Dear Bhaghavatas:
I am posting the four articles on Saligramam one by one.
This was posted initially in Oppliappan groups.

Shri:

Shriimathe gopaala desika mahaadesikaaya nama:

Saalagraamodhbhavaha deva: ya:

ya: deva: dwaarakodhbhava:

ubhayo: sangamo yetra mukti:

tatra na samshaya: 

Saalagraama shila yetra yetra dwaaravathii shila

mruthae vishnupuram yaathi 

kruthaartham yojanathrayam

dwaaravathyath bhavam chakram shilaavai gandakii bhava

pumsaam kshanaath haranthyeva paapam janma shathaarjitham

Mokha is assured for one who performs aaradhanam to the Lord who resides as
rishna in the dwaaraka shila and Naaraayana who resides in the
saaligraamam,together (at the same place and same time). Those who breathe
their last in a resdence where dwaaraka shila and saaligrama are present,
will be assured a plae in Sri Vaikuntam. Moreover, those who reside within a
radius of three yojanasfrom the residence of the saaligraama will be assured
of these benefits. The shilaas found in the dwaaravathi river and the chakra
marked shilaas of the Gandaki river, can destroy the sins gathered by a
person across a hundred births.

Balaraama and Krishna created the Dwaarakaa city where the dwaaravathii
river meets the ocean; at this junction the dwaaravathii shilaa can be obtained.

Saaligramae harae: murthi: jagannaatha: cha dwaarakam 

kale: dasha sahasraantey yayou tyakthvaa hare: padam

Narayana sannidhyam in the saaligraamam and Lord janardhana's sannidhyam in
the dwaaraka shila is only for a specific period of time - viz. for ten
thousand years in kali yuga only. Currently, with vikrama year, 5101 years
have lapsed, 4899 years of saannidhyam is left. This is said in the
Bramhavaivrutam.

Only, Saaligram aaradhanam is very amenable for us. Since, we are not sure
if we would get another birth as a human, it is wise to make the best use of
this birth and perform saaligrama aaradhanam 

sakruth archita: vishnu: saaligraama shilaa sthithha:

dadaathi viphulaam muktim sarva sanga vivarjithaam

saalagraama shila chakram payodadhi kruthaadhikai:

ya: snaapayathi nunam sa: kalpakhoham vayeth divi

drushta pranamathaayen snaapitha pujitha thathhaa 

sa dhanya: purusho lokae saphalam tasya jivitham 

snaanae chaachamanae chaiva bhojanadhou dhanaathava

dhanathava bhojanaanthae cha saaligraama jalam pibheth

By praying to saligramam even once, bad company is destroyed. Thirumanjanam
or abhishekam with milk, curds and ghee is very special. By seeing the
saaligramaa or by performing namaskaaram to the saaligramam or by performing
thirumanjanam , ones life becomes fruitful. The theertam of thirumanjanam
when partaken during bath, during aachamanam, during food and at the end of
meals would give rise to goodness. Hence, we pray to Lord Naarayana that
more and more adopt this way( of saaligraama aaradhanam) .

Narayana narayana narayana

of Prakrutam Aandavan of Poundarikapuram Ashramam, SriRangam
