Dear Swamin:
It depends upon where you are located and where and how you propose to go.
If in USA, it is risky for security reasons to take any metallic Vigrahams and
more particularly any Salagramams. The Security personnel manning the Airports,
Seaports and Railway stations do not know the significance and importance of
these and they may reject them or worse, throw them away, leaving you in utter
misery!
This has happened to me once before, even when it was packed in check in
baggage. I had to explain the religious significance to convince them to let me
take them. From then on, I do not carry any Vigrahams and especially
Salagramams.
You may leave the Vigrahams in the Pooja room of your home. You may hand over
the Salagramams to any trusted friend who agrees to do the Tiruvaradanam on
your behalf and in your absence.
If you cannot locate one, you may place the Salagramams in a bag of raw rice
instructing people not to meddle with it - if you expect to be away for a
considerable length of time.
Hope this helps

Respected Sir
Namaskaram...With the grace of aacharyas and the divya dampathadhis I'm
doing vigrha aaradhanam daily at my home and i'm doing the same for the
past 15years. During that period i've not taken the perumal anywhere
outside my house.
Now I'm going to my daughter's place for about a month and I'm planning
to take all the perumal including all the shalagramams...Can I do the
same.. or should i leave all the perumal at home and take only one
shalagramam with me...I'm really confused.
Please advise
thanking you
Sincerely
Murali
