Worshipping Him in the form of Salagraamam is relatively easy when compared to worshipping him in the form of idols (Vigraha Aaraadhanam). Vigraha araadhanam requires a lot of Aagama principles to be meticulously followed which is quite a bit difficult for a nromal person. And doing Praayaschithams for idols in the case of non adherence to rituals are also elaborate. In Salagraama Aaradhanam, things are relatively simple. You have to observe the basic aacharam (madi) without fail. Using cow's milk during the Thirumanjanam is sufficient for praayaschitham for any non-adherence of aachaaram. You can perform Laghu Aaraadhanam in just about 20 minutes flat. And worshipping The Lord in Saalagraamam daily is a moving experience which no words can explain but must be experienced. You require fragrant flowers ( esp. jasmine), thulasi,sandal paste ( preferably paste made by rubbing sandalwood block with water and not the commercially available chemical added sandalwood rings), some sweet fruits, sugar candy ( kaRkaNdu) for this. >All I know so far is, Kandaki nadhi in Nepal is the main source for >Salagramam. > > > Yes .Salagraamam shoud not be a purchased item but you can get it from various sources.
