Gems : myth & reality

In the classic works of astrology there is no mention of wearing gems as a remedy.

At places donating gems has been mentioned in order to propitiate planets, so have

been mentioned precious metals and every day objects like haldi, mustard oil, tiletc.

Gems have been considered, like many other objects, as receptors of the planetary

radiation. It is believed that the gems collect the radiating waves of a planet and

transfer it to the body. It is traditionally believed that a particular gem is more

efficient in collecting, absorbing and transferring to the body, these waves of a

particular planet, like yellow sapphire for Jupiter or coral for Mars and so on.

Therefore gems behave like the planets they represent. If a planet is malefic

in the kundali, the radiating waves collected by the gem will be malefic; and ifthe planet is a benefic the waves collected by the gem will be benefic.

A gem doesnt have the power to convert malefic waves into benefic or vice-

versa. Remember it is just a passive receptor, just like a dish antenna

collecting Radio/TV signals.

One should wear a gem of a planet that is a benefic for that kundali. One should not

wear a gem for a malefic planet. No one would want a gem to collect malefic waves

and be transferred to his body. Unfortunately most of the astrologers advise

wearing a gem for a malefic. If they find Saturn acting malefic they would advise towear blue sapphire; now that would make things worse rather than improve it.

Therefore a gem should be worn only for an anukool grah.. a planet which is

positive and a benefic for the kundali . A gem should not be worn for a

pratikool grah.. a planet which is hostile and a malefic for the kundali.

If a gem acts like an antenna dish collecting radiating waves, it should be very

finely tuned, or in other words it should be flawless. Therefore only a flawless gem

is worth using for astrological purposes. A flawed gem will distort the waves it

receives which might cause harm. A flawed gem might be good enough for a jewelrybut not for astrology.

Therefore an absolutely flawless amal {mal rahit} gem alone should be worn,

what ever the price. Remember a flawless gem is a rare thing and extremely

expensive.

A gem is just a piece of stone till it is energized and sanctified by a qualified

mantra shatra pundit. Not every one knows how to energize and sanctify a gem. It

is a rare knowledge, so rare that I have not come across any pundit who can really

do it.

Therefore a gem should be worn only after it has been sanctified andenergized by a competent mantra shastra pundit.

Now :

Is it worth wearing an expensive gem, with so many ifs and buts, when other

far less expensive alternatives are available in folk remedies?

Is it worth wearing some thing that doesnt find a mention in astrology

classics?

Is it worth wearing a gem for just 25% of the planetary impact? { read another
