Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Namaste Viswa, In the Santana Dharma, conch shell is regarded as pure, pious and used in many religious rituals. That apart, there was a certain research done at Berlin University in 1928 about the sound of the conch shell. It was concluded in this research that the sound vibrations of the conch shell has the ability to destroy microorganisms that create "sound disturbances". The resonance produced by the conch destroyed bacteria within the range of 200 feet and tiny organisms from 2600 feet. It is also said that the conch eradicates bacteria that causes diarrhea and malaria, able to remedy leprosy and epilepsy amonst other ailments. About the Right Handed Conch Shell you are enquiring: ------------------- When its head faces the worshipper, the "open" part faces the right hand of the person. It is said that the conch was conceived at the time of the churning of the Ocean and Lord Vishnu held it in his right hand. Goddess Laxmi that took birth from the Ocean and Lord Vishnu married her, hence the close relationship of the conch with Laxmi. There is no differenece whether you blow into any conch of whatever size as the influence does not lessen. It is believed by some scholars, pandit, religious individuals, etc. that the Right Handed Conch Shell bestows prosperity and wealth; i.e. it can assist with financial progress (depends on one's karma how much or how little but always enough for one's needs) but it does not fulfill human passion. Method for Worshipping Right-Handed Conch: -------- After a bath on Thursday, take the conch and place on a plate. Wash conch with Panchamrit, place conch on red cloth and worship with sandal mixed with saffron, kapoor, flowers, rice, dhoop and ghee lamp. Use Japa mala and repeat 108 times: "Om Hreem Shreem Kleem Shreedhar Karasthaya Payonidhi Jataya Shree Dakshinavart Shankhaya Hreem Shreem Kleem Shree Karaaya Poojyaaya Namah" Feed a Brahmin boy and give him some money (Dakshina). Spread the red cloth over a silver pot and put conch shell on it. Worship conch shell daily with devotion like a Murti of a Deity. Use wooden pot if you don't have silver but place a small piece of silver next to the conch. Worhip together like Vishnu and Laxmi. The conch's open part must face upwards and its back should rest on the seat. The head of the conch should face the worshipper and the hind part towards the wall. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi Cindy, Nice to see you around again! Its been quite some time. Sorta missed you. Very much my pleasure to share (only if I know the answers There's the Left-Handed Conch Shell that is used in Puja too. Both right and left shells alleviates aggravating vibrations of "psychic noise pollution" that may intrude upon the nervous systems of stressed or vulnerable folks; i.e. depending on the level of sound or noise pollution/disturbance and an individual's resistance levels.

The conch shell information does interest me, I find it VERY fascinating... Do you have a link for more detailed info? I guess I can Google it myself...Do you use either (right or left) in your spiritual work? If so, would you care to say which you use? I wonder how one decides which is best to use: right or left?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Namaste syzenithji, Many thanks for the information you provided that was really great. sorry to disturb you again I have another question ,Just like rudraksha is there any precautions we should follow before worshiping the conch?.Should we refrain from taking non vegetarian food if we are worshiping the conch.WIll this cause any negative effects if anything goes wrong while worshipping the conch.
