Gemstones have long been thought to possess extraordinary astronomical abilities. The pseudoscientific usage of gemstones as alternatives in ancient therapeutic treatment has been shown by a number of independent research and excavations. It has been said that they can change the body’s aura, remove blocked energies, prevent negative energies from negatively effecting our lives, improve financial condition, and raise low confidence.

HOW ARE GEMSTONES APPLIED?

While certain gemstones are believed to be tiny pieces of meteorites and planets like Mars and Jupiter that collided and fell to Earth, the bulk of gemstones are known to have grown naturally under the crust and surface of the earth as metamorphic rock and crystal squeezed over time. These broken fragments, found to be crystalline minerals, are incredibly vibrational. After being polished and refined, gems of different colors are worn by people on earth. The energy they reflect from the sun are absorbed by the wearer’s skin, which eventually produces a balanced aura.

VEDIC POOJA: WHY ARE GEMSTONES NEEDED?.

Gemstones are cut and polished via several processes from the mine to the retail outlet to improve their appearance. During this process, gemstones travel thousands of kilometers, passing through numerous hands at once, and taking up the negative energy from their environment. The vibrations of the gemstones eventually run out as a result. Thus, to liberate the negative energy that can be trapped in the jewels, a simple cure called a Vedic puja is carried out. The purpose of doing basic pooja, Vedic puja, or prana pratishtha is to restore the energies of the gemstone so that they can work with their full zeal.

PUJA TYPE PERFORMED FOR ENERGIZATION OF GEMSTONE

Vaidik Puja streamlined into Basic Puja. When a merchant adds fresh products to their inventory for sale, it’s the customary practice of worshiping the almighty. The diamond is purified of the negative energy surrounding it using simple puja supplies. It is necessary for the worshiper to light a candle or Diya, recite a mantra, or sing Vedic hymns in honor of the gemstone’s natal planet. Basic Puja is a type of Nigama ritual in which the puja can be performed without the use of an idol or image.

VEDIC POOJA: This is a mid-level pooja where the natal planets are worshipped as gemstone personifications. A trained specialist must recite recommended sacred mantras to call upon the cosmic energies that are intended to enter the gemstone. The Taittiriya Upanishad, a well-known Vedic literature, depicts the deity’s symbolic descent into worldly forms. In order for the gemstones to harmonize with the wearer’s system, the procedure enhances the gemstones’ vital energies.

Why Perform Prana Pratishtha on Gemstones?

Each gemstone absorbs and radiates cosmic energy, but it also picks up negative vibrations during handling, transport, or exposure. The Prana Pratishtha ritual cleanses these energies, making the gemstone spiritually potent and ready to align with your personal aura. By performing this sacred ritual, the wearer can maximize the gemstone’s astrological and healing benefits.

TYPES OF PUJA PERFORMED FOR GEMSTONE ENERGIZATION

1. Basic Pooja   

A simple ritual performed to cleanse the gemstone of any negative energies it may have absorbed during handling or transport. This involves washing the gemstone with milk, water, and other purifying elements like Tulsi leaves to prepare it for wearing.

2. Vedic Pooja

A more elaborate ritual based on Vedic principles, involving the chanting of specific mantras related to the ruling planet of the gemstone. This pooja invokes divine blessings, aligning the gemstone with cosmic forces to enhance its astrological and healing powers.

WAYS TO DO A VEDIC PUJA?

WAYS TO DO A VEDIC PUJA

1. First step: Cleaning the precious stone: Pour some unboiled cow’s milk into a small pitcher, then top it off with Tulsi leaves, honey, Ganga Jal, and ghee (clarified butter). Now, carefully insert the gemstone into the liquid-filled receptacle.
2. Step 2: Rinsing the gemstone: Remove the gemstone from the vessel and clean it with a fresh piece of cloth after letting it sit for ten to twenty minutes. Preferably, use Ganga Jal water. Now, transfer the diamond to a spotless basin.
3. Step 3: Setting the gemstone for pooja: Arrange the diamond on a table adorned with sandalwood, incense sticks, and fresh flowers. Arrange your gemstones on the offering dish, covering it with a fresh cloth.
4. Step 4: Chanting Mantras: Complete the puja and 108 repetitions of the recommended mantra made of gemstones. Now that you have purchased a pendant, you can wear the gemstone on the recommended finger or around your neck, per the priest’s or astrologer’s advice.

PRANA BHAVAN

The phrase “Pratishtha,” which means “installed,” and “Prana,” which means “life force/breath/spirit,” allude to the process of imbuing the gemstone or vessel with the spirit of god. A more powerful type of Vedic puja called Prana Pratishtha involves chanting hymns and mantras in the name of the individual. According to Indian astrology, the ritual hymns are recited to call the deities and have them reside in the gemstones, which are nothing more than a particle of the natal planets.

Prana Pratishtha is usually administered by erudite priests who possess an in-depth knowledge of all four Vedas. In order to invoke the blessings of the deities of the ruling planets, the prana pratishtha puja is performed using sixteen customary rituals. The first ceremony involves requesting the deity with love and respect to invite their blessings and sending them back to their abode.

WHY DO WE DO PRANA PRATISHTHA IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY FOR GEMSTONES?

Gemstones are containers that hold more energy and power. By strengthening the magnetic field of gemstones through prana pratishtha, one can turn them into Yantras with unique therapeutic properties. In the end, these yantras assist their wearers in aligning their vibrations and amplifying their mediated states of mind. Uncharged or unenergised gemstones are just decorative.

Note: After doing prana pratishtha at home, gemstones require particular attention and maintenance.

During the Prana Prathishtha Pooja, what happens?

The mystical process known as Prana Pratistha has some explanation in the quantum physics notion of entanglement. The theory states that the phrase refers to the way in which energy particles interact with one another, independent of their perceptions of space, time, distance, states, and actions. The subtle divine force is infused into the dead matter by a massive collection of amazing spiritual chants. After the procedure is finished, matter and the divine merge into a single, unadulterated conduit of cosmic forces that flow in unison while remaining apart from intelligence.

• Date of Birth
• Place of Birth

WHICH FINGERS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR WORN GEMSTONES?

Vedic astrology states that as each finger represents a distinct character, jewels must be worn on designated fingers. Additionally, a person’s unique characteristics are strengthened when gemstones are worn on these particular fingers.

• Index Finger: A symbol for traits related to management, supervision, and leadership. Monarchs and kings often wore rings on this finger. Yellow sapphires are advised for leadership improvement.
• Middle Finger: Depicts balance and responsibility. Gemstones like blue sapphire, diamond, hessonite, and cat’s eye chrysoberyl can help find balance in life.
• Ring Finger: Associated with love, optimism, and peace. Coral and ruby are the suggested gemstones for this finger.
