Conch Shells and the Lighting of Jala Thala Yoga Jothi in the Oceans
Rather than thinking of conch shells as simple
marine life forms, think of them as life forms
that have JalaThalaYogaJothiShakti that
humans don't have!
With this special shakti, these spiritual entities (that are in the form of
conches) absorb jothi shakti from the planetary
and star mandalas and light sookshma
jala thala yoga jothis on
Bharani, Krittika nakshatra days and Pournami Full Moon days and involve other
marine life forms in their jyoti worship.

There is a very special form of Shiva known as Shanka Taranyar.
This form of Shiva is worshipped by all conch shell life forms and
the spiritual entities associated with them.

This involves worship of Shanka Taranya Shiva, Samudra Raja Deva and other ocean devata
angels, worship using Sangu Pushpam flowers (that are shaped like a conch)
and special Siddha mantras.

Here is an assortment of Siddha Solutions using conch shells given by Sathguru Venkataraman over the years in
his monthly magazine.
Conches are spiritual aids that promote bhakti and spirituality.
They are also spiritual solutions for removing many kinds of "doshas" (afflictions).
Placing vibhuti sacred ash and kumkuma
vermilion in conch shells blesses the house
with auspiciousness and gives longevity to the spouse.

Conches can give the blessing of truthfulness particularly to those in professions
where lying is common, such as lawyers and judges.

Conch shells can reduce NEGATIVE VIBRATIONS in their vicinity and give steadiness of mind.

Sathguru Venkataraman said that a conch shell is Omkara Naadha Karuvoolam - a treasure chest of the original Omkara sound of the beginningless beginning.
Thus blowing a conch shell even once can fill a place with Omkara Shakti - the power of OM, he said.
Blowing the conch shell is itself a good pranayama yoga practice, particularly if the special pranayama conch shell is used.
Regularly blowing the conch shell in worship can help one get rid of the urge to smoke.
The sound of OM can purify thoughts and it is this divine sound that fills a conch shell. Thus a conch shell helps purify one's thoughts, said Sathguru Venkataraman.
Conch shells must be sounded in earthquake prone places since the sound of conches is very dear to Mother Bhooma Devi (Mother Earth) who considers this sound as Bhookamba Shanti, i.e., pacifying earth tremors.
There are specific conch shells for specific worship procedures such as Vaastu conch shells, Shiva conch shells, Shakti conch shells and so on.
Conch shell worship is particularly dear to Lord Narayana who wields the conch shell.
12 different Abhishekams for Lord Narayana using 1008 conch shells and 12 different substances including cow's milk, honey, tender coconut water, sandalwood paste is a Siddha solution for resolving the anger and enmity in strained relations and establishing cordiality.
Abhishekam using 1008 conch shells in the Cholapuram Temple of Lord Shiva Kailasanathar and Mother SivaPoorani is a Siddha solution for reducing the mental worries that a mother has about her daughter's well being.
The worship of CONCH GANESH - Sangu Vinayaka - is a Siddha solution for lasting wealth: (1) Aishwarya (2) Sri Kubera wealth blessings (3) Mother Lakshmi's wealth blessings (4) Fulness in various sectors of life.
Chanting the Saptarishi sandalwood mantra given by Sathguru Venkataraman, do regular abhishekam to sandalwood sticks and the stone used for grinding sandalwood. This is a Siddha solution for breaking free from bad habits and addictions.
108 conch shell honey abhishekam for Lord Sarabeswara described in Section 14 of Part 3 of Sathguru Venkataraman's brilliant Siddha Revelations on Lord Saraba. This is a siddha solution for disease cures.
There are a lot more Siddha Solutions that we shall delve into later.
