Why the Little Conch?

 

The sound of a conch shell being blown is like no other; soft and rounded, but completely penetrating. It is a divya dhwani – a divine sound, that glorifies, protects, celebrates and purifies the consciousness of all who hear it.

As a writer, dancer, musician and artist, I always hope that the words, images and sounds I release into the world have this uplifting effect.

    Your father doesn’t have the time or interest in giving class to us online at http://www.vconline.biz

    Would you care to enlighten us at some point of time about Krishna consciousness?

    Hari Haribol !

      That is a rude and personal comment about this devotees parent. If you have an issue with her father have the backbone and dignity to confront him directly rather than in is this roundabout and infantile way.

    You are not painfully far…you are joyfully close !
    The smallest sound can be heard by all…
    and sometimes…the greatest words ever given to
    another come from total silence…

    You need only ask once…
    Know in your heart that you have been heard…
    and every prayer is answered…
    And that your work speaks loud and clear…

    You already have what it is that you seek…

    You are beautiful…you are blessed…
    you are loved…

  4. Nice explanation about the conch.

    In the first century there lived in TamilNadu a great poetess and devotee of Krishna, who asks the conch,

    Would it smell like camphor ?
    Would it smell like lotus?
    Would the red lips be sweet as honey?
    What is the taste of Krishna’s lips?
    Who has killed all diversities…
    With interest I ask you…
    Tell me White Conch…

    Her name is Andal.

    Your post reminded me of this poem.

    jaisitaram,
    just to realise that you would like
    to blow your conch to attain lord
    krishna’s feet in itself will raise to
    that level….after he is in our mind
    and should know our thoughts and
    realisations and desires…!!!

  9. charanagathi

    mistakes in my post
    “raise “you” to ”
    “after “all”"……
    sorry for the inconvinience

  10. Beautiful! I also always connected with the conch and love singing with it when the aroti is ending. I have similar aspirations. Very happy to hear this and find a “kindred spirit” :)

    Hare Krishna!
