Story of Heera Shankh

-------------------

 

There is a story that exists behind Heera Shankhs. Thousands of years back an

old poor lady used named Heera-ujawala used to stay in a village at North East

India, earlier there were River Ganges used to flow. She was an ardent devotee

of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi. Once there was an epidemic that spread in her

village and the villagers were dying in high numbers.

 

Her two sons and their wives too came in the grip of that epidemic and caught

the disease. To save the lives of her sons, daughters in law and the rest of the

inmates of the village and bring the prosperity again in the village She was

told in her dream to do fasting and worship of Laxmi Narayan.

 

Since she was an ardent devotee and was doing very severe penance to please Lord

Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi, Lord Vishnu appeared and promised her that very soon

the village will be free from all epidemic and all affected village inmates will

soon be blessed with good health. But to bring prosperity she was advised to

worship Dakshinavarty Laxmi Shankh as Goddess Laxmi can be pleased easily with

the worship of Dakshinavarty Shankh. With the blessing of Lord Vishnu very soon

the village was free from diseases.

 

Heeraujawala continued her penance to please Goddess Laxmi. While she was

performing the penance, it is said that very heavy rains started and the water

from the ocean started overflowing and one strong wave of ocean unlit the 'Agni

Jwala'(the fire which was lit to undertake the yajna) and destroyed the complete

place and taken away all 'Ahutis' and donations like fruits, utensils etc. along

with the wave itself to the ocean. This made the Heera-ujawala very sad and in

the rage of anger she cursed that the place used immediately be relieved of

ocean and become plain.

 

That place has number of water species especially there was a high concentration

of Dakshinavarti Shankhs and suddenly when the water receded, these species

remained there and could not go back to the ocean.

 

Since the species was endangered, Lord Varuna (the God of ocean) pleaded Goddess

Laxmi to save the species. Goddess Laxmi immediately appeared where the

Heera-ujawala was performing the penence and requested her to take the curse

back. Heera-ujwala told Laxmi that now her Shankh has become stone how can she

continue her penance. Goddess Laxmi promised the lady that hence forth all the

worshipper of Dakshinavarti Shankhs will be blessed with immense fortune but

they will be now available in very less number since most of them have changed

into stones Shankhs. Goddess Laxmi further given a boon that all the stone

Shankhs will be glittering with gems and precious stones. All the Shankhs which

had turned into stones were named as Heera Shankhs.

 

The worship of Heera Shankhs will be blessed immense fortune and luck if the

japa of the Goddess Laxmi mantra will be done using the sphatik mala. The Heera

Shankhs will be most beautiful Shankhs that can happen by virtue of presence of

diffent coloured gems and precious stones and can take the devotee to the Laxmi

Siddhi. It is highly recommended to keep Heera Shankhs in the puja room or

Altar.

 

Heera Shankha is also called Pahadi Shankha (conch from mountains). It used in

worship of Goddess Lakshmi, especially by the tantriks. It opens like the

Dakshinavarti. It is found in the mountains and has sparkling crystal like

substance in the opening and sometimes on the shell also. Its dull from outer

crust but Its inner portion shines like diamonds.Being rare,its very costly.

Worship of this Shankh attracts prosperity and abundance.

 

There is one more ancient Tibetan text available which states that Guru

Matsyendranath was as famous as Gorakhnath in the field of Tantra. It is said

that when it comes to the highest level of Sadhanas Guru Matsyendranath was even

more accomplished than Guru Gorakhnath. He had accomplished a very secret

Sadhana related to Goddess Lakshmi using Heera Shankh.
