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.

Powerful Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

March 30, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Powerful Â Mars energies in new Lot Kanti for Gemstoneuniverse Patrons

Organic Red Corals from Italy for Mars Energies

Itâ€™s been a long time coming and we thank our dear patrons who waited so long and patiently to Get their Jyotish Quality Red Coral. Thank You for appreciating what we do!

Moving on there is a shortage of fine organic treatment free coral globally specially with the Japanese Coral which is no where to be found. We did examine manyÂ lots but either they were not Jyotish quality or were in a price band where the cost of procurement is close to the selling price of the Red Coral on the Gemstoneuniverse website.

For a Red Coral to be used as a Jyotish Gemstone The red Coral has to be:

1) Fully Natural and Organic. Precious Biogenic material.

2) Full treatment free with no fillers, wax or dye.

3) Should be free from flaws as listed in the sacred texts. For example one of the flaws is known as Duranga (literally translated having two shades of color). A duranga coral destroys wealth and property.

4) Should have an even pleasing surface and attractive color.

5) Created in the sea by marine polyp.

6) AND SHOULD NOT BE A CAMEL BONE OR PLASTIC. More about that here.

This Coral Lot fulfils all these criteria and is teeming with the Mars energies. Mars is the planet of health, vitality and courage and these essential elements are present in this lot. Aptly it has been christened- Kanti that means an inward flowing lustre.

These Corals are from the Mediterranean Sea off the course of Sardinia, these today are benchmark since the supply of the Japanese Red Coral is nearly non existent.

To understand that rarity of Organic Corals digest this fact- Coral Reefs live in just 0.1% of worldâ€™s ocean but they are the home of 25%Â of all marine species.
