A Brahmin  who was standing below the tree on the bank of Tamraparni, it appears that this Brahmin was waiting for the arrival of Rayaru.As Rayaru came near to the tree, this Brahmin simply squatted and surrendered to the lotus feet of Rayaru. Simply fell on the feet . Rayaru asked him what do you require from me, what I have to do. The Brahmin said that he has committed greatest sins in his life under the circumstances prevailed and he has been dismissed by the society and not allowed to participate in any religious functions. Though he is living, living as Jeevanta Shava. So prayed to Rayaru to free from all the Bahishkaaras imposed on him by the society. Aparokshagnyani Karunaalu Rayaru completely knew the situation of the Brahmin. He has repented a lot for his follies and mistakes done by him. Rayaru took pity on Brahmin and decided to free from all the debars of the socio religious activities. Because Rayaru came to know that he has confessed and repented honestly.

Sri Raghavendrateertharu asked the Brahmin to meet tomorrow. Morning the Brahmin came and met Rayaru. Rayaru asked the Brahmin to shave his head, as all the sins committed by him are deposited on the tips of his hairs. Take a holy dip in Tamraparni and then come to me. Rayaru knew the ability of this Brahmin and decided to do the dharma by the Grace of Sri Hari. Repentance is the only means to purify our hearts. The first Sankalpa of our Gururayaru was to free from all the Bahishkaaras of the Brahmin when landed on Tirunellaveli situated on the bank of Tamraparni the sanctum of Sri Vibudhendrateertharu Brindavana.

After shave and bath the Brahmin came to Rayaru. At that time Rayaru was performing the pooja of Sri MoolaRamadevaru.Rayaru looked at him and asked him to sit. Holding the Shankha in his hand Rayaru did prokshana to his whole body with Shankhodaka chanting the Mantras prayed Sri Hari to free the poor Brahmin from all the sins. After prokshana Rayaru said now you are free from all the sins the Bahishkaara of the Mutt and the society have been cancelled. You have to mix and mingle in society and participate in all the religious activities. Today you be here see the pooja and take food in the Mutt along with him.

The gathered pandits and the orthodox, hard core Brahmins objected for this. Simply by the prokshana of Shankhodaka how it is possible to remove his sins, as he has committed great blunders in his life. Rayaru said the Brahmin has repented a lot and the shankha of Sri Hari has got the divine power. So  prokshana of Shankhodaka is done. So he is pure now.

The orthodox pandits asked Rayaru to prove this. Rayaru agreed and said ok. Rayaru asked a shishya of the Mutt to take a white cloth and dip completely in the Gerenne(black oil - something like indelible ink),The cloth became black and black Rayaru showed this to all. Rayaru holding the Shankha did the prokshana shankhodaka the cloth became white completely white by the prokshana of Shankhodaka by Rayaru. All surprised and bowed to Sri Rayaru for the divine power and Mahima. That day all were convinced that the Brahmin is liberated from all the sins. Requested Rayaru to excuse them as they compelled to prove that how he had become pure just by prokshana of Shankhodaka.

Heera Shankh

http://www.occulttreasures.com/heera_shankh.html

World Religions

The spiral form of the conch-shell is symbolic of infinite space that gradually expands in a clock-wise direction. The conch is symbolic of the Human Journey Through Life, Birth, Life, Resurrection, Love, Good Luck. The shell's hard casing protects life. The pearly lustre and its aquatic nature is attributed to qualities of virgin purity. Symbolic with music, the conch shell's spiral form and the sound of the ocean represents the beginning of existence.

The blowing of the conch purifies the environment from all evil. The sounds from the conch increase positive attributes in the atmosphere such as courage, hope, determination, will-power and optimism. The blowing of the conch is a call to awaken one from ignorance and announce victory of good over evil. The sonorous sound of conch shell honors and salutes the Lord of Creation. It was the primordial sound of creation and the divine sound "Om". Devotees blow the Shankh before the supreme God with sentiments of welcoming Him in their hearts and as a symbol of His divine grace, especially at the beginning of worship of the deity. The blowing of the shell during any auspicious occasion, is said also to bring good luck and prosperity. The conch is blown once or several times before ritualistic worship. It is sometimes blown whilst performing 'aartis'. The conch, placed at the altar in temples and homes next to the Lord symbolizes the primordial sound or the 'naada brahma' (truth), the vedas, Om, dharma, victory and auspiciousness. The conch is often used to serve the 'tirth' (sanctified water) to raise their minds to the highest truth. During, weddings the conch is blown loudly to drive away evil spirits.

In Buddhism, blowing of the conch signifies victory over suffering. In Chinese Buddhism, the conch shell signifies a prosperous journey, and

In Islam it represents the hearing of the divine word.

In Christianity the scallop shell was the emblem of St. James, the patron of pilgrims, so the shell came to symbolize a pilgrimage. The scallop shell is also associated with the guardian angel Raphael, and the Virgin Mary. In later Christianity, it symbolized resurrection and baptism. Quetzalcoatl created life with the aid of a conch shell and he is always pictured wearing a conch pectoral. Triton the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite, in ancient Greece is depicted with a trumpet made from a conch which he used to raise or calm storms.

Kauri Shankha

Kauri Shankha is a very rare shankha which when kept in your house can bring all luck and prosperity.It is said since ancient times that the possession of Kauris is considered to bring wealth and all round prosperity. That is the reason why it was a part of the marriage attire of the brides.

Kauri is a rare sacred product found in the ocean. "Kauri" was obtained from "Samudra Manthan" along with "Lakshmi" and other rare divine and holy products.

From a very ancient time "Kauri" was used as the currency and then was used in the ornaments and also used as the key of gambling. As per Shastras, "Kauri" is said to be the loving product of "Maha Lakshmi". It is also related to Lord Shiva because the hairs of Lord Shiva are similar to "Kauri". "Kauri" is used to decorate Nandi, the devotee of Lord Shiva. It is also said to be a great tool to save the children from devil effects.

Kauri Shankha is more powerful than kauris because it is a shankha plus a Kauri. This shankha is usually kept in the cash box for financial prosperity and to protect the owner from a financial debacles. Whoever keeps a "Kauri Shankha" during the prayer of "Goddess Lakshmi", gets blessings and gains success, prosperity, wealth and fame in life.
