GEM CHOOSING: Goodism v/s Badism

[Guest guest]

Anukul Planet's gem choosing method for resorting to or harnessing one's

auspicious or

Anukul planet(s) (exalted, mulatrikona, own sign, benefic, great friend, good

house, owner

of good house, etc.) based on the concept that lucky planet = lucky gem! In

Jyotish there

are basically two broad categories of planetary position, viz., favorable (to

the chart) -

Anukul OR unfavorable (to the chart) - Pratikul. One should avoid their weakness

and

cultivate their strengths. "Ratna-anukul" means the auspicious gem of strongest

most

desirable planet. Example: One has Leo Lagna - their lagna lord is Sun, who is

exalted

(100% strength) and posited in the 9th house which is all very auspicious. That

person

would be advised to use a fine ruby, the Sun's gem, to attract or harness his

auspicious

influence. On the other hand if a person had Saturn debilitated (0% strength)

and in the

8th house they would be advised to avoid Saturn's gem blue sapphire and all

other

Saturnine things or activities. And better still they could donate a blue

sapphire to pacify

Shanideva. The followers of Anukul-vad believe that the pratikul-graha color is

the

unlucky color, and to magnify that bad color will simply increase the problems

caused by

that unlucky Planet. Both methods believe that gems increase cosmic colors of

their

planets, thus for an Anukuli it is considered to be suicide to increase a

pratikul-graha's

color. In Anukul there is never a case where a Pratikul (harmful to the

chart/native)

planet's gem should be worn as it will surely increase the ill fortune; but such

gems for a

Pratikul planet can be used by DONATING them - giving them AWAY - according to

Shastric directions. A pure anukuli believes that a pratikul-gem is NEVER good

to use; it is

increasing the cosmic poison, and ill fortune (a person's bad cosmic vibes)

should NEVER

be increased. Anukul means a planet that is beneficially disposed either by

being strong in

own sign, good house, ruler of houses which will bring positive results, or

otherwise not ill

disposed nor inclined to produce evil influence. A planet which is good for the

chart either

naturally or by house ruler ship yet somewhat weakened by placement may be

strengthened through the gem, or a planet which already is strong and giving

benefic

influence may be further strengthened for gains in particular areas of life by

wearing the

gem.

 

Pratikul Planet's gem choosing method for strengthening a weak or evil planet,

based on

the misconception that a 'pratikul' (inauspicious) planet is strengthened by

wearing it's

gem and there by it changes from being inauspicious (pratikul) to become

auspicious

(anukul). ILLOGIC: By providing the gem for a malefic planet, benefic results

will follow.

Example: A person has Jupiter debilitated and a malefic which is inauspicious or

pratikul,

but by wearing Jupiter's gem, yellow sapphire or another yellow Jupiter jewel,

it is believed

that the 'weak' (troublesome) Jupiter gets strengthened and REVERSES to become

auspicious. Pratikul means a planet that causes evil influence or suffering to

the native as

seen through the horoscope. This may be a debilitated planet who is in a

dusthana and

enemy of the lord of the lagna, or otherwise disposed that the influence simply

causes

suffering.

 

Before describing the most popular methods, let me first say that choosing gems

which

are favorable (Anukul for the native's chart) as well as clean (amala) and

auspicious, these

two are a MUST in planetary gemology. Of the 6 PGA CODES the prohibition against

astrological use of synthetics is the least of all PG evils as synthetics have

no harmful

effect because they have NO effect whatsoever. The most important considerations

are

Anukul-graha gem choosing and flawless gems - 100% loupe clean down to 80% loupe

clean is an acceptable range in our experience. Always exercise CAUTION with any

gem

that has clarity below 80% loupe clean. Very flawed gems are dead due to serious

life-

ending defects, and according to Shastra, "If anyone wears a gem with many flaws

(even)

out of ignorance, then grief, anxiety, sickness, death, loss of wealth and other

evils

torment them."--- Sri Garuda Purana:1.70.19
