Lord Sriman Narayana resides in Salagramam (Nithyavaasam) always.
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.
