Dear Sir,

 

One thing I know about it is that, It is good to look at.

Unfortunately, (Or fortunately) It does not carry any references in

Puranas. No mentions are made in Tantra Mahodadhi and Dattatrey

Tantram, the two most important books on Tantra.

 

As such I feel that it has nothing to do with Shastras or real powers.

It is been sold by street Vendors, during " Shravana " month. Yesterday,

I saw a piece with a bargain price of 250 Rs.

 

So, It is a big world out there, do trust your " ishtha " inside you.

Everything else is Maya.

was was the 'Guru' of demons. He was a Mayavi.

dear friend

 

firstly all hira shankh are righthanded or dakshinavruti. ancient

scritpures have various references where they classified shankhs

broadly into two viz. right handed and left handed and mentioned that

right handed are sacred and holy. here the sizes, shapes, ridges and

other micro level details are not narrated. hence one can conclude

safely that all right handed shankh are holy and sacred.

 

as regards hira or diamond shankh, it does not find mention in the

scriptures but is worshipped for the merit of the entire inner wall

of diamonds or diamond like shining other fossilised crystal or

whatever geophysical name it carries technically. this is akin to

some rare shaligrams which contain gold deposits inside. the

quantity of yellow metal inside the lakshmi shaligram varies and the

traces of gold itself inside is considered holy and sacred.

 

the diamond or gold deposits inside the shankh or shaligram are

reverred due to their rarity and for the belief of auspiciousness.

there are no references of diamond and gold deposits in shankh and

shaligram respectively in ancient scriptures and hence it is

worshipped or collected purely on faith and belief.

 

as regards pricing, same product has different qualities and the

prices are never comparable. for example ordinary (medium to large

size) five mukhi rudraksha mala of 108+1 beads in wholesale costs

just rupees twenty which means each rudraksha is less than twenty

paise if you calculate in price terms. many wholesellers offer five

mukhi rudraksha freely to their retailers on purchase of other costly

rudrakshas. on the contrary a large sized collector grade five mukhi

rudraksha costs minimum rupees three hundred each and even goes

upwards.

 

hence pricing is mentioned only if a native asks for it and natives

shall not jump to conclusions on hearing one price at one place.

 

with best wishes and blessings
