THE

SACRED LAKSHMI CONCH

 

(sinistral

turbinella pyrum)

RARE LAKSHMI

CONCH: Dakshin Shank: The Right-Spiralling Conch Shell

 

 

 

Conch Shells which spiral to the right are very rare and considered

especially

sacred. 

The Lakshmi Conch shell is a sacred manifestation of Supreme Goddess

Lakshmi,

and is most effectively used to bath a genuine Gandaki vajra-kita

Shalagram

Shila (ammonite from Gandaki River in Nepal having chakra cut by

Vajra-kita

worms 140 million years ago). The TOP picture showing a genuine Lakshmi

Conch with a genuine Shalagram Shila is one of a kind. VERY RARE PHOTO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Valampuri' Dakshin Conch & Normal Shank

 

 

Fact: The left side opening OR the right side opening Turbinella

Pyrum Indian Conch - with 3 to 7 ridges in the conch cavity, and

special

internal structure is the ONLY Shank that is Vedic. The normal

left-side

opening Conch is very low price, even less than the bogus ones

(Lightning

Whelk), and only the Indian Shank is correct for puja.

 

 

Genuine Valampuri Lakshmi Shank Turbinella Pyrum Conch shells sell

by the gram. Normal size is about 60-120 grams. Depending on quality

and number of ridges in the conch cavity they sell for between Rs.

3,000 up to Rs. 20,000 per gram. This means that a genuine Lakshmi

Shank can be had for thousands of dollars ONLY.  No one has any

excuse to use a non-conch shell. Everyone can use either a $2 normal

Shank OR a $20,000 Lakshmi Shank. BUT, USE A SHANK (conch), ONLY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genuine

Sri Lakshmi Conch (sinistral turbinella pyrum)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lightning

Whelk

(busycon contrarium) is NOT a Lakshmi Conch

 

 

 

 

WARNING!!!

--- Lightning Whelk: Many temples and puja dealers mistake a Lightning

Whelk as a Lakshmi Conch. They are totally wrong. There is ONLY one

true Lakshmi

Shank, viz., sinistral turbinella pyrum,

and the photos here are a darshan of the REAL thing....

 

 

 

It is far better to use a normal left-handed white smooth shank,

rather

than another type of shell, like a Whelk, that is not even

related to a Shank, and which is NOT recommended as pure. Only a Shank

is auspicious

for puja, what to speak of a shank that opens on the right side, viz.,

A Lakshmi Shank.
