Some Notes on Gemstones and Rudrakshas - Some Additional Insights

[Khoo Hock Leong]

Hi Learned Members

Here are the insights :

(1) According to BPHS, the 11th lord in Ascendant with 10th lord influence, conduces the person to wear gemstones. For the exact yoga, refer to BPHS under the section on the description of houses.

(2) Moon with Mars is a very auspicious influence as we all know as astrologers. So use white argate to get the best of the Moon+Mars combination. Better still, string it into something like a flower cuff and wear it on your wrist (white flowers come under the Moon and Rahu rules the hands, so putting this on would pacify a fierce Rahu as well). Tip it with amethyst to make it more powerful and some green stones as well.

(3) I bought some new books. Some of the points confirmed are :

(a) Men get better results by putting on jewelry. Women put on jewelry enhances their marriage including the husband longevity.

(b) All gemstones can be put on together. It is not in the Shastras that you cannot put on one gemstone with another just because they are ruled by planets which are enemies.

(c) All gemstones can be used regardless of your planets' health or maleficty or beneficience. The planet rays are dharmic from Vishnu, the Sun. But the dasa of the planet's gemstone you put on of course would be most effective. I tested out this too and is true.

(4) Diamonds and white sapphire are not directly substitutable to each other. White Sapphire gives effects of a different chakra from the diamond. Diamonds is more for the heart chakra but white sapphire is for the crown chakra (so include Venus, Uranus, Jupiter etc.). But coloured diamonds are stritcly Venus and in fact some of us do better with black diamonds than white diamonds. Like if you have Venus+Rahu in a Yogi Point of Pushya which is ruled by Saturn. Then black diamonds in fact is far more superior than clear diamonds. (Blue or black diamonds are synonymous).

(5) Malachite can keep a person very healthy. It solves a lot of ailments. Google it. It is also one of the secondary gemstones in the scriptures.

(6) The 2 face bead is as powerful as the 1 face bead in granting moksha. But if you want to go to Krishna Loka then use the 10 face bead - make it more powerful using the 19 face bead (Narayana's bead). And the 18 face bead alone is another alternative for moksha since Mother Earth was created from long time ago via a divine source.

The 16 face bead can give you Punya for 7 births since it belongs to Ram.

(7) Citrine is a stone where you must put on many, many......because it's energies multiply when it exist in great quantity. So buy a double necklace of citrine if possible - one with an upper and lower portion, connected via a clip.

(8) Shastras also do not recommend getting gemstones with insects, plants etc. Inside. So how about in the case of amber which if living creatures inside, help to stabilize and whittle down karma over time?

Make a prayer to Mother Earth or a universal prayer for peace and prosperity for everyone and all benefits would redound back to you.

I have seen people wearing a 9 stone ring. but the stone are really small. dont know how effective they are. but the second one is a sweeping statement. Anyone can vouch for the second statement (not all stones together) from personal experience? i do not have the courage to try the stone for say 6th or 8th lord.

Hi Kandan

Ok, regarding the 2nd statement................

It also works in the same principle that all stones can be used.....the navagraha ring.

The rays are dharmic....so all stones can be used together.....so both statements mentioned......planetary gems clashing with one another or planetary gems giving off maleficent rays..... are actually sidestepped.

The important thing is to not artificially treat the gems and choose good quality gemstones.

It must be admitted some bhavas are challenging houses. So if a planet gets a lordship of one of these houses and you put on its ring, of course the bhavas covering that area of life would re-surface more. But it would be in a more beneficial way to you because gems in general is covered by the 2nd bhava which supports your body....it is just like food.....eat wholesome food but some food need some acquired taste and different food gives different challenges to eat like chilli for those unaccumstomed to eat it they have tears in their eyes, but chillis are good for certain enzymes. But synthetic food is another question altogether.

Some foods may clash but there are degrees which are mentioned in the scriptures. Even vastu items (any small items is ruled by the 2nd). But scriptures do not mention about gems clashing. As each gem represent a planet and the 2nd bhava represent the details of the whole person that work together, the gems help us to co-ordinate better as a whole person, whether that area of life involve 6th house matters, a challenging house which deals with work, overcoming obstacles etc. or 5th house matters, a benefic house which deals with past life credits.

Food is also ruled by the 2nd bhava and we try to incorporate every food in our diet.

As such, sometimes it is better to wear all gems like the navagraha.....rather than say a single gem ruling a challenging house. Most people go for single gem that rule benefic houses because of financial constraints.

In fact actually the rudraksha faces follow a certain order......and it was acknowledged in one of the websites that scriptures would rather have us put on all the mukhis rudraksha together.

So pick and choose is not one of the main dicta of the scriptures for some remedial measures. You try everything or not at all.

Regarding the point about jewellery is better for men.....as Venus is the main karaka for life of the person (Jupiter is only secondary), thus women wearing jewellery would actually benefit their husbands more.

Also women's role is stressed more at home and if they are the breadwinner for certain families, certain Rudrakshas (and gems?) are also recommended for them. That was during ancient times....but as you know about spiritual matters....the precepts basic fundamentals never change.....but how it is applied in modern society changes.....so now with more women working......items like the 9 bead or 18 bead rudrakshas would be very good for them.

A typing error above.

For LADIES only, Venus is the main significator for life and secondarily only Jupiter. Hence their fortune is tied much to their spouse and since Venus is the specialised significator of high grade gems, ladies tend to put on a lot of expensive which benefit largely only their spouse, and only secondarily to themselves.

Jupiter which is the primary significator of life for men, and Jupiter being the karaka for the 2nd, guys tend to choose more appropriate gems for themselves, and they tend to benefit more from them.

Moon signify married ladies, rules the mind, and the Moon is the backup significator for the 2nd. We are all attracted to gems in some degree via our mind, but married ladies tend to be attracted to them more.
