The misfortune related to Blue Sapphire <---my experience

[Guest guest]

Dear Alok,

 

Here is my own experience... taken from my 1995 book, Ancient Astrological

Gemstones &

Talismans...

 

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.

 

IMPORTANT: Which ever planetary gemstone(s) you choose must be free of visible

flaws in

order to properly transmit beneficial astral energy. Even though there is

precious little

direct information on the use of planetary gemstones in the Vedic texts, we do

have the

following quote from the ancient Agni-puranam, (Chapter 246, Verses 7 & 8):

 

"A gem free from all impurities

and radiating its characteristic internal luster

should be looked upon as an "escort" of good luck.

A gem which is cracked, fissured, devoid of luster,

or appearing rough or sandy,

should not be used at all."

 

Best rgds,

Richard
