Gemstones

Since the beginning of civilization, gemstones have always been thought to possess mystical powers. All the main ancient cultures, Vedic, Egyptian, Mayan, and Greek, had used Gemstones for ritualistic, sacramental and healing purposes.But it is only in Vedic Culture that Gemstones are prescribed after complete and comprehensive analysis of Vedic Horoscope, which contains Nine Grahas, in all and this methodology has evolved into full blown empirical Science called Planatary Gemology (Ratna-vijnana or Ratna-para-vidya i.e. Science of Vedic Astrological Gemstones).

As per Vedic Scriptures, Grahas are nine; Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu and Ketu. They are loosely translated as planets, but this is far from truth, as Sun is a star, not planet and Rahu & Ketu are only sensitive points, again not planets. There is no disagreement in the relationship of Gemstones to Grahas in the Vedic Astrology. The ‘Brihat Samhita’, the ‘Agni Purana’, the ‘Graha-Gocara Jyotisha’ and the ‘Garuda Purana’, are some of the Vedic scriptures dealing with planatary Gemology.

As we already know, according to Vedic astrology, nine main gemstones (Nav Ratna, also called sometimes Rashi Ratna) are associated with nine planets. Associated with the Lord Sun is the Astro Vedic Ruby (Manikya), with the Lord Moon is the Astro Vedic Pearl (Mukta, Moti), with Lord Mars is the Astro Vedic Coral (Praval, Moonga), with Lord Mercury is the Astro Vedic Emerald (Markat Mani, Panna), with Lord Jupiter is the Astro Vedic Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj/ Pushparag), with Lord Venus is the Astro Vedic Diamond (Vajra, Heera), with Lord Saturn is the Astro Vedic Blue Sapphire (Neelam, Indraneel), with Lord Rahu is the Astro Vedic Hessonite (Gomed, Gomedha), and with Lord Ketu is the Astro Vedic Cat's eye (Vaidurya Mani, Vidalaksha, Lehsunia). Later on, some institutions like ‘AstroDevam.com’® have started to recommend some alternate Gemstones, on the basis of their extensive researches and empirical evidences. To know about them, one is requested to go through our section ‘Book your Gemstone’, where you can find list of gemstones.

Gemstones have always been perceived as harbingers of peace, prosperity and happiness. But, the Vedic scriptures and ancient Seers have clearly and in very unambiguous terms have discarded this generalization and have dictated that effect of a particular Gemstone, to a particular person, is totally dependant upon his Vedic Horoscope and planatary permutations and combinations lying within it and this effect is nothing to do with the basic character of that Gemstone.

Gemstone which is favorable to you as per your Vedic Horoscope, considered ANUKUL, will bring about name, fame, power to you and make your life blissful and comfortable. It will induce good energy in all spheres of human activity particularly health, career growth, prestige, happiness, including marital bliss, financial gains, business acumen and most important of all personal relations and long life and expel the negative energy that produces sickness and suffering. But if otherwise, i.e. in case of an unfavorable Gemstone, being worn by you, all types of calamities and misfortunes may knock your door.

Since, wearing the wrong gemstones could result into negative tendencies in the life; we never encourage our clients for self experimentation. At ‘AstroDevam.com’®, our team of astrologers takes special care that harmony in one aspect of life is not disturbed, while promoting any other aspect of life.

Gemstones are beyond any doubt one of the most powerful devices used for Remedies in Astrology. Just as the use of right type of medicine can cure a patient, similarly the right choice of ‘Astro Vedic Gemstones’ can make life blissful and harmonious. Since, all the ‘Astro Vedic Gemstones’ work on the principle of absorption and transmission of some particular wavelengths which belong to some particular Graha or some specific area of life, they can be used in many ways:

• On the basis of Vedic Astrological Horoscope, beneficial and favorable Grahas are decided. To strengthen these Grahas, ‘Astro Vedic Gemstones’ are worn, preferably, touching the skin. In harmony with the tones of emanating cosmic energy via its ruling Graha / Planet, they absorb and transmit this peculiar energy to the body of the wearer and create a counter-balancing or harmonizing capacity to him.
• In case of adverse and unfavorable Planets / Grahas, ‘Astro Vedic Gemstones’ governed by them may be donated to ward off their effects. This is the ONLY time, when an unfavorable Vedic Astro Gemstone is to be used by a person - by giving it away.
• Astro Vedic Gemstones’ may also be used in meditation by tuning into their frequency for the purpose of balancing our energy field.
• Astro Vedic Gemstones’ may also be used to enhance any specific area of life, as per Karakatwa / signification of the particular Vedic Astro Gemstone.
• They are precious objects of beauty that may hold a special meaning for us. We enjoy their beauty by giving them a special place on a shelf, desk, or altar.
• Astro Vedic Gemstones’ may also be used for adding 'cosmic color' to one's own aura. As soon as a person is born at some place on the earth, the Constellations, the Signs as well as the planets register their positive or negative energies on different energy centers present inside the body of that person. Instantly an Aura is formed around that person which stays with him for the rest of his life and which keeps on changing more or less depending upon the life periods of that person, good or bad deeds done by that person which affect the significances ruled by the planets and accordingly the positive or negative contributions of the planets to the Aura around that person increase or decreases. This Aura is formed by the radiations of particular strengths and particular natures belonging to particular planets which may be good as well as bad planets for a person as seen with the eye of an astrologer.
