mud or that of soft soil turns into hard slabs. a large part of it is turned into Garnets. In the same way lime stones develop into marbles. Similarly, a slab of hard transferable carbon turns into a marvellous rock of Diamond from unbearable heat and limestone may get converted into Ruby if subjected to continuous heat and pressure,

It is estimated that it takes more than 7.000 years or more for a slab of coal to turn into a rock of diamond. All these precious jewels take thousands of years, Emerald taking about 7.000 to 8.000 years to be formed, the Yellow Sapphires some 6,000 years and mud and soft soil blocks more than 3,000 years to become Garnet blocks. This very Garnet may turn into Ruby if it gets heated for another thousand years or so.

Igneous rock: Their sources are underground pits, meteorites fallen from the sky and the lava following the eruption of volcanoes. These pieces cool down with the passage of time and become gems. Most of them get turned into powder but the remaining ones become real gems.

Sedimentary rock: These rocks are formed when animals, creatures, trees, plants, logs, etc gradually drift down the earth's strata and are affected by nature's changing seasons and onslaughts and ultimately turn into hard rocks; some of them turn into jewels and gems. They are light, smooth and glowing. Tourmalines, Opals, Cat's Eye. Moon Stones, Peridots and Lapis Lajulis are made thus.

Besides mines, seas also provide us jewels. In fact gems were in existence even before man was bom. But in today's world, gems and jewels are being made artificially. But most of them are meant only for decoration. They do not have the efficacy to nullify the evil effect of planets or remove illness. In Mumbia and Panna district of Madhya Pradesh (in India), there have developed many industries which are engaged in cutting and polishing diamonds and other precious stones.

Particularly mines of Quartz and Garnet are found almost in

every country of the world. It is the general belief that gem

mines existed even before human beings took form. These

are actually precious stones which influence the destiny of

the user. Ofcourse this theory exists only in the East. For the

West gems are articles only to be used for adoration.

There are some precious stones like Diamond and Emerald

special heat pressure and geological standard.

What colours signify?

Although it sounds unbelievable, yet colours and numbers have close relations with each other. They are complementary to each other. A correct combination of the two can bring about peace, prosperity and happiness to the wearer. Men and women often experience that they are happy and peaceful in a particular environment. Similarly their moods are influenced by the colour of walls of rooms and the colour of furniture. Generally light colours bring about peace to mind and are helpful in giving us sound sleep while dark colours cause unnecessary tension and a disturbed sleep.

It was because of close relations between the two that ancient saints insisted on the use of particular colours and right types of gems. In modern times, too, numerology attaches major significance to numbers. In astro-numerology different solar signs have been allocated certain colours and numbers.

We will discuss in brief here some salient features of some of the main colours.

White: This colour signifies purity and ambition, a pure mind with authority. Those who wear this colour are systematic in work, prefer to be perfect, active and eager to complete the work on time.

Finally persons born between December 15 and January 15 arc ruled by the planet Jupiter. The gemstones for them are Yellow Sapphire or Yellow Jasper or Yellow Tourmaline.

The science of numerology says that each letter represents some value.

Yet another method to determine the suitability of a particular gemstone is based on the value of each letter. For finding out the exact day in any month whose vibrations will be favourable, one has to work out the occult number produced by the letters of the name. This process is ancient and based on Chaldean and Hebrew alphabet. In this the total value of all the letters is added to form a single digit.

Each letter has a value as mentioned below:

A=1 G = 3 N = 5 T=4

B=2 H = 5 O = 7 V = 6

C = 3 I and J =1 P=8 W = 6

D = 4 K = 2 Q = 1 X=5

E=5 L=3 R = 2 Y=1

F=8 M = 4 S = 3

andZ = 7

To give an example, suppose the name of a person is George Lloyd. The total value of each letter will be as follows

357235 = 25 | 25 + 18 = 43=4 + 3 = 7

33714 = 18

Therefore, he should wear a stone for ‘7’ number.

Consecration before wearing stones

It is by now well known that a particular gemstone is worn on a particular day and at a particular time. That is not all. Certain rituals have got to be gone through to 'awaken' the power of the planet which rules the gemstone. This is done to make it give off its vibrations or emanations from its material body in a faster manner. Besides the particular days, metals in which the stone is set is equally important as they are related to the planets and the stars.

Let us discuss the process one by one:

Ruby: The rituals for wearing Ruby should be carried out on a Sunday during the transit when sun is in Aries or Leo between 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. or 12 noon and 1 p.m.

Collect wheat, dhoop sticks, yellow flowers, a piece of red silk cloth and 'prasad¹ made of wheat. Wash the ring in water, apply sandal and place it on the red cloth. Bum dhoop sticks and offer yellow flowers and 'prasad' to the ring reciting 'mantra' for the Sun which is the king of the planets. Persons bom in the months of July and/or on a Sunday or on the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th day of any month are benefitted greatly if they put Ruby on their person.

The gem must be bought only on a Sunday and kept wrapped up in a cloth for a week. If nothing untoward happens

Consecrating before wearing stones

101 during the period, then it should be worn next Sunday after consecrating.

The ritual for wearing on a Ruby should be during the auspicious moments of Ravipushya which happens once in a constellation year or during a Pushya Star constellation or on a Sunday.

The stone is no doubt very expensive and if one cannot purchase it, then he should tic around the arm on a Sunday the roots of Vilva Vriksha after washing them with pure water or milk and wrapping them in a piece of pink thread.

Mantra for invoking the Sun:

Udayang thang mahateja tejasyee ubhayapradahal doomirakshasugamanag Sooryam avahavyamham.

Recite the above mentioned 'mantra' 108 times

or Ashwa Dwaiaaya Vidhmahe Paasha Hasthaaya Dheemahi Tanno Surya Prachodayath

Pearl(Mukta, Shashiratna, Chandraratna, or Shashipriya):

Moon is the king of the constellation and its gem is white Pearl. Like moon, Pearl too gives peace of mind and contentment.

Natives born in June or on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, or 29th of any month should wear it to have a successful life.

The rituals for wearing Pearl should be done on Monday. It should be purchased also on a Monday and kept wrapped in a white silk cloth till the next Monday. The consecration process should be carried out during Pushya constellation, Sompushya or during amritasiddhi yoga on a Monday (Chandra Hora) between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. or 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.

If Pearl is not available, a piece of Kirni tree stem can be tied in a white thread and worn around the neck.

Have one plate, rice, curd, Jasmine flowers, a 'kalash', photo of Shankar and Parvati and 'prasad'.

Pour curd in the 'kalash' and place the ring in it. 'Kalash' should be adorned with sandal, turmeric. Spread rice in it, close the lid of the 'kalash' with a plate and place the photo on it. Do 'archana' of Parvati with Jasmine flowers. Thereafter do 'archana' of Moon with rice. The 'prasad' should be 'milk kheer'. Put on the ring and offer milk and sugar Sandy to the poor.

Influence of planets

Sunday is ruled by Sun, Monday by Moon, Tuesday by Mars, Wednesday by Mercury, Thursday by Jupiter, Friday by Venus and Saturday by Saturn.

The planet which rales the day has its sway only in the first hour after sun rise and the succeeding hours of day are ruled by the other planets in the following order: (1) Sun, (2) Venus, (3) Mercury, (4) Moon, (5) Saturn, (6) Jupiter and (7) Mars.

It is said that good and evil forces are embedded in the womb of time. There is a good time to sow and a good time to reap. This is the main point for consideration. Otherwise evil influences will mar or destroy all your projects. The Moon thus plays a vital role in fixing auspicious times and her transits on auspicious places. As the Moon governs the mind and mental structure, her transits to malefic houses and over malefic planets will naturally disturb one's mind and thus affect projects. A waning Moon is unfavourable for starting any good project. Avoid doing any good work when the Moon is almost obscure. Nothing should be attempted when the Moon is in conjunction with the Sun. as that position causes all projects to fail. But black magicians or sorcerers prefer to perform tiieir activitites only when the Moon is on the wane. Waning Moon favours their activities as they always try to do evil. A waxing Moon is always favourable for doing any good work.

Some astrologers opine that planetary spirits can be summoned or planetary influences can be attracted by the use of 'images' which are real or mentally created to express the planet's nature. The most popular image of the Sun is drawn by a highly spirited man driving a chariot drawn by seven horses. These seven horses represent the seven prime colours of the solar spectrum, i.e. VIBGYOR. The image of the Moon is depicted by a fine young man driving a chariot drawn by

five horses. These five horses represent our five senses. Though the Moon is called the queen of the universe, no picture of her in the capacity of the queen of the universe is available from our ancient scripts. The image of Mercury is depicted by a spirited young man with four hands sitting on the back of a lion and so on. It is said that by concentrating one's attention on the popular images of the planets, one can capture and tap the magical influences of the planets in removing suffering. This can be done also by meditating on the images of the planets.

No auspicious work should be undertaken when Mars is in the 8th house or Venus in the 6th as these positions arc highly injurious. This is especially effective in case of fixing marriage time. Mars and Rahu are too evil when in 2nd. 8th and 9th houses from the Moon sign during gochara movement. So no auspicious work should be undertaken during that period.

People sometimes become ill or depressed due to overwork and this is because of the fact that 'thought and study' belong to Saturn who rules the melancholy temperament and is antagonistic to the vital forces of life and youth. Overworked students, patients and elderly people whose vital forces are on the wane should try to lure powerful influences from the favourable planets-Jupiter, Venus and Mars. This can be done by wearing gems for them.

To gain health and happiness, for instance, an image of Venus-a picture of a beautiful young girl dressed in white or yellow and holding flowers and apples-may be kept in one's bedroom. You can bring down her magical influence even by meditating on it every morning. But the best way to get planetary blessings is, to meditate on the image of goddess Durga (Mahamaya) and to offer prayers to her. Prayer is the greatest power available to the individual in solving his/her personal problems. A sincere prayer is unfailing in its effects.

Evil houses

The house 6lh, 8th, 12th are called evil houses or dusthanas. Planets posited therein are weakened and lose their power and strength considerably. Venus in the 6th and 8th becomes too weak and makes the native also feeble and weak. If the native does not wear white coral he can’t proceed. The Moon in the 6th and 8th becomes dangerously evil. If you do not wear white pearl, you can’t move. Mercury also becomes too weak when posited in 6th, 8th, 12th house and requires to be strengthened.

Therapeutic use of gems

The negative impact of cosmic rays of cach planet affect lives on earth adversely. If some planets are placed at the birth time in horoscope negatively, they produce adverse effect. By wearing gemstones belonging to those planets the malefic rays coining from those planets get filtered and thus their effect is nullified.

We discuss below some important diseases and the gems to cure them:

Acidosis

It is a condition of over-acidity resulting from abnormal and excessive production of acid in the body, often accompanied by poor elimination. The most common symptoms of this ailment are rapid breathing, headache, debility and a characteristic sweetish odour to the breath. This condition occurs in advanced diabetes or prolonged diarrhoea, in which the body loses sodium bicarbonate. Patients with severe acidosis may gasp for breath, go into a coma and even die. This is because the carbon dioxide content of the blood regulates the breathing process. When Jupiter is afflicted at birth-chart by Saturn, Ketu or Venus or the Moon at Cancer or Virgo, this disease appears. Jupiter is the main planet as it controls the liver.

Wear Emerald ring in 5 rattis on middle finger and Yellow Sapphire in 5 rattis on ring finger.

Therapeutic use of gems 131 Moon Stone in 6 rattis on small finger may be used as additional gem in acute cases.

Accidents Combination of Rahu and Mars in the ascendant or 2nd house causes frequent accidents and injuries. Saturn on ascendant causes injuries through falls. Mars on the ascendant causes cuts and injuries to the head and bloodshed. Mars afflicting the luminaries by square or opposition is a sure sign of danger of accidents.

Mars or Saturn in the 3rd house causes accidents by rail or road or during short travels and if it is in the 51h house, at pleasure parties. Red Coral or white Pearl has the power to avert accidents.

Acne This is a skin disorder. Eruption of pimples is known as Acne. Seborrhea affects the nose, checks, forehead, chin and sometimes even eye. Older people are common victims of this disease. It appears when Venus or Ketu is heavily afflicted in Aries, Libra or Capricorn. Use white Coral in 7 to 9 rattis on mahyama along with Lapis Lazuli in 2 rattis on kanistha.

Allergy Certain foods which produce excessive heat in the system, produce allergy if taken by those who have Mars in any one of the houses mentioned above. The best remedy for this type of disease is to use cold stones like lime Moonstone, Yellow Sapphire, Blue Sapphire and Emerald to make the body cool. The parts of the body in which allergic reactions most often show up are the skin, bronchial tree, nose and digestive system. Common allergic disorders arc hives (urticaria), eczema, hay fever, drug rashes, bronchial asthma and headache. Some allergies arc apparently hereditary and others are acquired. Even minute quantities of an allergen can set off a violent reaction.

Mars

Red Coral in 7 to 9 rattis on anamika of the right hand or a copper ring, red thread or red cloth around the right hand.

words. Morbid changes in brain tissues are usually responsible for this condition. The most common cause is when the Sun is afflicted by Mercury in Aries or when Mercury is afflicted by the Sun in Aries. Use Red Coral in 7 to 9 rattis and Emerald in 6 rattis, jointly.

Anemia

When there is sharp reduction in the number of red corpuscles or of red colouring matter in the blood, the condition is commonly known as anemia. It is usually caused by loss of blood through haemorrhage or due to disease or damage in the bonemarrow. When the Sun is afflicted by Saturn, this condition appears. Also when Rahu or Ketu is in Taurus, Leo or Aquarius, or when Jupiter is afflicted by Mars in Leo, anemia appears. Use Red Coral in 7 to 9 rattis and Yellow Sapphire in 5 rattis.

Apoplexy

The rupture of a blood-vessel in the brain is commonly known as apoplexy or stroke. It is also known as cerebral haemorrhage or cerebro-vascular accident It is usually marked by unconsciousness followed by paralysis. The Sun ill- aspected by Jupiter or Rahu in Aries gives rise to apoplexy. The sign Aries is of the head and brain. So any affliction of this sign causes apoplexy. When Jupiter is afflicted by malefics in Aries, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius or Leo. this disease manifests itself. Use Red Coral in 7 to 9 rattis and Yellow Sapphire in 5 rattis.

Appendicitis

It is the swelling or inflammation of the wormshaped appendix, a small finger like projection from the large bowel. It indicates severe pain in the belly. The basic treatment for appendicitis is surgery, i.e. removal of the diseased appendix. Mars is the chief causative planet for appendicitis. Mars, if

Burns

It may result from the application of too much heat or fire to the skin. Scalds are caused by hot liquids or vapours. Any extensive burns covering a large area are serious. Shock and infection dangerously accompany large or deep burns. Mars is the chief planet for causing all sorts of wounds, cuts and accidents, when heavily afflicted by Saturn or Rahu in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 8th houses. The combination of Mars and Rahu in the 3rd house causes burns or accidents while travelling, in the 5th house in cinema or pleasure parties, in the 4th at home, and in the 9th while proceeding on a long journey. Wearing of Red Coral in 9 rattis helps quick healing. Red cloth or a red thread may also be used for speedy recovery.

Cancer

Actually cancer is characterised by the abnormal, uncontrolled and lawless growth of body cells. There are many planetary combinations which cause cancer in the human body. If the moon is afflicted by the three malefics in any sign, the native may be attacked with cancer. 'if evil relationship exists between Jupiter and Saturn in a birth-chart, the native may have an attack of cancer. Conjunction of Saturn, Ketu and Jupiter in any sign may develop cancer. Conjunction of Jupiter, Ketu and Venus in any sign may also cause cancer. Mars if posited in the 6th and in dual signs may produce cancer. Ketu is called the shadowy planet of chaos and confusion. Ketu gives all sorts of mysterious, complicated and chronic diseases. If Ketu afflicts the Moon along with some other malefics, the native may have cancer. This is the

The rape utic use of gems

161 occurs when Mars during transit aspects the Moon-sign which is quite enough to excite the flow. Both delivery of the child and menstrual flow are controlled by the Moon. The moon is all-in-all in a female horoscope. She governs the breasts, stomach, mind, mental structure, reproductive and sex organs. marriage relationship, conjugal happiness and child's health. So a single gem, White Pearl in 10/12 rattis, is sufficient to give sound health. In case of profuse bleeding, use Red Coral. as an additional gem.

Mental illness

Mental illness means temporary distortions of mental faculties such as memory and power of concentration. It docs not mean real and permanent deterioration of the intellect. Mental illness is not mental deficiency but temporary dislocation of mental faculties and losing one's grip. Many people who suffer from mental illness are far above normal in intelligence. The Moon, Mercury and Saturn are the three main rulers. The 3rd and 9th houses from the ascendant are the mental signs. The signs Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius also rule over our mind and mental structure. Any affliction of these signs and houses by malefics will give rise to mental disturbances. Even simple association of Saturn or Rahu with the Moon causes mental ailments. When Mars afflicts the Sun or Mercury in Gemini or Virgo, the native will invariably suffer from lunacy. Use Emerald, Moonstone and Yellow Sapphire. Red Coral may be required in acute cases.

Paralysis

It is loss of muscle function usually due to damage to the nerves that control the muscles. The impairment of function may be minor or extreme; temporary or permanent. It is usually caused by a stroke, polio, paralysis, muscular distrophy, etc. Here the chief planets are Mercury who governs the nerves and Saturn, which causes paralysis.
