Jyotish Gem Clarity & Naga Mani & Lakshmi Shank

[Guest guest]

Dear Sriman Panditji,

 

Vande gurun isha bhaktan!!!

 

I have uploaded the picture of a genuine Ichadhari nagamani to Photos section of

this

group vedic astrology/ Please have a look.

 

We have been after these sacred objects since 1968, and turned it into a career

in 1975

with our first book, Sri Chintamani Astro Jewels. Of all the sacred objects we

have in our

Bangkok Sri Navaratna museum there are some too sacred to put on display, such

as

Kailash Shila, Shalagram Shila, Lakshmi Shank. We have all these items,

including genuine

Valampuri, but we keep at home in our small temple and do daily puja. Only the

cyber

version of our Museum has these items on exhibit at

http://www.navaratna-museum.info/

 

I'm glad to send any interesting items when possible. I just saw an 11 carat

Shank Mani

(Conch Pearl) in perfect quality, and they're asking price was $50,000. I wrote,

for that

much money you could obtain a barrel full of Lakshmi Shank shells, any one of

which is

more sacred than a Shank Mani - unless of course the Shank Mani came from a

Lakshmi

Shank. That would be priceless and impossible to prove. But still an interesting

thought.

 

I'm really glad to see people are following the "Anukul-vad" system of gem

choosing and

great astrologers are also in agreement. I have been pushing this word, "Anukul"

to be

used in relationship to Jyotish since starting the

Graha-anukul-ratna-visheshajna

parishad" back in 1997 along with Smt Gayatri Devi Vasudev. At first there was

resistence

to the term "Anukul" in jyotish and planetary gemology, but gradually it is

clearing up. I'm

very happy to see. That means less people will suffer from the "Pratikulvad"

system that is

still going on today in many circles. That needs to be stopped all together.

 

Respectful regards,

Y/s

Richard
