shivaji Posted July 14, 2002 Report Share Posted July 14, 2002 http://www.hindunet.org BHUBANESWAR,JULY 13: On the eve of the world-famous Rath Yatra at Puri, an astounding theory has come to light, thanks to a report published by Jai Jagannath Prachar Samiti. Lord Krishna's famous 'Panchajanya' conch, which he had used at the Mahabharat war, is believed to be at the Jagannath temple in Puri, The conch, like Krishna's conch, gives out rhythmic utterances of holy hymns when held close to the ears! A sadhu who had come to Puri from Rameswar in 1983 had given this mysterious conch to a young boy of the temple treasurer's family and later, it was kept in the treasury. p>It's existence was known only to a few servitors of Lord Jagannath. Last month, a scientist from Kurukshetra University tried to find the cause of the rare phenomenon of holy hymns sounding from the conch. It was suspected that a micro chip could be inside. But even after peeling off the sandalwood paste, nothing was found inside and the sounds of the hymns continued. The conch has another unique feature: It faces the right, unlike common conchshells that face left. --------- Anyone got anymore info on this??

Avinash Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Didn't Krsna take his conch shell with Him when He left the Earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauracandra Posted June 5, 2003 Report Share Posted June 5, 2003 The Conch is I think one of the best parts of deity worship. If you think about it, its pretty odd yet beautiful when it is blown. I like it best when it is a calm, constant sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
