Frequently asked question(Source:Ninegemstones)

Frequently asked question about Vedic Astrological Gemstone Jewelry. 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?
A7. If the quality of the gemstone is good, then you should see the differences within a month. You will notice the positive results. If you prefer a more economical gemstone, the results may take about 120 day to 180 days in order to notice significant changes.

Q8. How will I come to know my right Vedic gemstones?
A8. Here you are getting Vedic gemstone recommendations from Niranjan Mehta, a GIA certified gemologist, 15 generations of family background in gemology, and thousands of years of the Vedic Shastras’ golden knowledge.

You need to provide us with your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth to find out your real Vedic astrological gemstones. Also note, the chemistry of gemstones is equally important as is mentioned below:

• Some mines are 500 million years old and some mines are 2 billion years old. The age makes a big difference in the absorbing levels of cosmic energy. For example, the sweetness of a mango which ripened on the mango tree and the sweetness in a mango ripened artificially will taste differently. In the same manner, the energies of the gemstones will vary.
• Gemstones are the most powerful tools and is the essence of mother Earth. If you get energy from food, hydrate from water (both elements come from the Earth) then it follows that gemstones are the oldest and contain the purest concentrations of nourishment. Take advantage of these natural healers.
• Gemstone do not have to be beautiful in appearance THERE IS NOT A SINGLE NATURAL GEMSTONE IN THE WORLD WITHOUT A FLAW. And anyone who claims such will be corrected by purchasing a stronger microscope.

Please Note Vedic Gemstones also known as Jyotish Gemstones, Astrological Gemstones, Healing Gemstones, Holistic Gems, Navratna, Jyotish Gems, Planetary Gems, Birthstones.

Gem Stone

Gem Stone

This is a Sanskrit verse that was written 8,000 years ago. The expanded translation states, "Whatever is inside you is outside you. Whatever is outside you is within you." This means that the air, water, fire, earth, and cosmic energy outside you is within you. No scientist, atheist, or cynic will deny that he is made out of 75% water, he needs air every second, he needs to maintain a body temperature of 98.6° Fahrenheit, and he needs food from the Earth to survive. This food comes from the upper layer of the Earth. If we go further down into the Earth, you will find the roots which help us to survive. If we go down further into the Earth, then we discover the minerals which we need to survive. The most essential element of the above mentioned breakdown of the Earth is the concentrated form of energy or as is known by Vedic science, the essence of Earth...or gemstones.The right proportions of food, air, water, and heat give us life and energy. Similarly, the right gemstones will provide a harmonious and more improved life. You may say that you don't eat gemstones but you do eat food. Gemstones work the same way that lightening effects you, or how the Sun ray's give you Vitamin D, or how the sound of soothing music relaxes you. The aroma of onions will make you cry even though you don't touch them. Gemstone energy works on your mind. When the mind is balanced, you will make less mistakes and you will have more time, money, and energy to construct a better future. You may still argue as to how a piece of rock will help you. Take for example a knife made out of iron. However, when the doctor uses the knife with the right knowledge, that piece of iron becomes a life saving tool. Vedic Astrological Science is based on the physics of Nature and the chemistry of the Earth. Combining the five basic elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Cosmic Energy, you conclude at Vedic astrological gemstones. The more you harmonize with these energies, the better conductivity of success will develop within you and around you. Nature provides these elements, without which you cannot exist. Therefore Nature controls your every second. Furthermore, Nature inspires the mind, which in turn influences the body to act positively or negatively according to the harmony of cosmic energy and environment. Remember, we generate the right prescription based upon your own very unique birth place, date, and time of birth. Nature will not come knocking on your door to help you. You must take advantage of this light and put it to work for a better future.

Please Note Vedic Gemstones also known as Jyotish Gemstones, Astrological Gemstones, Healing Gemstones, Holistic Gems, Navratna, Jyotish Gems, Planetary Gems, Birthstones.

By wearing properly prescribed gemstones under proper supervision, you can benefit from the natural healing characteristics of Vedic astrological gemstones. We do not recommend these Vedic astrological gemstones to be applied in lieu of necessary medical attention. By no means is this information a self-help panacea. However, we do recommend the application of Vedic astrological gemstones in efforts to reduce discomfort in a natural and time-demanding situation. One must remember that we are not qualified medical experts. However, we have empirical evidence that utilizes the examination of your horoscope and family background for a prescription. Our 'dosages' are monitored and are based on the size and type of gemstones.The ancient scientific scriptures consistently mention the relationship between color, planets, and gemstones. With the almost sacred color stratification, ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), we see the correlation perfectly. The cosmic rays that manifest themselves in various wavelengths (colors) have unique affects on the health of our mind and body. The purest of the ROYGBIV rays resides concentrated in precious gems, and so, the gems are of great curative value.

Elemental Composition of the Human Body Diplomat, American Board of Pathology Posted St. Valentine's Day, 2000

What we are trying to illustrate here are the fundamentals of our human existence. If we were to mix the below mentioned amounts of elements into a doll, then would the doll come to life? Of course not! Then you must know that something else is affecting us, namely, prana (cosmic energy). The table below gives the amount of each chemical element found in the human body, from most to least abundant. For each element, there is the amount in mass units in an average (70-kilogram) person, the volume of the element, and the length of the side of a cube that would contain that amount of the pure element. Volumes of solid and liquid elements are based on density at or near room temperature (where available). For the gaseous elements (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine), I chose to use the density of each in the liquid state at the respective boiling point.

Raw data from which this table was made are from Emsley, John, The Elements, 3rd ed., Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1998. This is a great trove of information, which I highly recommend for anyone wishing to learn more about the elements. Notes Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth's crust and in the body. The body's 43 kilograms of oxygen is found mostly as a component of water, which makes up 70% of total body weight. Oxygen is also an integral component of all proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and fats. Rubidium is the most abundant element in the body (0.68 g) that has no known biological role (silicon, which is slightly more abundant, may or may not have a metabolic function). Vanadium is the body's least abundant element (0.11 mg) that has a known biologic role, followed by cobalt (3 mg), the latter being a constituent of vitamin B12. The last of the body's elements to be discovered was fluorine, by Moissan in 1886.

More color and elementary relevance The five Mahabhutas or Great Elements- The five great elements are Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. They are associated with cosmic colors : blue rays with ether, violet with air, red and yellow with fire, orange and indigo with water and green with earth. The five Tanmatras-The five Tanmatras and hence their respective organs have their links with the cosmic rays : Smell (nose) with green, touch (skin) with violet, taste (tongue) with orange, sight (eyes) with red, and sound (ears) with blue. The Tridosba- The color associations with Tridosha are: Blue and violet with vayu, red and yellow with pitta, and indigo and green with kapha. These three are respectively the forces of harmony, energy and inertia residing inherently in every living cell of the human as well as other bodies. Indigo and green are positive forces, red and yellow are negative, and blue and violet  are neutral. In fact, every creation is of the ROYGBIV rays and is enveloped by them. There is not a pin point of space in the Universe which is not occupied by these powerful rays. These rays are continuously and constantly surrounding every creation every moment of time throughout its existence.

Gem Stones

RUBY - Manik (for Sun) More Info	Manikya or Ruby, the rarest of gemstones, is a Red Sapphire and often regarded as the king of gems. Rubies vary in color and brighten in strong light. Some rubies are pinkish red or violet/purplish red in color, with different colors and shades of color often found in the same stone. Manikya or Ruby balances Surya (Sun). Surya represents the king of the solar system in Jyotish. It also represents Authority, Power, Self, Father, Body and Health. Depending on the placement of Surya in your birth chart, the wearing of a ruby may be very auspicious in strengthening the positive influences of Surya. Surya, the Sun acts like the thalamus in the human physiology. The Sun is the central focal point in the solar system as is the thalamus in our body. All activity in the solar system revolves around the Sun. In our physiology, all activity is controlled and ordered by the thalamus. Enlivening the positive influences of Surya strenghens the physiology and strengthens the qualities of Surya in our daily life.
BLUE SAPPHIRE - Neelam (for Saturn) More Info	Indraneela or Blue Sapphire is known for its striking lustre and color which range from light to very dark blue.

It's influences may be harmonized by the Blue Sapphire. Shani is furthest from the Sun. Shani or Saturn in the human physiology is expressed through the activities of the putamen. The putamen, like Shani in the solar system, is placed at the outer edge of the basal ganglia. It's influence, like Shani, is that of a servant. It receives major input and instructions that it transmits to the basal ganglia.
YELLOW SAPPHIRE - Topaz/Pushkaraj (for Jupiter) More Info	Pushparaga / Pukhraj or Yellow Sapphire is a lesser known gem in today's market. Known as Oriental Topaz until the mid-1800's Colors vary from light yellow to golden and honey yellow. They have considerable lustre, come in a variety of cuts and are increasing in market value.

Wearing a Pearl can bring harmony and stability to these influences. Chandra influences the Seasonal, Monthly and Daily Cycles and Rhythms in the physiology and our emotions. Chandra, the Moon, occupies a central role in the solar system and in our physiology. This influence is represented by the hypothalmus in our physiology which controls our behavior, our emotions, our hormonal and reproductive cycles and our body temperature. It nourishes the physiology like a mother or queen and occupies a central place in the centre of the brain with the thalmus.
RED CORAL - Moonga (for Mars) More Info	Vidruma / Moonga or Coral is an organic gem that comes from reefs and atolls. The most valued Coral is the noble red Coral seen here (Corallicum rubrum).
