Damodar Shaligram Shila

The Damodar Shaligram Shila is a sacred representation of Lord Krishna in his form as Damodar, symbolizing divine love, compassion, and the eternal bond between the devotee and the divine. The name "Damodar" refers to the episode where Lord Krishna, as a child, was tied with a rope around his waist (dama) to a mortar by his mother, Yashoda, showcasing his playful yet endearing nature.

This Shila features a smooth, rounded form with naturally curved ridges resembling a gentle binding around its surface, symbolizing the divine connection and surrender. The balanced contours radiate a sense of calmness and devotion, making it a perfect emblem of the loving bond between the Lord and his devotees.

Sourced from the holy Gandaki River in Nepal, the Damodar Shaligram Shila is revered for its ability to instil love, devotion, and harmony. Worshipping this sacred Shila is believed to remove negative influences, foster spiritual growth, and bring a sense of inner peace and divine grace.

Ideal for placement on a puja altar or sacred space, the Damodar Shaligram Shila elevates the spiritual vibrations of the environment. Daily prayers to this Shila deepen the devotee’s connection with Lord Krishna, ensuring blessings of love, protection, and spiritual fulfilment.
