Sri Bilwa Ashtothara Sathanamavali !!

Jai Sriman Narayana !!

Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!

I had the opportunity to listen one of the speeches of Kanchi Mahaswamigal about 'Whom do you worship on daily basis? And How?'  Mahaswamigal says one should worship Lord Shiva, Goddess Parvathi, Lord Vinayaka, Lord Vishnu and Lord Surya on daily basis.  Swamigal narrates the places of availability of  Bana Lingam, Salagramam (Nepal - Gandaki River) and the idols (not in gold) and the worship of the same with Bilwa  and Tulsi as 'Patram' and ' Annam' (cooked rice)  and dry fruits as Naivedhyam .  He sternly illustrates the procedure of worship of Lord and the processes are abishekam for the idols, decoration of the idols with Kumkum, sandal paste and Vibuti.  Most of the idols like Salagrama/Bana Linga are easy to carry wherever you go.  Maha Swamigal also gives us an useful tip to carry them on a 'Sambadam' ( Arey Dabba Yar/ Lunch box).
