    Namaskara Vasudha,

    AFAIK, you can continue worshipping the Shaligrama. Shaligramas do not get bhagna. If Shaligrama splits, then they are called Sudarshana.

    If Balamuri Shankha gets bhagna, then they must be put into the ocean.

    Regards, Hari

    Namaskara Sri Chiraan,

    I am a big zero in Palmistry. Could you kindly let me know what the significance of the solomon ring is?

    Regards, Hari

    Shri Hari ,
    Brahaspati mudrika indiactes a person who would involve in some social work, upasana, sadhana, sometimes it leads to higher realm of studies as well. for some it indicates a symapathetic personality, who would donate some time and resources for a cause like animal rights etc. when this gets broken it indiactes fall from moral values on certain occasion only. if heart line touches this line and pierces it , it indicates extreme troubles from women.
    if very close to finger man becomes impractical in his spiritual persuits.

    By the way let me put some corrections to shaligrama question, it is not advisable to worship bhagna(not bhanga) saligrama, It is better to donate such saligrama to mathas. vide varaha purana.

    Namaskara Sri Chiraan,

    Many thanks for that information. It was my father who was holding the Saligrama.

    Regarding Bhagna Saligrama, I consulted an expert in Udupi (who has studied under Sri Adamaru Swamiji and previous Sode Swamiji) and took his opinion before posting the comment. Thanks for your clarification. The route mentioned by you seems a safer option considering that it comes from a authoritative scripture.

    Regards, Hari

    Sri hari
    varaha purana says.” bhagna,dagdha,karal,vikral,rakthavarna, and one greater than size of palm should not be worshipped in the house. even hollow ones should not be worshiped,
    saligramas worshipped by devatas should also be not worshipped.
    smaller the size shreshtha is the saligram in revealing its effects.

      Namaskara Sri Jay,

      Thanks for your comments.

      The Lakshmi vigraha is very old and am not sure how it came home. Will check with my elders and let you know :-)

      Thanks again,
      Hari
