Shankhas and Vastushashtra

Lord Ganesha’s blessings are invoked, in all vedic rituals, before any important work is undertaken, be it the starting of a business, the building of a house or the writing of a book or even undertaking a journey. This worship (Ganesha Pujan) can be performed through an idol or by using Ganesha Shankha. From the view point of ’Feng Shui’ as well as shashtras this shell attracts business luck from overseas and augments the chances of travel abroad.

Ganesh shankha should be kept in the Puja-Ghar (place of worship) on all auspicious occasions and during religious festivals. It brings good luck and prosperity to the individual and the family. Some astrologers recommend that every house should have Ganesha shankha to gain prosperity and for protection against malefic effects of planets. It is believed that those who keep this shell in their lockers would never face any dearth of money. Ganesh shankha should be kept on red cloth in Puja-Ghar or wrapped in red cloth, if kept in a locker.

This shankha is one of the eight auspicious symbols found on the feet of Lord Buddha. It is extremely beneficial for those who are in the export business or those who have gone into foreign business ventures. Placing it in the South sector of the living room helps augment the owner’s fame and reputation. To enhance academic achievements the conch can be placed in the North East area; if placed in the South West it harmonizes relationships. 

Some rigorous sadhanas using moti shankha endow one with the power of hypnotizing others. However, practice of such sadhanas is risky and it is strictly enjoined that such powers should be used only for healing and helping and not at all for harming others.
