How Conch Appeared in World

Lord Siva trident's name Vijaya was as bright as a hundred summer suns. 

1. The front of it was presided over by Lord Narayana, the middle by Lord Brahma, the root by Lord Siva and the edge by Time. 
2. It was bright like the fire of devastation at the end of the world--dauntless, irresistible, fixed and destructive in its aim. 
3. In brilliance it equaled the Sudarsana Chakra, and it was the topmost of all weapons. 
4. No one but Lord Visnu or Lord Siva could wield it, and all but them were afraid of it. 
5. The trident was 14,000 cubits long and 100 cubits wide. 
6. One could not tell from where and how it proceeded. 
7. By its own will, this trident could destroy all the worlds.

 Lord Siva raised the trident high, aimed and hurled it at Sankhacuda. Seeing it coming, the demon king dropped his bow and arrows, collected his mind, sat down in a yoga posture, and meditated on the lotus feet of Lord Krsna with great devotion. 

The trident whirled around Sankhacuda's head for a while. Then, at Lord Siva's command, it smashed into the demon's head and burned him and his chariot to ashes. Thereafter, the trident returned to Lord Siva, and then left for the airways at the speed of the mind, and finally returned with force and gladness to Lord Narayana.

In the heavens, the celestials beat their drums, the Gandharvas and Kinnaras sang, the sages and demigods chanted eulogies and all the damsels danced. Flowers continuously rained down upon Lord Siva, and Lord Visnu, Brahma, Indra and other notables praised him.

Out of compassion, Lord Shiva Durga tossed the demon's bones into the sea and these bones became transformed into all the conches in the world. 

They are always considered very holy and favorable in the worship of the demigods. The water in the conch is also considered very sacred and satisfying to the demigods--as sacred as the water in any holy river. Wherever the conch is blown, Laksmi dwells there with great delight. If one bathes with the conch water, this is equivalent to bathing in all the holy rivers. Wherever the the conch is placed, Lord Hari and Goddess Laksmi live there, and all inauspicious things disappear from that place.

Ksheerabdi Dwadasi Vratam and Shayana Vrata

Dharmaraja and his brothers lost their kingdom and went to reside in Dwaitavanam. At this time, the Sage Vyasa came to visit him. Dharmaraja cordially invited Vyasa, made him seat on a pedestal, spoke to him on various issues and then said as follows, “Swami! You know all Dharmas. There is no knowledge or wisdom that you donot know. Please tell me a way, by which all desires can be fulfilled”. To this Vyasa replied, “Son! This is a good question. Once upon a time Sage Narada posed the same question to Brahma deva, and the deva narrated him two desire fulfilling penances. Those are Ksheerabdi Dwadasi Vratam and Ksheerabdi Sayana Vrata.

Lord Shiva Quotes Sun and Moon to Explain Ever Changing Time

Lord Shiva to Sankhacuda (Tulsi's Husband)

Sun

"Consider the sun: in the summer its light is very intense; but not so in the winter. At noon, the sun is very hot; but not so in the morning and evening. In time, the sun rises; in time, it becomes powerful; and in time, it sets. By the working of time, it is obscured by clouds.

Moon

In the bright fortnight it waxes daily, but in the dark fortnight it wanes daily. In the bright fortnight, the moon looks healthy and rich but in the dark fortnight it looks decreasingly thinner, as if afflicted by consumption. Thus at one time the moon looks powerful and at another time it looks weak and pale.

Couple Discuss the Eternal Time

Couple => Tulsi and Her Husband Sankhacuda

"O my queen, when it is time to reap the results of one's past acts, one experiences good and evil, pleasure and pain, fear and sorrow. 

1. In time, trees grow, branches develop, flowers blossom and fruits appear. In time, the fruitful tree decays. 
2. Similarly, in time, human beings grow and decline. 
3. In time, the creator creates, the preserver preserves and the destroyer destroys. This is the law of creation, preservation and destruction. All things, from Lord Brahma down to a blade of grass, are artificial and temporary. 
4. In time, they grow and decay. Thus it would be better for you to adore Radha's consort, Lord Krsna, who is distinct from the three modes of material nature, who is the Supersoul within all and the Lord of all.
5. Seek the Supreme Krsna, who is the death of death, the time of time, the creator of the creator, the preserver of the preserver and the destroyer of the destroyer. 

Take shelter of Krsna, for it is by His command that the wind blows swiftly, the sun radiates heat, Indra pours rain, death visits human beings, fire burns, and the moon travels through the sky. 

Couple in Fusion with Nature's Delight

 Sankhacuda and Tulasi left the hermitage and began to travel to various places. They went to different 

1. mountains, 
2. flower gardens, 
3. caves, 
4. beaches, 
5. riversides and 
6. forests. 

Wherever they went, they enjoyed each other's company with great satisfaction, never tiring of one another. Sankhacuda then brought Tulasi to his own kingdom and there they continued to delight in each other's company.

Couple's Mutual Gifts

Sankhacuda then married Tulasi by the Gandharva rite. Glorifying the marriage, the demigods sounded their drums and showered flowers on them from the sky.

Sometimes the newly married couple would go to a flower grove and at other times to a river bank. There they would sleep on flower beds smeared with sandal paste and enjoy marital pleasures. Tulasi easily stole the heart of her husband, and Sankhacuda also attracted Tulasi's heart. After Tulasi 

1. garlanded her husband with parijata flowers, which prevent disease and old age, 
2. she placed a precious jeweled ring on his finger and 
3. offered him rare beautiful gems. 

Bowing down to his feet with devotion, she repeatedly said, "I am at your service!"

1. Sankhacuda smiled. He then presented Tulasi with 
2. clothes he had obtained from Lord Varuna's house; 
3. he also gave her a precious necklace of jewels, 
4. an armlet he had gotten from Svaha (Agni's wife), 
5. armlets from Chhaya (the sun god's wife), 
6. earrings from Rohini (the moon god's wife), 
7. finger rings from Rati (Cupid's wife), 
8. conch ornaments from Visvakarma, 
9. as well as excellent bedding adorned with pearls and jewels. 

After further adorning her, he placed her feet on his chest and said, "I am your servant."
