Saligrama Puja in 10 Minutes

This Puja in 10 minutes i have copied from an SMSO magazine. This was published in 1997.
Have your bath, Nama and Mudra and Sandya-vandana. That includes a 3 minute meditation on ten Gayatri Japa.Collect these things in the available time in the morning. Get a few Tulasi Dala and prepare Gandha for puja. These two are the minimumrequired for puja. Now, 10 minutes are enough for the Pooja.
Take out the Saligrama and Prathima. Place them in the plate and wash them with pure water. Then do Abhisheka, using Shanka and Ghanta, chanting Purusha-sookta.{ cassetes and CDs are available in case you dont know Purusha sookta}If even this is not possiblerepeat chanting of Gayathri aloud. Do Abhisheka thrice with Shanka. Wipe the Saligrama with clean devara vastra. Offer Gandha [wet ball] and do archana. If you dont know Namavali, repeat "OM NAMO NARAYANAYA".If there is no time for Dhoopa and Deepa Arathi, offer mantra akshitha instead. Do it with sincere Bakthi, mentally expressing your helplessness.
Offer something for Naividya.If nothing is available, in rare cases a cup of pure water is equally good.The Lord accepts it NOT as mere water, but as a cup of your bakthi in liquid form.[Bakthi Rasa]. Do mangala Arathi and
close the Puja box and place it in its place. Get up and pray for a minute with folded hands and offer Shashtanga namaskara. What is expected of you is only this or this little, and it should be done with Bhakthi says the lord.
If you have performed all the that was stipulated above, you puja is complete. This puja will take 10 mintues of your time and return will give you 12 hours of mental strength in all your out door/indoor activities till you go to bed. The day should begin with Saligrama Puja.When you do puja do it with a peacefull manner.

saligrama

The Source of Saligrama:--Saligramas are not man made.They are found in Gandaki River in Nepal. Salagrami in another name for the river. The river runs in mountaineous region. Hence the water level is not easily approachable as we have to get down in very deep vallyes to get to the river bed to collect the saligramas.therefore it is difficult to get genuine salgramas.One has to buy it from ginuine people and one who knows about Saligrams have to be consulted to find out if it is ginuine.On Saligrams Formations of Shanka and Chakras is the unique speciality. These marks can be found either on the inside the small or out side.
There are many kinds of Saligramas, with different names for each, like Sudharsahana, Rathna Gharba, Hyagrva,
Mathsya and so on.
The Lords Prathima and Saligrama are both are puja objects. A Prathima needs Prana Prathishta before we comence puja for the first time. For the saligrama there no such necessity, puja can be started right away.
There need be no fear to keep a Saligrama at home. It has to be kept in a Silver or Pithal box{called sampushta}, usually it used to be kept ina box covered by deer skin. Now it is dificult to puchse these due to Govt restristions. So tie the Saligrama box in a pure silk cloth and keep it in the gods room. Dont touch it without a bath, after food or at any time of the day. Do puja immediatly after a bath wearing clean clothes.ONLY MEN ARE ALLOWED TO TOUCH AND WORSHIP A SALIGRAMA.
