Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 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.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 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...
