Dear Pandit Tata,

 

Namaste!!! I agree. It is hard to photograph a quartz ball. The piece

in example is already long gone. But we have another ball weighing 2200

carats set with 300 diamonds we're planning to give to H.M. the King on

this 60th anniversary of his ascending the throne of Siam. In about one

month we'll arrange it through our royal connections. Our 9 year old

son is a student in the Palace here which is surrounded with a huge

moat and machine gun toting Royal Guards all around. I'm the 1st

videshi in Thailand to ever get their son into the Palace school, which

is Royal Ultra HiSo and most exclusive even for rich Thai's. I was able

to get our son into the palace school mainly because Prof Satya Vrat

Shastri of Delhi, who previolusly had been prof of Sanskrit to HRH

Princess Maha Chakri and was very loved by her. He wrote his personal

request to the Princess for our son... the only favour he ever asked of

them.

 

BTW: Back in 1994 I got a completed 18 volume set of Srimad Bhagavat

Sanskrit with Eng. Translations by my Gurudev. We have a special stand

made for the books and put a 4 oz gold name plate also adorned with a

blue sapphire (vairagya) and yellow sapp (vidya). We arranged through

the President of the privy council to give to The King for his royal

library. If you want to see what it looked like just

--- I'll find a picture of that huge crystal ball and put up ASAP. We

will also rephotograph it and we'll try your suggestion. I've got

Bangkoks top Jewelery photographer, Khun Adisorn.

 

I found that crystal balls came out best on red background, even I

wanted Indigo background still it didn't work, and the ball looked best

on red. Note: Balls of crystal suck the light inside rather than

lighting up themselves. And the Hexagonal crystal structure is the

pattern in which all the flawless atoms (anu) are arranged in the

crystal, regardless of external shape. On the other hand glass is

amorphos (without pattern), and has no crystal structure. I think it is

only natural Quartz crystal balls that can tell the future to siddhas.

Not glass, and certainly not CRACKED crystal balls.

 

How about my last message on Sacred Gemology book? So far there are 4

writers. If you see any other topics you want please let me know. When

your material is collated and high res pics are ready then please send

me on a CD, including hi res picture of yourself.

 

I'll do the page design and layout and size and augment the pictures. I

sent you some of my books so you can see my work. Please let me know

when they arrive. They were sent 10 days back by surface bookpost

(they're heavy books).

 

Interesting... back in 1970s I was involved in building two still

running schools in Vraja Dham, and My OTHER Gurudev had sent me to meet

senior Mr Tata of Tata idustries, and he liked me. He gave a nice

donation and ads on several occasions. I also stayed often as house

guest of Jai Dayal Dalmia when visiting Delhi for dham-sheva. I had

dinner every night with Dalmiaji. He was about 65 years old back then,

maybe 70. Very skinny man. Our dinner was cooked by brahmins and served

on solid gold thalis. Loads of great prasadam for me, BUT, poor

Dalmiaji could only drink Barley Water. He couldn't eat solid food or

ghee. It was ironic that thbe measure of wealth in India is GHEE, and

he was India's most rich man, who could afford an ocean of ghee, and

yet he couldn't eat one drop!  I also was friends with Sada Jivit Lal

in Bombay who owned huge sweets business in Bombay... had many branches

named "Pujabi Chandu Halwai" Whenever I would visit him he gives me a

plate full of the World's BEST sweets, but he himself was serious

diabetic and he could NOT eat ANY sweets at all. Rama Teri maya!!!

 

Best rgds,

Richard

 

Dear Richardji,

Being a fashion garments exports man I value and admire presentation.

Most of your photos are very good but this one is disappointing

considering its size and the trimmings that go with it. A crystal must

sparkle or glow - WHITE. So suggest you re-photograph it with a

black/purple background and try to catch the glow/sparkle.
