1. Salagrama Representing Lord Mahavishnu : The Salagrama is a sacred fossilized stone, typically found in the Gandaki River in Nepal. It is considered a representation of Lord Mahavishnu, the preserver and protector of the universe in Hindu mythology. The presence of Salagrama signifies the omnipresence and eternal nature of Lord Vishnu. Worshipping Salagrama is believed to bring peace, prosperity, and protection to the household.
2. Sonabadra Representing Lord Mahaganapathi : Sonabadra stones are rare and are considered to be the symbolic representation of Lord Mahaganapathi, also known as Ganesha, the remover of obstacles and the god of beginnings. Including Sonabadra in the Panchayathana Puja Set is a way to invoke the blessings of Lord Ganesha, ensuring the removal of hurdles and the successful commencement of new ventures.
3. Crystal Representing Lord Surya: A crystal or Spatika is used to represent Lord Surya, who is the source of energy and life. The crystal’s clarity and brilliance symbolize purity, enlightenment, and divine light. The crystal stands for the radiant energy of the Sun, which sustains life and fosters spiritual growth.
4. Swarna Mukhi Representing Goddess Devi: Swarna Mukhi, often a golden-hued stone or a symbolic representation, signifies Goddess Devi, the divine mother and embodiment of feminine energy. In the Panchayathana Puja Set, Swarna Mukhi represents the various forms of the Goddess, from Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, to Durga, the warrior goddess. This inclusion is a call for the divine feminine energy to bestow blessings of prosperity, protection, and spiritual strength.
5. Banalinga Representing Lord Shiva: The Banalinga is a naturally occurring stone, often found in the Narmada River, and is a representation of Lord Shiva, the destroyer and transformer in the Hindu trinity. In the Panchayathana Puja Set, the Banalinga symbolizes the infinite, formless nature of Shiva, embodying his role in the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. Worshipping the Banalinga is believed to bring spiritual enlightenment, strength, and liberation.
