Vedic Mantras : Activating your Gemstones

Frequently Asked Questions about Gemstones

Q1.What is the difference between Vedic Astrological Gemstones and others that we get at the neighborhood jewelers or malls?

A1. Vedic Shastras have recommended only nine gemstones which are: ruby, yellow sapphire, emerald, blue sapphire, diamond, coral, pearl, hessonite, and cat�s eye. They have emphasized to use them according to your Vedic birth horoscope, as not all gemstones are suitable for wear. In the same manner, we do not drink all sorts of water, like from the ocean. Instead, we only drink fresh water which is suitable to our internal system. Furthermore, we do not eat all foods from the earth. Nor do we breathe all forms of air (i.e. air from the mines). Where as, Vedic Astrological Gemstone are not ornamental, but remedial.

Q2. How can a piece of rock help me?

A2. When a doctor operates on us he uses needles or a knife. Technically, those are pieces of metal. The right knowledge can turn the rock into a great beneficial life saving element. The gemstone works as a conductor & booster of cosmic energy in the same way as a solar energy panel. The right gemstones will absorb required cosmic energy in order to balance your system. Your body cells constantly absorb these cosmic energies and the gemstones work as fertilizers & conductors for your cells and energies.

Q3.How does it work?

A3. If we were to analyze a part of a major decision, the results would show that wearing the right gemstone would balance your thinking. When our thinking is balanced, chances of making mistakes are less likely and more success is achieved. Prevention is better than the cure. All our decisions are based within our thalamus. The thalamus is influenced by the magnetic fields of planets, as per Vedic Shastras.

Q4. Why do I need to wear only prescribed gemstones and not others?

A4. Through your Vedic Horoscope, we will come to know that in your chart cosmic energy is more important to you. Nature's energy is synchronizing your elements, which is the reason you need to avoid conflict within yourself. It is like penicillin. For somebody, it can be life saving. At the same time, to another it can be poisonous. Furthermore, one spoon of sugar can boost an average person�s energy. However, it can be harmful to a diabetic.

Q5. Why can't I wear my birthstone?

A5.You can if it is stimulated or synthetic. It is not going to have any remedial value. But if is real, then you need to find out whether it is synchronizing with your neutrons. Otherwise, you are innocently creating an obstacle within yourself - which leads to more uninvited trouble.

Q6. What differences will I feel after wearing Vedic Astrological Gemstone?

A6. If the planetary configuration is well at the time of wearing the prescribed gemstone, then the following things would be noticed within your body and mind (according to your age and environment): improvement in sleep, positive attitude towards people, people will think more positively of you, less cynical reactions, more tolerance and calmness, improvement in relationship and family matters, improvement in materials and income, and acquire a better look and aura. Please note that if the planetary time is very bad then improvements will be slow and in a moderate level. Also your family members will notice this difference within you. The most important improvement will be in general health and feeling very good about yourself.

Q7. How long does it take to notice the differences?

Some believe that one should never take off an astrological stone. The belief is that if a gemstone is acting as protection, we are taking a risk if we take off the stone. It is good if one can wear one's gemstones as much as possible, but we feel one should be practical. Be prepared to take off metal jewelry when passing through an airport sensor, having an x-ray taken, or swimming in the ocean! We also suggest that one refrain from wearing your gemstones if there is a concern for security.

Can I use Laboratory made Gemstones?

"Synthetic gems" (man-made under laboratory- controlled conditions) are not for Astrological Gem Therapy. These are heat-treated and may at best have some therapeutic value in color therapy.

Q. Are synthetic gemstones equal to natural gemstones?

Science has worked for a long time to produce gemstones in the laboratory that are chemically equal to natural gemstones. One of the basic reasons behind this is the vastly reduced cost of the stones. There are currently being produced a number of synthetics, notably among them the diamond, emerald and ruby. The principal idea behind astrological gemstones is that their vibration is what helps us. The vibration is created by its chemical composition, its clarity, its cut, and just as important, the vibration from the earth it absorbed when it was created millions of years ago. This most important element is something that can not be created or duplicated in the laboratory. For that reason we feel that although synthetic gems are an inexpensive substitute, we encourage the use of natural gemstones.
