ek mukhi, shaligram, right hand shell>> your useful insight

[Guest guest]

The Valampuri Conch ( a real one ) is not a forbidden item in India. The total

55 species which are forbidden conch species are all decorative species. In

Tamil Nadu, the Valampuri Conch is regularly sold in shops. However, being a

rare item a waiting list is also maintained by these shops. Rich people book

their conch in advance. Rich people also offer Valampuri Conch to famous

temples openly. TheValampuri Conch is not listed in the concerned act. The

information is confirmed from the Tamil Nadu Govt.

 

Last year on 7th October 2004 on the occassion of the 'Golden Jubillee

Ceremony' of Shri. Sai Baba Idol, a beautiful Valampuri Conc was offered to

Shri. Sai Baba Temple in the Shirdi by a Chennai based Advocate Mr.C.T.

Thyagarajan for the purpose of 'Laghu Rudrabhishek'. There was a big news in

local news paper regarding this.

Dear Aadi,

 

Sriman Chandrashekhar is correct. Selling Shalagram and Lakshmi conch

are forbidden in that they should not be considered from a LIMITED

MATERIAL value. While Shalagram should not be made a business of, still

some good people make them available by donation. And Valampuri, being

Lakshmi and on level of Vishnu, is the same... BUT, unlike Shalagram

there is no shastric quote against sale of Valampuri.

 

On the contrary, these things must be made available, otherwise how

will they be aquired. Sri Chandrashekhar has an extremely beautiful and

Lakshmi Shank that is full size. The price, although a fair bit of

money, is still a bargin compared to other things. Plus

Chandrashekharji also has a blowing Valampuri. I'm looking forward to

seeing a photo he will send us as I've never seen one before.

 

There are bad people in every business, but only the good people are

able to distribute sacred objects like Valampuri and Shalagram with out

regret. In fact, the good people render a great service by providing

such Sacred Objects.

 

Best regards,

Richard
