The Stone of Vishnu

W e have all heard about the conical stone Lingam for Lord Shiva (well hopefully you have), but what about a stone for Shri Vishnu? Is there a stone that represents and symbolizes Narayana? Yes, yes there is!  The Shaligram Shila (Shaligram being one of the 108 names of Vishnu , and shila simply means stone ) is a dark rock that can be found lingering along the banks of the Gandaki river in Nepal. Its a holy fossil that has natural imprints of Vishnu's symbols, such as a conch shell or His loyal snake Anatana. Sometimes there are even forms of Narasimha and Varaha (the earlier Divine incarnations of Vishnu) on the shila. These divine black rocks are used to worship Vishnu but the best part is that they are natural and not handcrafted! And according to the puranas they are not only symbols of God, but rather manifestations of God Himself. The Lord resides in many places in which he may be worshipped, but of all the places Salagrama is the best - from the Garu...

What is the Religion of Bharat?

P. Deivamuthu, Editor, Hindu Voice (hinduvoicemumbai@gmail.com)   Every country has a religion. USA (whom we try to ape), UK, Australia, Canada, etc. (although Democratic and Secular), proudly say that they are Christian countries. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc. proudly say that they are Islamic countries, although there is no democracy and ‘secularism’. Even Sri Lanka proudly says it is a Buddhist country.   What is the Religion of Bharat? – Islam or Christianity? No. Can it be anything other than Hindu (Sanatan Hindu Dharm)?   If the culture of America is Christian and that of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan is Islam, the culture of India is Hindu. Any one trying to hide this Hindu identity is dishonest. Even hard core anti-Hindus like Brinda Karat, Medha Patkar, Teesta Setalvad, Mallika Sarabai, Arundathi Roy, Barkha Dutt, Ambika Soni, and many others, are testifying to this, showing up in saree with a big Bindi on their foreheads. They can hate Hindu religion bu...
