can be found at Giri.in, is about 4.23 kg in weight and a naturally occurring symbol for several divine forces combined.
Every bend and symbol on the Shaligrama is believed to signify certain cosmic energies. In this work, you can sense the presence of:
Lord Vishnu, the Preserver — the guardian of dharma and peace.
Goddess Mahalakshmi, who bestows prosperity and elegance into our lives.
Garuda, the powerful steed of Lord Vishnu, symbolizing power, vigor as well as triumph over evil.
Surya Narayana, the Sun God, symbol of light, health & wisdom.
Rousing all four gods in one holy Shaligrama is to summon their collective blessings — protection, success, power, and inner light — to your doorstep.
The Spiritual Significance of the Stone
The Shaligrama is said to emit strong positive energies. In ancient holy books, it is said that having a Shaligrama at home cleanses the environment and brings divine blessings. Many devotees say that once the Shaligrama enters their home they can sense a shift — the energy feels calmer, prayers feel deeper & the atmosphere becomes more peaceful, prayers become more profound & the environment becomes tranquil.
It is also believed that the Shaligrama doesn’t need any special setup like other idols as it is already divine by nature.
How to Worship a Shaligrama Murti
Worshipping the Garuda Mahalakshmi Surya Narayana Shaligram is easy but profoundly profound. You don't require intricate rituals — only pure faithfulness and dedication.
Below are a few easy steps the devotees normally take:
1. Clean the Murti – Gently cleanse with pure water and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use soap or chemicals.
2. Light a lamp – A tiny brass lamp or diya beside the murti fills the space with warmth as well as devotion.
3. Offer tulsi leaves and flowers – Lord Vishnu adores Tulsi, daily offering it fetches blessings.
4. Chant Vishnu mantras – Reciting Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya or Vishnu Sahasranamam gives divine vibrations in your environment.
5. Provide naivedyam (food) – A little piece of fruit or sweets is sufficient when offered lovingly.
6. Treat with respect – The Shaligrama must always be handled with reverence. Keep it clean, holy place, preferably facing east.
Repeating this easy pooja each morning can fill you with peace and purpose.
The Power of Divine Combination
Each of these deities in this Shaligrama Murti symbolizes something integral to a balanced and complete life:
We get protection and preservation of our dharmic path from Vishnu.
We get material as well as spiritual prosperity from Mahalakshmi.
We get vitality, health & illumination from Surya Narayana.
We get fearlessness & protection from negativity from Garuda.
Together, they form a circle of divine balance — helping you maintain harmony in relationships, wealth as well as spiritual growth.

Taking care of the Sacred Stone
