Gems have got relation with the planets and its use will help the individuals to get relief from health and other realted problems. Gems have always been regarded as bringers of wealth, peace and happiness. To wear a gem, is to add the energy of the planet related to the gem and if the planet is badly aspected it will only add to one’s problems. Hence it is always necessary to consult a gem therapist or a good astrologer before selecting a gem.
Ancient scriptures from across the world have praised gems as powerful agents of energy that influence human fate and destiny, induce good energy, good luck, prosperity and success in your lifeand expel the negative energy that produces sickness and suffering.
In Tantra Sara, a major tantrik scripture , the human body is stated to be an island of nine gems. These nine gems known as nav-ratnas correspond with the nine dhatus(ingredients) of which the human body is composed. The Tantra Sara gives a clear statement of their correspondence to the nav-ratnas, which is very helpful in understanding the relationship of gems with the human organism.Wearing these gems influences the dhatus and the psychophysical well-being.
The puranas present beautiful stories about the origin of gems and their relationship with the nine planets.The nav-ratna(nine gems) are divided into two groups:-Precious and Semi-precious.Diamond, pearl, Ruby, Blue-Sapphire and Emerald are precious gems whereas hessonite, yellow sapphire, cat’s eye and coral fall in the category of semi-precious gems. This division is based neither on the market value of the gems nor on their brilliance,lustre or durability but on their utility and their influence on the human psyche, body,chemistry and electro magnetic field. |
