Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Hi Anna, If you decide to use a Jupiter stone per Robert's advice, "...put on a Yellow Sapphire, or other less expensive yellow gems for Jupiter (Topaz, Yellow beryl, Citrine, etc.) to stipulate and balance the energies of Jupiter." bear in mind that these stones are all generally heated and/or irradiated stones. In fact most citrine is not citrine at all, rather it is heat treated amethyst that in the heating process looses it's characteristic purple color and becomes yellow/golden in hue. Is it then a Saturn stone or a Jupiter stone? Just some food for thought.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2001 Report Share Posted February 12, 2001 Om Krishnaaya Namah Hi Wendy, > things associated with the malefic planet. I want to make it clear that > wearing a gem or repeating the planetary mantra is NOT pacifying > the malefic > planet...it is strengthening it...this is not advised! While I agree that gems don't pacify malefics, I disagree with you about mantras. Mantras are a method of worship. The words "Namahpranamamyaham" etc. so common in planetary mantras (pauranic and tantrik) all roughly translate to "I offer my respectful obesances to..." The Grahas are demigods. As Sri Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, demigod worshippers will get materialistic benefits very quickly. Parashara also says that if a Graha Devata is worshipped, it won't give bad effects. Sri Brahmaji has given the Grahas a boon, that they may bestow good effects on their worshippers. So I disagree with your statement that mantras won't pacify planets. Personally I haven't experimented with the Graha mantras for Graha Shanti. I feel that by worshipping my Lord, Sri Krishna, in various ways, I get the goods directly from the manufacturer :-) And of course that way, I don't lose my efforts at death. If I have to come back next time, my work is saved (as promised in the Gita). Bye-Bye, Pursottam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I know of at least two very reliable and competent Vedic gemologists (and I'm sure there are more, if you look for them) who acquire Yellow Sapphire *at the source* thus guaranteeing their being non-heat-treated. The best advice to Ann, therefore, should be to search for reliable sources, rather than discourage Yellow Sapphire altogether. If anybody wants information on competent Vedic gemologists, send me a private email. With regards, Robert ===================================== Robert A.
