An explanation of

Anukul / Pratikul

Planetary Gem Choosing Philosophies

 

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 - AKA known as GOODISM

 

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

be chosen for Pratikul (unfavorable) grahas - AKA known as BADISM

 

Pratikul Planet's gem choosing method for overcoming 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. Some persons opine that a harmful planet means that the

planet's "cosmic color" is weak. The gems for the planets are

concentrated essential cosmic color rays; so by wearing the gem for the

weak, Pratikul (harmful) color that weak color is strengthened, and

when the weak color is stronger then the harmful influence will be

REVERSED, removed or mitigated. 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.

 

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

one's auspicious (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 all Jyotish there are

basically two broad catagories of planetary position, viz., favorable

(to the chart) (Anukul) OR unfavorable (to the chart). 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 10th 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.

 

PGA COMMENT

 

The PGA respectfully quotes Vedic Astrologer, Tom Hopke (Nalini),

author of How to Read Your Horoscope ©1988 - pg. 280, para 2 where he

states, "The Astrologer should use common sense - direct people away

from their weaknesses and towards their strengths."
