In Sanatan Dharma, the shankh, or conch shell, is considered extremely sacred. It represents purity, good fortune, and divinity and is more than just a seashell. The shankh is used in many Hindu rituals, rites, and prayers, making it an essential component of the religion's and society's religious fabric. Let us check out the 7 lesser-known benefits of blowing Shankh in Hinduism.
Lesser-Known Benefits Of Blowing Shankh
1. The ancient sound of "Om" is produced when the conch is blown with deliberate breath. The source of all Vedas is this eternal sound. As a result, the surroundings become protected by Chaitanya, or divine consciousness.

2. The act of blowing a shankh attracts activated energy from the universe to the site of worship, which is advantageous to both the blower and everyone else who hears it.
3. An individual's spiritual practice (sadhana) can flourish in a sacred and pure atmosphere created by blowing shankh.
4. Negative thoughts are prevented from entering the mind by blowing the shankh.
5. Positive vibrations like as courage, resolve, optimism, and willpower are enhanced when a conch shell is blown.
6. By blowing the shankh, the disturbing Rajas and Tamas frequencies are eliminated, drawing only the pure, holy Sattva frequencies that are already present in the atmosphere. The blower's Sushumna Nadi is turned on, preserving the ideal ratio of Agni and Vayu components.
7. Modern science claims that blowing conch shells on a daily basis opens cardiac blockages. It also strengthens the respiratory system and other throat issues since it is an exercise for healthy lungs.
