What's the function of talisman (intro)

[Guest guest]

Dear Sanjay...

 

Here is the essence:

 

GEM: A natural pearl, coral, shell, seed, tooth, or mineral that is

valued for its durability, rarity, portability, beauty, perfection or

astrological metaphysical influence.

 

GEMOLOGY: The study of naturally occurring gems.

 

PLANETARY GEMOLOGY: (Ratna-vijnana or Ratna-para-vidya) Ancient Vedic

science of the relationship between 9 (categories of) GEMS and 9

(categories of ) PLANETS recognized as most important in sidereal

astrology and ayurveda. Based on the "Navaratna" philosophy of Vedic

birthstones.

 

PLANETARY GEMOLOGIST (PG): A practitioner who is BOTH a Certified

Gemologist as well as being a Planetary Gem Advisor (PGA) qualified to

determine gem choosing based on Jyotish (Vedic Astrology).

 

An ancient Sanskrit verse quoted in the "Mani-mala" page 575, verse 79

by S. M. Tagore (1879), and also in the ancient "Jataka Parijata,"

chap. 2, sloka 21 compiled by Sri Vaidyanatha Dikshitar (son of

Venkata-dhari), and reads in Sanskrit as follows:

 

Manikyam taraneh sujatyamamalam muktaphalam shitagoh

maheyasya cha vidrumao nigaditah saumyasya-garutmakam

devejyasya cha pushparagam asura-achryasya vajram shaneh

nilam nirmalamanyayoshcha gadite gomeda-vaiduryake

 

Translation:

 

1) Ruby for the Sun,

2) Pearl for the Moon,

3) Coral for Mars,

4) Emerald for Mercury,

5) Yellow sapphire for Jupiter,

6) Diamond for Venus,

7) Blue sapphire for Saturn,

8) Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon)

9) Cat's eye for Ketu (the descending node of the Moon),

these gems must be high-born (top quality) and flawless

 

In this important sloka the words, "sujatyam-amalam" (sujati=high

born, and amala=completely pure or flawless) are very significant.

According to bona fide Vedic authority only clean top quality gems are

considered to be auspicious.

 

The Planetary Gemology World is divided into two (2) opposing

philosophies, viz., Anukul-vad v/s Pratikul-vad:

 

ANUKULA-VAD: A Jyotish Gem will act "SAME" as it's planet - So gems

should be chosen for Anukul (favorable) grahas

 

PRATIKUL-VAD: A Jyotish Gem will act "OPPOSITE" of it's planet - So

gems should be chosen for Pratikul (unfavorable) grahas. <---this is

nonsense and forbidden by the PGA http://p-g-a.org

 

Hope this helps...
