Significance of Akshaya Tritiya – Importance of Akshaya Tritiya

May 13, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Fortune With Natural Yellow Sapphire on Akshaya Tritiya

Greetings on the auspicious occasion of Akshaya Tritiya â€“ The third (thritiya tithi) day of the waxing lunar phase in the Hindu month of Vaishakh that promises to keep fortunes or positive endeavours made this day on an eternal growth path. It is a very auspicious day for new beginnings.

While there is much hype created around the day for buying gold and other assets, the day is generally a good one to start new initiatives. It is a day when Dharmaraj Yudhishthira, the eldest Pandava got the Akshaya Patra from Surya. Upon being exiled to the forest, Yudhishthira would face utter dejection sometimes as he would find himself unable to feed the people with him as well as the holy men, sages who would come by.

He performed some austerities that pleased Surya who blessed him and gave him the akshaya patra on akshaya tritiya â€“ a vessel that would provide unlimited food in the day. This would enable him to look after his people. There are many more tales and beliefs that are well known about this day. In Vedic astrology, all gemstones can be instrumental in bringing good fortune.

However, Jupiter or Brihaspati is regarded as the harbinger of good fortune and thus his gem, the yellow sapphire is highly valued.

Comments	Creative ideas can resolve any conundrum in the world. As they say, where there is a will there is a way. Gem therapy need not be restricted by the unavailability or inability to afford a specific natural gemstone. In the world of natural gemstones, prices increase exponentially with increase in size. And this is especially true for gems above two carats.

As the weight increases, so does the price for every decimal point! And if you are looking at jyotish gems that are at the apex of gem pyramid, the finesse and parameters of cut, color and clarity will increase the value to incredible levels! It’s a seller market. So in such a scenario, if you are looking at gem therapy with over 3.5-4 carats, there is a creative solution out.

A patron looking to do just that picked up two excellent jyotish quality natural yellow sapphires of 1.74 carats and 1.98 carats and set them in a single talisman which you can see in the photo as well as the video. Successful planetary gem therapy is singularly contingent upon correct recommendation as well as picking the right tool (read jyotish quality gemstones) to implement the same. Two separate gems of lesser weight will definitely cost lesser compared to a single heavyweight gem.

So you can stagger your gem therapy and do it affordably as well. Featured today are natural unheated yellow sapphires from Srilanka weighing 1.74 and 1.98 carats set in 22-carat gold as a Jupiter talisman ring. Both gems add up to nearly 4 carats of weight and are rich butter yellow in color.

Natural Yellow sapphire or pukhraj is the gemstone of Planet Jupiter / Brihaspati and is used to harness its benevolent energies.

Meditating on the Sacred Symbol of the Guru

April 12, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Meditating on the Sacred Symbol of the Guru

Symbol of Jupiter

Jupiter is the magnanimous planet â€“ the Guru. Also known as Brihaspati in Vedic Astrology, he signifies all things fortunate and auspicious. He is said to be Zeus, the famed father of Gods according to Greek mythology. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and his depiction in mythology has been of one with enormous strength, big build and authority. Jupiter symbolically represents expensiveness.

This does not just go on to signify size but also to expansive living â€“ wider horizons, broader perspective, not constrained by limits, much more freedom and surely a lot of wisdom and good fortune. The esoteric astrological symbol of Jupiter is presented below. It resembles the mathematical numeral 4 but is actually an amalgamation of a crescent and a cross.

Jupiter

Brihaspati in Hindu Mythology

Among sacred symbols, the crescent signifies the soul and the cross signifies the body that must bear the cross of matter and material form and desires. Jupiter as a planet gives the human form the most expensive, richest way of manifestation. It combines the utmost goal of the soul with a fulfilling, life enriched by fortune and wisdom and leads on to the ultimate path. It is instrumental in a large way in ensuring a blessed existence. It is a planet of plenty, ensuring oneâ€™s needs of all kinds are cared for!

Life when it has not taken shape is conscious, when takes birth is self conscious and once it sees the truth is super-conscious! And it is Jupiter and its grace that can direct as well as speed up the souls journey into merging with the super consciousness.

Meditating upon this symbol can be an uplifting experience and open up new vistas for an individual.

Guru and Ganesha – The Form of the Formless, Key to the Code

March 26, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Guru and Ganesha – The Form of the Formless, Key to the Code

16 petalled Natural Yellow Sapphire Chakra ring

The discipline of Vedic astrology has Lord Ganesha as its chief deity. Ganesha, the mystical elephant god, with the guileless form of a child, the complex symbolism that possibly holds the keys to unravelling life. The Cosmic Coder, who has scripted destinies and bestows the grace to read through the blueprint of life. The blueprint that is contained in the numbers and alphabets stringing themselves in a unique way for an individual in the triangles and quadrants of the birth chart.

The form of Ganesha is extremely symbolic. Among his features, the most notable is the huge elephant head resting on the portly body of a young boy. Ganesha has the head of the elephant (the vehicle of Jupiter), symbolizing extreme intelligence, wisdom and the ability to stay unperturbed by the obstacles. Ganeshaâ€™s head is also symbolic ofÂ the Pranava Om.

GANESHA courtesy Mokshasketches blogspot

Ganesha rules over the panch bhootas â€“ air, earth, water, ether and fire therefore his control over all life is absolute. The first offerings are therefore rightfully his. Ganesha is also known as Vighnaharta (the remover of obstacles). The divine powers of Jupiter symbolise the ability of charting oneâ€™s course with a level head despite difficulties.

All it takes is the keen observance of the habits and way of life of this gentle giant and one can take many life lessons, including method of keeping tremendous power, fearlessness and force nestled quietly and being able to carry it with quiet grace.

The story of Parvati (shakti) giving form to Ganesha and then him getting an elephant head after an enraged Shiva beheading him is not just a mythical tale.

It is also a cryptic code where Ganesha, the guardian of the mooladhara chakra (shakti in her rawest form), is annihilated by Shiva (crown chakra). The mooladhara can be harmonized when the impulsive energies of its guardian are internalized along with the wisdom, that is signified by the elephant head i.e Jupiter energies.

Mooladhara ChakraThat is when the Jupiter enables the rise of the Kundalini Shakti after the syncronization of chakras has been affected by imbibing of wisdom.

Be a Leader and Change Maker – Engaging the Sun for Leading Men

Be a Leader and Change Maker – Engaging the Sun for Leading Men

Natural Mozambique Ruby

There are power centers and they are the driving forces. They spearhead, they direct the design of things and they drive change. It takes courage to lead as it also makes one responsible.

There is usually a common thread that can be found where these leaders and change makers are concerned. And that is the contribution of a strong Sun in the natal chart. The Sun is the nurturer, the life giver! The Sun in a horoscope is regarded as the natural atmakaraka and determines one’s self-image, ability to transform thoughts into manifest reality, courage and strength to lead men. It is the doer, the Â primary influence at the soul level that influences choices and actions.

The Sun is king of the zodiac and his planetary energy spells all things regal, royal in bearing, dominant, the custodian, the ruler, the nourisher! His movement across the skies decides the course and routine of life too. Likewise, individuals with well placed Sun have the natural ability to guide and lead. The professions they choose generally have deep bearing on a multitude. They could be members of royalty, politicians, industrialists, bureaucrats, agriculturalists, doctors etc. The Sun is a natural malefic and has an intensity to it.

On the other hand, a weak or afflicted Sun can give self doubt and problems related to authority. It should be strengthened if it is a yogkaraka, by wearing a ruby so that one is able to make progress. Alternative remedies should be sought if it isn’t a yogkaraka.

The noted business icon Sunil Bharti Mittal synonymous with the telecom giant Airtel, wears a natural ruby.

Sunil Mittal wears a Ruby Sunil Bharti Mittal

There are many more individuals in leading positions who wear ruby or manikya stone, but that’s for later. The idea is that the power of a formidable natal Sun must be harnessed for greater good and there is nothing like a natural unheated ruby orÂ manikya stone that helps in doing it.

For the average Indian gemstones have much more meaning than being fancy baubles or prized possessions. The gemstones are highly symbolic of the planetary powers so they go beyond ornamental purposes and are used as a revered medium of bringing about a positive change in life.

Strange but true, when people of note are seen to wear planetary gems, the appeal increases and so does the curiosity. One can invariably see the rich and famous wearing some gemstone. One could look at it the other way round where the gemstone’s power has brought about the noteworthiness, fame and fortune.

Of late among the well-known Bollywood celebs, one can see a slimmer looking director – choreographer Farah Khan in the media. She has directed Om Shanti Om and choreographed many a hit numbers. She can be seen wearing a yellow sapphire in gold ring in the index finger of right hand.

Natural Yellow Sapphire from GemstoneuniverseThe energy of yellow sapphire takes one towards the path of action rather than procrastination. It shakes away all doubt and induces a strength of will. The energy of this gemstone has the frequency of prosperity and wealth. It’s an excellent stone for success in business. Yellow sapphire can help one overcome self-doubt and fear of failure.
