Guest guest Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Chandra Mani, Yellow is also associated with Jupiter (the Guru planet), guru to the Gods, and one of the rulers of wealth. Jupiter's primary gemstone is the yellow sapphire, although acceptable substitutes are Imperial Topaz, yellow quartz, and golden beryl. I wonder if Canary diamonds are acceptable? Lakshmi is the goddess who rules over Venus (guru to the demons). Venus also rules wealth. The primary gemstone is white or colorless diamond, white sapphire, or white quartz. I'm sure white topaz & zircon are acceptable. Associated with multi-colors (the fire in the white diamond?). The old Lakshmi puja altar (since remodeled) in the SY ashram in South Fallsburg was dominated by white with gold accents. Anything in Siddha Yoga is of the best quality: opulent & costly. Tremendous emphasis on wealth.
