Introduction
Stars are innumerable celestial bodies out of which a few (27) have been recognized by the ancient Maharshis as very highly important. Unlike the Sun and Moon, they are constellations. There are certain important planets (Guru, Kuja, Budha, Sukra and Sani), sub planets (Mandi,Gulika etc.) and Shadows (Rahu and Ketu), recognized as influencing the whole Solar system, space and the earth. All their effects or influences are not our concern, but only their effects particularly on the humanity of this earth and its evolutes are worth consideration.
Celestial planets are the centres of cosmic radiating forces of energy, which pass through space and the bodies therein offering least possible resistance; such cosmic radiation influence these bodies. One of such bodies is the Planet Earth. Life and its modus operandi get influenced by these radiations. The capacity to receive, absorb, modify and beneficiate / change / adapt depends on the bodies’ own potential (human, animal etc).
There are certain highly powerful centres (spots) on this earth having direct spatial connections to receive these radiations in full concentration yielding maximum ( +ve / -ve )effect.
Electro-magnetic and other cosmic radiations have tremendous capacity, strength and influence on the life in the earth.
Stones are natural geological formations in which some crystalline and non- crystallines have been recognized by the ancient Maharshis, as each representing specific star or planet. Likewise, specific plants and their roots are also said to represent certain Star constellations. They are said to have the capacity to receive the celestial radiations, retain and get enriched with the radiating charge.
Some non- stone materials occurring in the sea have also been recognized as representing the celestial planets. The influence of Stars and Planets on humanity was exhaustively studied by Maharshis and incorporated in Nakshatra Shastra (Astronomy) and Astrology.
Various ancient scriptures authoritatively enunciated the use of these stones and roots, as well as some plant products (nava dhanyas) for human welfare and warding off evil effects. Maharshis have accordingly advised their use and prescribed the procedure of refining them for application.
K.P. Astrology distinguishes itself, with wider scope of analyses, (together in conjunction with and), from the traditional – conventional astrological methods, for arriving at the astro effects, minutely. The general prescription only for Moon is followed without considering the location and influence of other planets in the horoscope. KP system provides keys for opening up the latent root causes, which have to be tackled rationally and not peripherally. The application of Stone power through which the cosmic power (light) passes in to human body from a certain physical pointand its resultant influence is the essence of Gemmology in its application.
Not only in India, but in the whole world, the faith, its application, the science behind it and the effects of these Stone applications have been thoroughly studied from time immemorial, generations together and Maharshis advocated many uses of them as remedies, too, which are well established.
This paper deals only with the salient points for the common man and not for the Connoisseur.
Star - Stone Power
The power of Light and Sound manifests in their wave lengths, scientifically.Sir Dr. C.V. Raman, Emeritus Scientist, Nobel Laureate proved three different energy patterns in the Diamond:
(i) Luminescence not inherent but contributed by luminescent impurity;
(ii) The presence of an unidentified impurity stimulates the emission of Light, even if the Gem is capable of luminescence; and
(iii) If the luminescence is inherent, its absence or extra ordinary variation in brightness and colour may arise due to the structure of the diamond.
The ancient Maharshis had amply appreciated long-long before this invention, (i) the law of electrolysis when Gems were used in a ring to gain or lose a
charged atom, for good or ill, depending on the astral body called a human, responding to planetary causation in consonance with the cosmic pattern at birth; and superstition in it. There is no blind faith.
Expression is a natural characteristic of Communication. Information, communication are natural features in the hoary past of mankind. Humans, animals, birds, deities and gods, have all been well accomplished with appropriate power of expression. How does a deaf and dumb person communicate? Through the mode of sign language. It is a part of Yoga, concentration and meditation. When script, language and other facilities were not there in primitive times, expression and communication were not absent. Vision and Signals were best used.
How ? What is the medium ? Nature has accomplished it. Apart from direct expressions, remote methods were applied. Meditation is another medium.
Prayer is the best of expressions. Intuition is the divine Star and allied super power transmitted to the human mind.
An individual’s expression (to the Almighty through nature, a kind of prayer, in which transmission of the thought) is carried through Light and Sound. Using Havis, by performing a Vedic Yagjna, through the Fire God, Agni, humans convey their thoughts of desires / prayers to the Gods. Using certain medium of transmission, like, wires for electricity, ether for wireless transmission, pipes for water and using Radio waves for Radio etc.
Maharshis believed that human feelings / prayers can also be transmitted for obtaining blessings through radiation and allied means by using the transmission power of stones and other materials. Thus, wearing of Stones, Gems, Precious and semi-precious ones came in to vogue from ancient times.
Prior to that, and even now stones are preferred to represent God and idols are made mostly in stone. Some shrubs and roots of plants in the earth also represent respective stars and planets. Nature has accomplished so many facilities not known to humans and only research brought forth many new sciences to light. Petrology, Gemology, Crystallography are the allied sciences to this concern.
The ancient Egypt, Greece, India, far east, Israel, Iraq, Jordan and Mexico have explored the original concepts of Man and God and their relationship,
“Man is a reflex of God.”
Astrology relies and rests for its inferences based on the multiple applications of Nakshatra Shastra (Astronomy, Mathematics, Geometry, etc.).
Jyotisham, the science of stars has emanated from the light of stars and planets. Knowledge of these planets is conducive to appreciate their aspects on life, grasping them as reflections of an object in a mirror. It is Jyotir Vedam, knowledge of the Light - Stars.
Fire contains fire, air and ether and air contains air and ether and ether is only one by itself. Celestial Star power can thus be appreciated to be very great.
Influence of Stars
Stars are far far away but exercise their influence on our lives in an unmistakable manner. The effects are felt by us when the Moon or planets pass over their specific horizons. The star of the day is determined by the position of the Moon in the Zodiac. Stars are classified Chromo analytically, by Maharshis, as Benefic and malefic. Functionally classified as Upward, Level and Downward in the Universe and typically as Ordinary, Kshirpa (quick), Daruna (hard), Mrudu (soft), Sthira (fixed), Ugra (fierce) and Moveable (mobile) respectively, by their functional uses.
We live in an ocean of invisible vibrations and radiations charged in the atmosphere. The waves and micro waves generated thereby act on humanity, particularly on the mind with positive and negative nature of charges, influencing biological and psychological features. (ref: BV Raman)
The human mind is a kind of Radio telescope. Man is a potential conductor of electrical - electro magnetic charge, in nature. This nature changes ever in tune with astronomical movements of stellar constellations and of the planets, rather the entire solar system. Human potential responds to them and tries to adapt to human nature. Yet, micro intrinsic changes take place in this process, and we experience those influences as constructive (positive) and detrimental (negative) moods, thereby thoughts, acts and human functions proceed.
Time and its minute contents, ie. the moments produce the effects in accordance with aforesaid nature of changes and human receptive – responsive capacities. In the macro state of affairs of Time, each moment (at micro state) is charged with the invisible potency, stationary only for that moment and then alters. Change is the property of nature. Therefore, Muhurtha, the moment when the favourably positive and constructive results are said to yield for human welfare is very important in life. (Wearing of the Gems do require muhurta).
It is not just the human that are subjected to changes, but all the constituents in the zone of the celestial bodies (earth, space and atmosphere) are subjected to changes.
Ruby, for example, is “ a kind of atomic spring which is coiled by pumping into radiant energy at an appropriate frequency [wave length], to be absorbed and stored up in the electronic energy levels and later
triggered off by incoming radiation, thus amplifying the energy input”.
( Ref.: Firsoff )
Stars are represented by Gems in the earth, scientifically evaluated by ancient Rishis. It is said, wearing really good Gems gives remarkable effects, undoubtedly. Gem is a power package of colours.
According to one’s horoscope, devise for amplifying or generating microwaves by selecting a Gem set in a ring made of five kinds of metal. The cells in the brain and the body can store up the required quantum of essential energy and as Gochara [time passes as per celestial Stars’ movements]
takes effect, there will be an amplifying process suppressing the negative or inimical cosmic power. (Planetary evil effects are warded off to some extent and the intensity of human suffering thereby reduced.)
Humans, animals, birds, plants and fish, in other words, whole Life on and in the earth is subject to radiation- heat, light and sound and therefore Gems could either help or hinder preservation or decay. Diamond acts on different people differently.
Non-Stones:
Pearl is not a natural Stone. It is an incrustation in the shell of certain oysters in the sea, usually white, lustrous and represent the Moon, astrologically. It is subject and sensitive to vibrations of the Lunar cycles. Human mind is susceptible to them and Pearl does wonders beneficial to humans, particularly women.
Coral is not a natural stone. It is a hard substance built up by marine polyps (sea organism of tube shaped bodies) believed to be an excretory deposit of sea weeds. Red in colour representing Mars.
(infections and afflictions) of touch by various persons, (by shake hands), in shop, home and else where.
The stones should be obtained, brought to home and worn only at positively charged time. That is, auspicious muhurta (time) favourable to the individual and star of the deity of stone, is essentially to be borne in mind in consultation with a learned astrologer, to derive full benefit.
The method of wearing the stone must be consulted in advance. i.e. part of the body (finger, neck) as a ring, pendant etc., and the material, Silver, Gold, Copper etc., the stone has to be embedded in.
It is always a good practice to visit to holy temples on the first day of Astrology gives the best clues in this regard.
Be well informed that getting deceived by jewellery shop employees that as per Navagrahas representing the standard list, Gems and stones are prescribed to the customers, asking their birth stars, is common. This is not the proper method of prescription. One has to astrologically get the
horoscope assessed for any adverse planetary features / doshas, its duration and consult a learned astrologer for remedial measures. There are two systems to be remembered: one is to nullify the evil effects of grahas and the second is to enhance the planetary strength, in the light of one’s horoscope. Various schools of opinions do exist on the wearing of the precious stones. Faith may be the primary thought but it is backed by established scientific truth and facts. A precious stone contains latent power to get charged by transmission – radiation etc., and on wearing it, it does further transmission in to the human body. In other words, the stone acts as an instrument / tool /catalyst of transmission between the human being and the Star, representing that adhishtana devata (deity) attributed to that stone. No one can see all this with naked eye nor get that transmission photographed / x-rayed. Many processes in nature are not susceptible to human tests.
