Gemstones are known to bring prosperity, peace and happiness. They also bring power, prosperity, name and fame. According to ancient scriptures “gems are powerful agents of energy which have direct influence on destiny and fate of humans”. They bring in positive energy and expel out negative energy. Tantra Shastra has stated human body as “an island made up of 9 gems”.
Each of the gem (nav-ratnas) corresponds to 9 dhatus which altogether form the human body.
These 9 gems (nav-ratnas) are divided into 2 groups:
In the precious group comes Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, Pearl and Blue-sapphire. Whereas, Cat's eye, Hessonite, Coral and Yellow-sapphire come in semi-precious gems.
Rules For Wearing Gemstones
- Before selecting any gem, it is necessary to consult a good astrologer or gem therapist.
- Each finger signifies a particular planet therefore, ring should be worn on the finger which is connected to the planet of that particular finger.
- Gems related to Sun, Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu are called solar gems and should be worn in left hand.
- Gems related to Mercury, Jupiter, Moon and Venus should be worn in right hand.
- The gem to be worn should be original and flawless.
- It is also important to wear the gemstones on right day at right time.
Procedure For Wearing Gemstone
Gemstones have magical powers. Before wearing any gemstone, some puja or ritual should be performed. It not only increases the benefic effects of the gemstones but also increases its power. These rituals release positive vibrations of the gemstones rapidly.
Every gemstone has some traits of a particular planet. Therefore, the puja or ritual must be performed on the particular day which is associated with that particular gemstone so as to increase its positivity. Metals also play a very important role when it comes to gemstones. Only the correct metal should be used for its corresponding gemstone. This helps in attaining maximum benefit from it.
