Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Namaste Karuji, If you feel a strong calling to use the Left-hand conch shell in your possession, by all means follow your instincts. It is probably the Inner Guru, Ishwara or your Ishta Devata guiding you, though sometimes when we experience this sort of thing, we don't necessarily know or "recognise" the signs consciously. Hope this helps. Om Namah Shivaya Sy , "Karu" <heen@n...> wrote: > Dear List, > From long time back, I kept a left handed conch. It was not for worship, but just sitting in my room.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 True conchs have a feature called a stromboid notch towards the tail. Whelks do not. Some shells that are normally right-handed such as the whelk have the unusual variation of being left handed and so are prized by collectors. The same is true for conchs that are normally left-handed, a few a sprites, i.e. variants and are right-handed.
