the ‘SHANKH‘ is dedicated to Lord ‘Vishnu’. ‘SHANKH‘ is highly praised in Hindu scriptures as a giver of FAME & PROSPERITY. The daily blowing of the ‘SHANKH‘ does save the person from the heart diseases.

As per our PURAN it is mentioned that by the command of Lord Vishnu the deities Moon, Sun and Varun are stationed at the base of the SHANKH, the deity Prajapati on its surface and all the places of pilgrimage like Ganga and Saraswati in its front portion. Yet another specialty of SHANKH is that the vibrations emanating on blowing it destroys the disease causing germs in the atmosphere.

BLOWING of SHANKH…

When the SHANKH is blown before the start of puja energy is emitted from the SHANKH. This energy reduces the strength of distressing frequencies. Besides a protective armor of CHAITANYA (divine consciousness) is formed around the articles of puja.

Another benefit is when the SHANKH is blown the activated energy of Lord Vishnu in the universe gets attracted towards the place of worship which is not only beneficial to the person who is blowing the SHANKH but also to all those who hear it…

Effect of ENERGY emitted from BLOWING the SHANKH…

As soon as the SHANKH is blown the frequencies of divine energy (shakti) are emitted into atmosphere due to sound generated. Along with these energy frequencies of CHAITANYA are also projected in the atmosphere. Thus the particles of Bliss being emitted in the atmosphere. This increases the proportion of shakti (energy), CHAITANYA & ANAND in the environment and that is why the negative energies get distressed and run away… .
