Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Namaste VistiThanks for your feedback on wearing gemstones. I would like to share something about gemstones, especially corundums. The corundum family includes:1. Ruby2. Yellow Sapphire3. White Sapphire 4. Blue Sapphire5. Green Sapphire6. Green-Blue Sapphire7. Pink Sapphire8. Light and faint yellow sapphire10. Orange Sapphire11. Yellow & Orange Sapphires (Peach Sapphire) known as Padparadscha (very famous in Sri Lanka) 12. Yellow & Blue Sapphire As you see the same family of stones relates to Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Venus. This is dependent upon their chemical composition and color of light emitted. In that sense, white sapphires are related to Venus only and Light yellow sapphire could be said to have similar effects that Sri Hari has shared with us. It is unlikely that a white sapphire will have results of Jupiter. Similarly, you can use a Green-Blue Sapphire effectively for Mercury-Saturn combination if required. Padparadscha is a beautiful gemstone that happened to come to me on its own accord. Intuitively and through its colors, it is likely to enhance both Jupiter and Sun. It is clear that gemstones should not be tried frivolously. One should treat them with respect. I have seen people wearing the right gemstone but without proper worship, it usually will not get the desired results. I guess the same happened in your case and thanks to Sanjayji that he helped you overcome its imbalances. Before wearing, following is a must:1. Wash them with Gangajal or water kept in Copper vessel overnight (left open under the sky).2. In the morning, keep the gemstone in unboiled milk (preferably cow's milk) 3. Draw the Yantra of the graha on a Bhojpatra using Anar (pomegranate) stem.4. Worship the diety of the graha. Suppose if you need to wear an emerald, then please worship Lord Vishnu first. 5. Worship the Yantra and the Gemstone, at the prescribed time and date, facing the direction of the said graha. While taking of a gemstone too, it should be done in the temple of the diety of the said graha. Let me share another thing with you. Recently I had prescribed an Amethyst to a person. He got the pendant made but whenever he would wear it, his head would spin. He brought the pendant to me and when I held it, it had huge negativity. If you are attuned, you can feel these vibrations with gemstones. Within a few minutes I could make out that it wasn't the gemstone, but the metal used around it.. was impure. He got it remade it in Sterling Silver and it suits him fine now. I agree fully that impurity of past people handling the stone, the metal used in encasing it, the muhurta of wearing it, does brings changes in the effects. Coming back to using Blue Sapphire for an Aries ascendant to strengthen Capricorn. I still wonder why would it not strengthen both Saturn and Aquarius too. This is still my doubt regarding your earlier post. Is there a way to limit its effects to a particular Rashi only?

To test this i would sometimes take of the gem for a few weeks and then wear it again for a week to see the effects only to confirm that i fell sick again. This was a citrine at the time. This happened to the extent that i gave up on wearing the gem and wanted to give it back. At this juncture Sanjayji told me to keep the gem in milk overnight. The next morning we then sat down and recited the Brhaspati Gayatri whilst keeping the gem in the left hand and covering it with the right (prasna marga). The result was that i barely fell sick ever again whilst wearing the gemstone. I learnt alot of jyotish and my trips back and forth through conferences began. Since then i realized that the gemstone ALSO depends on the devata who will sit in it, and a gemstone without a devata will be like a house without any other occupant than the thoughts and feelings of the one who previously handled the gemstone. Well.... i fell sick with that. Since then i always wear the gemstone on the day of the devata after reciting mantras for that devata, thus imbibing the gemstone with some auspicious 'bimba'. Has anybody written any articles on how to do this, and do you always make sure to practice this yourself?

In my case, Rahu is in the 9th with Venus for Mithuna Lagna. Jupiter is in 5th house aspected by Mars (10th), Rahu (9th) and Saturn (11th house). Though I have many gemstones with me, I cannot wear Yellow Sapphire or Citrine. Major problems start almost immediately. I usually take white sapphire for Venus and it is likely to strengthen the Rasis Taurus and Libra, instead of Pisces, apart from the graha itself. Can you pass on your birth details if you do not mind? My point is when a graha is a functional malefic and an enemy of Lagna lord, should we wear its gemstone? My thoughts and experience tells - No. Now, when I read your mail regarding Blue sapphire for uplifting Saturn for Aries lagna, I get this doubt. I am passing this message to Sohamsa as well as to Sri Swee.. and let us see what all have to say on this matter. I'd really like to hear Sanjayji's comments too. Hope he isn't busy.

Btw. the mantra is normally pronounced: Om Gurave Namah| I must ask, who is sushma gupta which your email id had written in it? o Pratama prasna The wearing of a blue sapphire is to make Capricorn more prominent, and thus cause the exaltation of Mars. Similarly for Venus in own sign in sixth/eighth we advise Yellow Sapphire to exalted Venus, and make Pisces more prominent. o Dvitiiya prasna When a kendra lord is a malefic its effects can become very auspicious in a dusthana house and form a vipareet raja yoga. This is not so for benefics. For example: Saturn in twelfth for Vrishabha lagna is an excellent Vipareet Raja Yoga, but Venus in twelfth for Capricorn lagna definitely isn't.... unless the person travels abroad. This follows the general principle that malefics are auspicious in dusthanas, whilst benefics are auspicious in trikonas. That way Mars in twelfth for Leo lagna can prove to be a powerful raja yoga, but jealousy from others may remain due to its aspect on the sixth house from lagna. o Tritiiya prasna There could be various reasons to advise a gemstone for the ninth house. If rahu is joined the ninth house or lord, or aspecting, then no doubt a yellow sapphire should be worn... no matter the position of Jupiter. In fact, if such a gemstone is not advised the luck of the person simply won't start. Instead the person will be running in circles. Now, if in a case the lord of the ninth house lords an inauspicious house, and is ALSO placed in it, we have a problem. Example: for Aries lagna, Jupiter in twelfth can cause separation from father, as it is also ninth lord. In such cases only advise the gemstone if absolutely necessary to avoid a greater evil (rahu, saturn, etc).

Prescription of Blue sapphire : You mention for : - Aries/Scorpio Ascendant if Mars is in 8H/6H OR - Taurus/Libra Ascendant if Ve in (6H/8H) recommend Blue sapphire. a. However Aries is sign of debilitation of Saturn, moreover it is also a Badhakesh. Is Blue sapphire still recommended? b. Also Taurus/Libra Asc what if Saturn is placed in bad house like 6H or 8H. e.g. - Taurus asc – Venus and Saturn (exalted in 6H) in Libra, Is Blue sapphire still recommended? 2.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Anuj, Namaste Sterling silver is silver mixed with copper and is NOT considered pure. It oxidises after sometime and one requires caustic chemicals to polish the metal. because of the copper content. Pure silver is 999.9 which Zambia was renowned for, though very difficult to obtain nowadays and we need to re-assay it o obtain that purity. One does not have to necessarily make a permanent yantra for the particular graha. The suggestion from the Padma Purana suggests giving the gemstone away to a Brahmin as an upaya. What is taught to me is the yantra for the deity that presides over the gemstone. This is the yantra that is to be drawn and can be washed off after the offering and yagna or the not so elaborate agni hotra. Depending on which deity one wishes to invite, the mantra siddhi is according to that. It is important that a good muhurta is elected for the purchase of the gemstone, the setting of the gemstone and then the offering. In the less elaborate method of installing, one can soak the gemstone in raw cow milk overnight. In the morning, rinse off the milk with pure mineral water if ganga jal is not available. The gemstone is worn during the hora of the presiding planet on the day related to the planet though another option is to choose a day that is friendly to that planet and choose the hora that planet can be exalted in. Personally, this is my preference. In the story of the Syamantaka " Mani " , the mantra/eulogy of Surya was offered before the " ratna " was offered. The story has several meanings as we know, as the recount of the story is variable depending on which energy is desired and according to the " type " of purana. love, Swee On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 01:20PM, " Bharat Hindu Astrology " <hinduastrology wrote: >Namaste Visti > >Thanks for your feedback on wearing gemstones. > >I would like to share something about gemstones, especially corundums.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Namaste Sri SweeYou are right Sterling Silver is only 92% silver. What I meant in my earlier post was, that the pendant was made with ashtadhatu but with a major flaw. We later found out while dismantling the pendant -that the guy had hammered a tiny iron nail in the pendant.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 |OM GURAVE NAMAH| Dear Swee ji, Visti ji and Anuj, I have a yellow sapphire that I had been wearing for the last three years. I had to remove it after my recent pregnancy because of swelling in my hand. Can you recommend a good time and the procedure for re-wearing it. I am attaching my chart below.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Chandrashekharji, Namaste ............and nails are normally made out of iron. I think Anuj was trying to to tell us that the gentleman had the ring set in 8 metals and that the alternate suggestion of the amethyst being set in pure silver is the better option. Talking of which, I had a funny experience when I visited Kali Ghat. I wore an amethyst ring (on my left hand; more an ornament, I guess) with many amethysts set in pure silver with " eyes and hooks " and they are not soldered in any way. Before I went, one fell out and I thought nothing of it. As soon as I visited the temple and was going on my way to the RamaKrishna Temple (by the Ganges), most of the hooks loosened and the gems fell out (though I have them all and removed the ring) and I was left with my Green Tourmaline ring on my pinky. At that temple, an unusual event happened. I was told to obtain tilak from Ma's temple and upon request, the purohit gave me a 5 rupee coin instead until Lakshmi told him in the vernacular that I was requesting for Ma's tilak. I got both and more. love, Swee On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 07:52PM, " Chandrashekhar " <sharma.chandrashekhar wrote: >Dear Swee, > >I think ashtadhaatu is a combination of eight metals: gold, silver, >copper, zinc, lead, tin, iron, and mercury. > >Chandrashekhar. > >Swee Chan wrote: >> >> Jaya Jagannatha >> >> Dear Anuj, >> Namaste >> >> Appease my curiosity on the 8 types of metals used. >> >> Thanks. >> >> love, >> >> Swee >> >> On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 02:21PM, " Bharat Hindu Astrology " >> <hinduastrology <hinduastrology%40gmail.com>> wrote: >> >Namaste Sri Swee >> > >> >You are right Sterling Silver is only 92% silver.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Dear Swee, That was an interesting thing that happened with you. Perhaps Maa was telling that Amethyst in silver is not such a great idea. Of course you know that I am more orthodox and prefer to restrict to the ratnas indicated in ancient texts. I think Gold is suitable for all gems whereas for silver one has also to understand the graha that it relates to and find out its functional nature, for a jataka, before setting a gem in that metal. Of course, you know much better about these things and I could be totally wrong. Love, Chandrashekhar. Swee Chan wrote: Jaya Jagannatha Dear Chandrashekharji, Namaste ............and nails are normally made out of iron. I think Anuj was trying to to tell us that the gentleman had the ring set in 8 metals and that the alternate suggestion of the amethyst being set in pure silver is the better option. Talking of which, I had a funny experience when I visited Kali Ghat. I wore an amethyst ring (on my left hand; more an ornament, I guess) with many amethysts set in pure silver with "eyes and hooks" and they are not soldered in any way. Before I went, one fell out and I thought nothing of it. As soon as I visited the temple and was going on my way to the RamaKrishna Temple (by the Ganges), most of the hooks loosened and the gems fell out (though I have them all and removed the ring) and I was left with my Green Tourmaline ring on my pinky. At that temple, an unusual event happened. I was told to obtain tilak from Ma's temple and upon request, the purohit gave me a 5 rupee coin instead until Lakshmi told him in the vernacular that I was requesting for Ma's tilak. I got both and more. love, Swee On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 07:52PM, "Chandrashekhar" <sharma.chandrashekhar > wrote: >Dear Swee, > >I think ashtadhaatu is a combination of eight metals: gold, silver, >copper, zinc, lead, tin, iron, and mercury. > >Chandrashekhar. > >Swee Chan wrote: >> >> Jaya Jagannatha >> >> Dear Anuj, >> Namaste >> >> Appease my curiosity on the 8 types of metals used. >> >> Thanks. >> >> love, >> >> Swee >> >> On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 02:21PM, "Bharat Hindu Astrology" >> <hinduastrology <hinduastrology%40gmail.com>> wrote: >> >Namaste Sri Swee >> > >> >You are right Sterling Silver is only 92% silver.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Namaste Sri Swee and Sri ChandrshekharLet me share something about Amethyst with you. Most people consider Amethyst is a substitute gemstone for Saturn. It isn't a substitute. In fact, it is one of the most powerful healing gemstone available to us. Amethyst alleviates Saturn's ground realities and practicality to a more purposeful and wholesome action. It helps sensitive people become even more deeply spiritually sensitive. It can calm the wild passions within. Depression and mind can be stabilized through this. Over ambitiousness and self harm emerging from the same is also rooted.... I can go on and on... On a lighter not, do not prescribe Amethyst to the newly married! For Sri Swee experience, perhaps My Ma Kali is telling her not to wear an Amethyst. Maybe she does not need it. Silver is a better option than Ashtadhatu for Amethyst. In the case, I mentioned there was a problem with the making of the pendant itself. The pendant maker - for whatever reasons - hammered a tiny iron nail in the pendant. Well, the person wearing the new sterling silver pendant is much happy now and his head has surely stopped getting heavy and spinning.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Anuj, Namaste Please continue about the properties of Amethyst. Where did you get the information from? What people don't realise is that these are NOT substitute (Uparatna) but actually do the grunt work much better without one having to offer the elaborate rituals that is required of the Maharatnas.
