Gems, Astrology and Remedies

Gems and Astrology

Astrology and gems are associated from times immemorial. Astrologers often recommend gems and associate them to planets. While the association is clear in so many classics, the wearing of gems for particular planet is not mentioned in certain classics. Vrihadjataka, Vrhat Shanita, Yukti Kalpataru, Rajvallabha, Shushrut Shanita , Garud Purana refers to use of gems in certain conditions and they associate gems to planets. Please note that 'Gems' refers to 'Ratna' and every stone is not gemstone. Classics define "Ratna" according to following basis:

1. Gems taken out or mined on inauspicious Muhurta have ill affects despite of being good in luster and appearance. (Most of gems do not fulfill this criteria)..

2. Gems should be free of inclusions, spots, internal cracks and should carry proper color. (90% of the gems sold by astrologers do not fit this description).

3. Gems are worn after certain propitiation and rituals like removal of negative influences through proper mantras.

4. A gem which is powerful and fulfills above criteria gets devoid of its power when the inheritor is an impure person. Please refer to the epic related to Syamantak mani.

When we look at above criteria, it is very clear and evident that an average man, who is bound by restrictions of average income cannot possess above kind of "Ratnas". Gems will come to you if you own a powerful horoscope and trust me they will fit above definitions. Considering the authenticity of wearing gems, certain classics do not mention them as remedies. Rather, they are mentioned as powerful Talismans related to certain planets. In those times gems were not available easily. One cannot acquire them through others. Now with better facilities of mining and lapidary, gems are within the reach of certain class of people. Still they may or may not fulfill particular criteria and may not affect people as been mentioned in classics. I have stressed this idea in many of my write ups, that it is not so easy to change your destiny. Gems can off course change your destiny, but again that can only take place after supernormal intervention.

I can narrate an incident which is related to my life only. A person from Iceland came to visit me for astrological consultation. He became a good friend of mine and asked me to explain certain mantras and their process. He was devoted to lord Shiva and so, while he was leaving the country, I gifted him a beautiful Crystal Shivlingam. He was so happy with the above thing that he gave me a blue sapphire piece just as a token of appreciation. This sapphire was deep blue in color and fulfilled every criteria mentioned in the Shastras. Moreover it had a blue sheen like a peacock's blue shine on its long neck. I got it embedded in Gold and performed the rituals mention in the classics. I wore it and the experience I got, is unparalleled. Unlike whatever is been mentioned in classics, I had a totally different experience. I constantly felt a cold sensation near my solar plexus and my back. This sensation moved towards my head and my head remained cold most of time. I felt as if somebody had kept ice on my head. I also felt that a golden hew surrounded everybody I used to talk to. As if this was not enough, there were times when I felt that I am not inside my body. I know, most of this would be taken as a joke, but what I have mentioned is true, word to word.

Later on I also understood the astrological combination which resulted into this kind of experience. Please note that gems have particular powers and when God needs you to be out of troubles, he can definitely show you his powers.

Remedies affect a person only in certain cases when the mantra is properly invoked and then denailed. Most of the sadhus initiate people with wrong mantras. The utkeelan process of a mantra could only be achieved through a proper Guru who understands and lives with a mantra. Same is the case with Yantras. Yantras have supernormal powers once they are charged. But they lose their power when the "Karta" or the owner becomes impure. The devatas which reside in a yantra leave it when impurity enters a "Sadhak's " mind.

Gems have the same criteria. They need to be washed with proper herbs and the person wearing it needs to maintain a high level of purity. It is better to wear them around neck then in fingers. Every gem should be purified before wearing. The purification can be performed by keeping gems in their respective herbs for a period of twenty four hours. Gems associated to planets which are malefic in a horoscope, should never be worn. Donations of gems are indicated in Shastras as remedies. One who cannot procure high quality gems can donate their substitutes as remedies. Gems could be worn or affect a person if they fulfill the above mentioned criteria. Gems are often attracted towards people who have very strong Venus and who are undergoing a Venus major period. One can collect gems during such periods.

Gems which are not mined and are formed in animals, shells and other organisms are called devmanis and they bear supernormal powers. They are very rare and cannot be obtained without luck. Please note that gemstones have nothing to do with money. Even if you have got too much money, you will not be able to procure a proper gem. There is a very simple reason behind it. You cannot change your destiny so easily.
