Blue sapphire - info to Mary

[Guest guest]

Dear Mary,

 

Namaste!!! You're most welcome. In answer to your question I'm going to explain

the

conflicting systems of Planetary Gemology today, and give you an example from my

own

direct experience.

 

The Planetary Gemology World is divided into two (2) opposing philosophies,

viz., Anukul-

vad v/s Pratikul-vad:

 

ANUKULA-VAD: A gem will act "SAME" as it's planet - So gems should be chosen for

Anukul (favorable) grahas

 

PRATIKUL-VAD: A gem will act "OPPOSITE" of it's planet - So gems should be

chosen for

Pratikul (unfavorable) grahas

 

Now here is my story (as published in the Astrological magazine) so you can make

up your

own mind in this matter...

 

An example may be taken from one of my own experiences with gem therapy.

According

to my Sidereal horoscope (above) I have some exalted (strong) planets, a weak

planet and

a negative planet. Saturn in particular is already a "krura-graha" or cruel

planet and it's

position in my horoscope is even worse. Still, I was advised by some sidereal

astrologers

to use a blue sapphire, the gem for Saturn, in order to "pacify" or CHANGE

Saturn's

harmful influence on me. This brings up the question of how gems should be

chosen and

what their effects will be. One group opines that gems should be used to

"pacify" harmful

planets; another group believes that gems should be used to "strengthen" weak

planetary

influences. While yet another belief is in "strengthening" beneficial or

auspicious planets.

Let me relate my own experience and tell what my final conclusion is. Every

Sidereal

astrologer who has read my chart points out that Saturn in Cancer in the 1st

house is quite

malefic and is causing me many of the more long lasting problems in my life. I

was

advised to wear a blue sapphire to "pacify" Saturn. After a long search I found

a 7 carat

flawless, unburned, "Brahmin" colored blue sapphire from Burma. I bought the

gem,

immediately had it set into a special gold ring, and on Saturday, two hours and

forty

minutes before sunset, I installed the ring after reciting the appropriate

mantras.

 

Almost as soon as I started wearing this most auspicious blue sapphire I began

having ill

fortune. I started getting frequent headaches and my business started slowing

down along

with my energy level. Almost everything I did was beset with obstacles. Finally,

after using

the stone for almost 1 year, I took it off in frustration. Later I had the

opportunity to show

my birth chart to Pandit Vidyadhar Shukla (the Chief Brahmin Priest of Thailand)

who

confirmed that Saturn was indeed a "bad influence" for me. He further suggested

that as

the blue sapphire had made matters worse this was a good case against the theory

that

gems "pacify" harmful planets. He suggested that I should wear a ruby to

"strengthen" the

Sun in order to counteract Saturn's harmful influence. Since following this

advice I have

experienced much better effects on both my heath, business and over-all outlook.

 

In conclusion, the only governing body in the global planetary gemology world is

the PGA

and the Planetary Gemologists Association has 6 rules, and one of those rules

FORBIDS the

practice of "Pratikulvad" such as prescribing gems for bad influences.

 

You should donate your blue sapphire, during waxing moon, on a Saturday evening

give it

to a "poor young man." That "act" alone will show immediate good effect.

 

To very effectively counteract the Sade Sati nothing on Earth is as effective as

wearing one

14 faced Rudraksha seed from Nepal (as I do). Genuine cost about $500 average,

but that

is peanuts compared to the benefit.

 

Best regards,

Richard

Dear Richard,

 

thank you for responding so quickly and thoroughly. And yes, after

reading what you had to say - I'm convinced that giving the stone

away would eb the right thing to do. Considering your experience in

gems, I would be really stupid not to take your advice. Thank you

again, and may I add what a wonderful job you are doing with the

group. I'm learning so much...

 

Love

Mary
