Sri Navaratna - WHY DO HINDUS USE JUNK STONES???

Rate this topic


Guest guest

Recommended Posts

dear brother richard

 

your observations are correct that most gemstones sold in india are

junk and on percentage level around 99 percent of the gemstones sold

in india are junk.

 

your observation of rich getting richer and poor getting poorer also

draws a parallel of how a person who cannot afford a precious or semi

precious gem just go for a similar lookalike coloured stone to

satisfy himself that he too got a gem. poor people too can have

great benefic results by doing zero expense remedies like fasting,

recital of mantras, vratas and wearing inexpensive rudraksha.

 

however, i request you to kindly reframe the word " hindu jewellers "

with " gemsellers in india " or " indian gemsellers " because namecalling

of hindu religious jewellers would hurt the sentiments of hindus.

 

here, i also wish to highlight that more than a quarter of gemsellers

in india are jains. there are many leading muslim gold and

gemsellers all over the country. there are few parsi, sikh and very

few christian gemsellers too in the country. so it is not just hindu

jewellers who sell gems in india.

 

recently the world's largest gold mining companies have set up their

shops in india and they have started selling genuine precious

diamonds. accordingly, a couple of belgium based leading diamond

sellers too have opened shops in india and are selling genuine

diamonds. except for these genuine diamonds, i have not seen any

other foreign companies in india selling other precious stones.

 

hence, it is apt to say that most indian gemsellers sell junk stones

instead of calling hindu gemsellers.

 

with best wishes and blessings

Dear Panditji,

 

As a proud Hindu myself your point is well taken. I would always stand

up for Hinduism and have done so many times. I built 2 schools in

India, and I was close friends with the biggest Hindus, including

President VV Giri. My Gurus are Hindus. And my Dharma is Hindu.

 

But the point about the other religions in India who also are in gem

business, like Muslim, Jain, Sikh, etc., is only valid if their

Shastras ALSO forbid BAD stones. As I believe only Hindu Shastras have

this injunction against JUNK STONES. It is only a Hindu rule. Therefore no one

can rightly fault the others.

 

Jai Hind!!!

 

Y/friend

Richard

Punditji,

Really is this shunk really worth 7000 rupees per gram meaning for 92 grams it cost 6.3 lacks, sorry but is this not way over costly, person can have a real gold laxmijis murti or even big heavy pure silver laxmi & vishnujis murtis to pray basically you are praying goddess laxmiji,

no wonder why indians might not appriciating this high cost?any way if some one can justify this concept?

is it worth to spend this kind of money on shunk & not on real gold or silver laxmi=vishnu murtis

please get me wrong but i dont have any idea on this shunk?

please guide me

thanks

dear brother richardyour observations are correct that most gemstones sold in india are junk and on percentage level around 99 percent of the gemstones sold in india are junk.your observation of rich getting richer and poor getting poorer also draws a parallel of how a person who cannot afford a precious or semi precious gem just go for a similar lookalike coloured stone to satisfy himself that he too got a gem. poor people too can have great benefic results by doing zero expense remedies like fasting, recital of mantras, vratas and wearing inexpensive rudraksha.however, i request you to kindly reframe the word "hindu jewellers" with "gemsellers in india" or "indian gemsellers" because namecalling of hindu religious jewellers would hurt the sentiments of hindus.here, i also wish to highlight that more than a quarter of gemsellers in india are jains. there are many leading muslim

gold and gemsellers all over the country. there are few parsi, sikh and very few christian gemsellers too in the country. so it is not just hindu jewellers who sell gems in india.recently the world's largest gold mining companies have set up their shops in india and they have started selling genuine precious diamonds. accordingly, a couple of belgium based leading diamond sellers too have opened shops in india and are selling genuine diamonds. except for these genuine diamonds, i have not seen any other foreign companies in india selling other precious stones.hence, it is apt to say that most indian gemsellers sell junk stones instead of calling hindu gemsellers.with best wishes and blessingspandit arjunwww.rudraksharemedy .comsacred-objects@

Dear Rashmi,

 

The Lakshmi Shank is a NATURAL sacred object. Not man-made like

Murtis. The Value of Lakshmi Shank, even for Rs. 20,000 per gram is

never too expensive, it is priceless. And this holds true even for

non-Hindu shank (conch) collectors the world over. Because among

conchologists the Indian Lakshmi Shank is the most valuable and rare

of all the shells on Earth.

 

In fact, it was from NON-Hindu Conchologists that I finally came to

understand what is a real Lakshmi Shank, because 99.9% of Hindus do

NOT know what is a real Lakshmi Shank (they mistake American Whelk

shells), and it is the purpose of this group to reveal the REAL SACRED

NATURAL OBJECTS of Sanatan Dharma, and debunk the bogus practices that

have infected Hindu Dharma.

 

BTW: Even at Rs 7000 per gram, the real Lakshmi Shank is cheap

compared to fine rubies, diamonds and emeralds, etc., which are also

NATURAL sacred Objects of Hinduism.

 

Thus the answer to your question justifies the value of this group and

it's learned members.

 

Best wishes,

Richard

dear friends

 

richardji highlighted the significance and priceless nature of the

lakshmi shankh.

 

let me add the rarity part which plays an important role where there

is a huge demand supply gap.

 

several decades ago, many (if not most) vaishnavaite temples had this

lakshmi shankh which they worshipped as an embodiment of goddess

lakshmi. i have seen many temples where this shankh is also

worshipped along with the diety. besides, it is believed to be the

same or similar lakshmi shankh that is in the hands of vishnu or

krishna.

 

when an object is not produced or is not available, and its worth is

highlighted or made aware to the discerning cognoscenti like the

members of this sacred group in public forums, there would be several

buyers but there is no supply. naturally, in such cases they become

collector's items and are affordable only by rich people.

 

one painting by vincent van gogh fetched more than 600 crore indian

rupees while any good painter can paint a replica for just one

hundred rupees.

 

while highlighting rarity part, there is an element of human invasion

too on the sealife which is why the production of pearls and conches

have become rare. before the seas and oceans are plotted and sold as

blocks for producing oil and gas, natural sea pearls used to be

available and many princely families of india wore an entire necklace

containing hundreds of such natural sea pearls, whereas today you

wont get a single natural pearl available for sale at 99 percent of

pearldealers in india.

 

you were surprised to hear few lakhs (less than one million rupees)

as exorbitant or very high, but let me inform you that there are many

discerning buyers searching for a nagamani ready to offer several

crores of rupees but there is not a single supplier anywhere in the

world.

 

hence kindly attribute price to the rarity and priceless nature of

the sacred object.

 

with best wishes and blessings

dear friends! seems to me that nobody managed to comprehend (except richard) mail I posted.. The issue of selling junk navaratnas goes far beyond materialistic point of view..Junk navaratna = disease & misfortune = bad karma, therefore anybody selling junk gemstones is actually providing a bad karma on himself as well as on person who is buying it. For what? For a few thousand rupees???? Problem is not in budget of the buyers, problem is in percption of the masses (and the jewlerers), because people's beliefs and convictions (about religion and politics)are in almost every case gotten at second hand and without examination from authorities who are not themselves examined the questions at issue,but have taken them at second hand from other non-exameners, this buissnes of selling junk navaratnas will go on as usual. This is really sad. "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance" A. Einstein (this one is for 'gemstone sellers') Now,this problem can't be solved with the same level of intelligence that created them, or in other words we can discuss this topic for ages,and nothing is going to change...Instead of giving a solution to this problem, people are getting frustrated on nationalistic level, and therefore they are prologing the issue of solving the problem, by blaming it on somebody else....nice one If you need Belgians, to dig up and polish indian diamonds, and sell them back to Indian people with certificate, than my conclusion is that Indian people are so divided between themselves that they rather than unite and tackle the problem, they are again and again doing the same mistake of blaming others for their misfortune (it was muslims, than british, bla bla bla)... ps. my question is..are we going to unite and try to solve this problem, or are we going to fight and divide because our egos have been hurt? take care best wishes & kind regards vjenceslavsacred-objects CC: panditarjun2004From: rashmihpatelDate: Mon, 3 Nov 2008 05:16:39 -0800Re: Re: Sri Navaratna - WHY DO HINDUS USE JUNK STONES???Dear Punditji,Please tell me where are this shops from foreigners for good diamonds??Do you know address or phone numbers or names of shop & citys.please as much as info you can give me.thanksrashmipanditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 >sacred-objects Sent: Monday, November 3, 2008 3:45:40 AM Re: Sri Navaratna - WHY DO HINDUS USE JUNK STONES???dear brother richardyour observations are correct that most gemstones sold in india are junk and on percentage level around 99 percent of the gemstones sold in india are junk.your observation of rich getting richer and poor getting poorer also draws a parallel of how a person who cannot afford a precious or semi precious gem just go for a similar lookalike coloured stone to satisfy himself that he too got a gem. poor people too can have great benefic results by doing zero expense remedies like fasting, recital of mantras, vratas and wearing inexpensive rudraksha.however, i request you to kindly reframe the word "hindu jewellers" with "gemsellers in india" or "indian gemsellers" because namecalling of hindu religious jewellers would hurt the sentiments of hindus.here, i also wish to highlight that more than a quarter of gemsellers in india are jains. there are many leading muslim gold and gemsellers all over the country. there are few parsi, sikh and very few christian gemsellers too in the country. so it is not just hindu jewellers who sell gems in india.recently the world's largest gold mining companies have set up their shops in india and they have started selling genuine precious diamonds. accordingly, a couple of belgium based leading diamond sellers too have opened shops in india and are selling genuine diamonds. except for these genuine diamonds, i have not seen any other foreign companies in india selling other precious stones.hence, it is apt to say that most indian gemsellers sell junk stones instead of calling hindu gemsellers.with best wishes and blessingspandit arjunwww.rudraksharemedy .comsacred-objects, "Richard Shaw Brown" <rsbj66 wrote:>> Yes!!!

About poorcheap bad quality junk stones and bogus pearls> Shastra has said (a fewexamples) :"Pure, flawless gems have auspicious> powers which can protect one fromdemons, snakes, poisons, diseases,> sinful reactions, and otherdangers, while flawed stones have the> opposite effect."GARUDA- PURANAM: Chapter 68, Verse 17 "A gem free from> all impurities and radiating its characteristicinter nal luster should> be looked upon as an escort of good luck.
