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. > > (Source : Daily 'Sakal', Pune dated 7th October 2004) > > Chandrashekhar Phadke > > aadi291 <aadi291> wrote: > dear sir, thanks so much for your statement that shaligram and right > hand conch are forbiden to sell. then how do several website > actually sell these?? > i know this about shaligram. could you please quote the source or > scripture which forbids sale of right hand shell also. i am sure you > will. it will really help the quest for knowledge of people like me. > > yes, round ek mukhi is rare. in fact, i did not know anybody selling > it till you mentioned about agarwals. but when the kaju dana also is > as shivmaya why should one run after the gold dana..anyway. > > i come from traditional religious background and in the temples here > shivpuja is done with proper vidhi vidhan incl the laghu rudra and > maha rudra. > > i hope people who wear rudrakshas follow the rules about them and do > not simpsly wear and forget about it saying everything is ok with > bhola!! or shaivism has no rules, only vaishnavism has... > > shastras say that we should not differentiate between harihar. dwait. > warm regards > aadi > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > sacred-objects, "Richard Shaw Brown" > <rsbj66> wrote: > > Sri Aadi, > > > > I agree that is a very high price.
