Vedic Astrology Gemstones effect-Karthik Jayaram Kannada Movie Actor-Gemstoneuniverse

Vedic Astrology Gemstones effect-Karthik Jayaram Kannada Movie Actor-Gemstoneuniverse

 

Karthik Jayaram-Kannada Movie Actor speaks about how Vedic Gems-Blue Sapphire and Emerald delivered results for him. Gemstone Therapy works only with Jyotish Gemstones and results are for all to see.

Here is what Kollywood Today has to say for him:

It’s a season of techies picking the new-hat as an actor. Karthik, a Bangalore based model doesn’t seem to be exclusion. Yeah! His insatiable passion for films and acting has got hop-skipped into showbiz with a thriller film ‘Deadly 2’. This Kannada film features him in the role of a Don and he cannot stop singing praises of director Ravi Srivatsa for offering him a good start in spite of being a newcomer.

 

Karthik is not a newcomer, when it comes about facing the lens as he has already worked in few commercials. But he admits that there are lots of differentiations between these mediums. Sooner, he’ll be a part of Bollywood’s top-charting filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj’s film.

 

Let’s wish this hunk for a successful endeavor…

Scam Alert- Blatant Violations of Copyrights!

April 18, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse 5 Comments

Scam Alert- Blatant Violations of Copyrights!

Gemstoneuniverse.com-The-Gold-Standard-in-Planetary-Gemology

As with all else, there is the flipside of being on the World Wide Web and being the best at what you do, and that is the blatant disregard of ownership of / rights to content. Gemstoneuniverse provides patrons with not only top of the line products and services but also provides in-depth knowledge about everything that falls in the ambit of gem therapy and planetary gemology.

However it has come to our notice that there are sites such http://www.sriprasadbros.webs.com

, who have unscrupulously copied entire pages  copyrighted content, picture and what have you to their site. We would like you to know that gemstone universe operates out of the singular office premises at Bangalore in India. No other website/ person/ agent/ franchisee has the authorization or the rights to sell products using our name or on behalf of Gemstone Universe.

We shall not be responsible for any dealing made by people with such fraudulent parties. We request you to exercise caution and to let us know if you come across any such site/ individual, so that they can be brought to book. Gemstone Universe will take legal action against such violations.

It is a request to you dear patrons to help us fight such unethical elements. Knowledge of sacred Gemology is available to only a select few and application of it is even rarer. Do let us know if you find our content copied by others. This will go in a long way towards helping planetary gemology and keep unethical people for cheating others and more importantly prevent unethical people with no knowledge from hurting others.

Issued in Public Interest!

Updates on such scamsters will keep appearing here with date tags and notes:

Update 10th March 2014

https://www.facebook.com/udayan81

This indiviual just copies images copyrighted by Gemstoneuniverse that are certified intellectual property of Gemstoneuniverse, does a bad photoshop job by covering Gemstoneuniverse logo with ludicrous colours and posts on his facebook page as his own.

23rd April 2011

A gracious patron sent a link to another website which has copied our content. No contact details given on the website except for a online contact form:

http://www.indianrudraksha.com/gem-stones.html

Thank You dear Patron you have been an awesome resource for us and millions of others.

Update 29th June 2011

Today we received a link that goes a bit further than just a blatant violation of copyrights. Look at the blog link of an individual who goes by the Name Rishi Goldsmith:

http://www.researchut.com/site/node/134

This blog copies Guruji Shrii Arnav defining work Do Gems work- No they don’t for 90% of the people. A classic piece of work that has touched countless lives in a positive manner and led to profound changes in the lives of the people worldwide!

Leave alone the fact that he does not mention that this work does not belong to him he has put it as its own , he is happy go lucky in making Gem recommendations?

No it’s not weird or distasteful. It makes one shudder to think that what kind of Gem recommendation this individual would  actually be churning out with borrowed information with the only contribution being a paste job.

The horror stories wherein Gems lead to medical conditions happen because of such distasteful things. Put your own life at risk but not the lives of others.

Update on 22 December 2012
http://www.astrokavita.com/remedies-gemtherepy-typesofstone.html

The entire Gemstoneuniverse copyrighted content has been copied including the pictures

Be careful of such characters. They are abundant.

Thank You gracious patron!. You are a light worker!

Why each talisman may not find a place on the blog…

April 18, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Why each talisman may not find a place on the blog…

Gemstoneuniverse.com-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

 

We would like our patrons to know that many of the talismans made for patrons get talked about on our blog. It is a feature that is increasingly becoming popular with the patrons as well as the web visitors who get a lot of food for thought through these posts.

It is however, not possible for us to feature each and every talisman made for that itself would translate into a separate work area. And neither would the blog, remain a blog – it may become something of a digital catalogue! The whole idea of starting the blog has been to disseminate information about not only our work but to allow visitors to fathom the depth of knowledge around gem therapy. It’s just not possible for us to feature each and every talisman that we make.

It is therefore, only logical that the select few, that add value and variable information be featured on the blog. It is valuable for us – this pride, which patrons feel and communicate to us when the talisman they ordered is written about. But we also hope you do understand the constraint here.

Adequate time for Order Processing! Those in a Hurry Need to Read this resource first!

April 14, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse 5 Comments

Adequate time for Order Processing

Ensuring your satisfaction

Hurry, hurry and more hurry-That does not make us change the perfect process.

Gemstoneuniverse.com-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology Gemstoneuniverse.com-The Gold Standard in Planetary Gemology

A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never late. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected.

— Arnold Bennett

There is the big question of speed versus quality. In any work that has to do with precious high value gemstones and jewelry, there is one sure way to shoot oneself in the leg and that is to give precedence to speed over the quality of work delivered.

At Gemstoneuniverse, each and every piece of jewelry or talisman ordered by patrons is accorded importance from the word go. All specifications recommended to and desired by the customers are verified.

In cases where customers require specific design elements to be incorporated or avoided, specifications are cross checked yet again, to leave no room for ambiguity. The bench jeweler is consulted for the feasibility of the design. The wearer would definitely want durability & wearability along with the product measuring centum or thereabouts on aesthetic value. Since delivering maximum value to the patron is the primary aim, often times we discourage patrons from ordering certain designs or pieces of jewelry that may prove to be a bad decision later on.

Creating a fine and exclusive piece of Jewelry with a rare and precious gemstone requires time besides love, respect for the sacred knowledge of planetary gemology,creativity and attention to detail.

Creating an exquisite piece that you cherish over a lifetime requires time besides love, creativity and attention to detail. Creating an exquisite piece that you cherish over a lifetime requires time besides love, creativity and attention to detail.

The output of any process, product delivery or service is largely contingent upon the input. We at our end do hold the onus of a large portion of input. You as a discerning customer must understand the value you bring in towards the finished product by way of providing adequate and precise information and allowing adequate and optimum time for the process of gem setting, consecration and appraisal to be facilitated. Clear instructions, exact communication and that you know what you want, are facts that are appreciated.

Gemstone setting is an art and hurrying the process is compromising on the quality of workmanship and endangering the gemstone. Certain soft gemstones like emerald require great care as one single careless strike could fracture the stone rendering it useless for any purpose. Now that’s a lot of money gone down the drain! And more than the money effort and the sense of loss of losing a real gemstone! Melting the metal requires heat and delicate material like nacre which cannot withstand heat cannot be set and reset all the time!

Also, we at Gemstoneuniverse would like you to hold back your desire to buy if you are inordinately hurried (Please note what endears us to our patrons is our perfect process that delivers great value and lifetime buyback. We understand that some of you are in a real hurry but we shall not compromise on the process because of this. To read about the flawless process please click here.). This is the worst possible time to take a decision regarding a gemstone purchase. We would like you to place an order with the when you can give us adequate time (Please see the timelines given in the shipping section. You can access the same by clicking here. Till date there has not been one order that has not met this specification.

Another set of data that we would like to provide is that our average  turnaround time is 50% faster than any bench jeweler dealing with precious and rare gemstones throughout the world).

This enables us to ensure

–  that exact design specifications are met

–  that the gemstone in your talisman touches the skin

–  that your precious gemstone has been set securely

–  Gemstoneuniverse has an exceptional turnaround time but we would not want to deliver work that is even a notch below our strict standards of quality.

–  The factors like appropriate strikes, national holidays, and transport delays are not within our control. The product can be appraised by government authorities only on working days and sudden holiday announcements may throw your delivery schedule off track. It is only sensible to add a margin for any such exigencies and not have too tight a time period.

Our services have been appreciated and the brand has achieved recognition simply by the virtue of the fact that no element of the process is diluted and all instructions are adhered to. We would like you to know that despite all the checks, we would still have a better turnaround time that any offered by the fine jewelry houses like Tiffany’s, Bvlgari, Christian Bauer etc. which range anywhere between three to six weeks and our job is more complex since we deal in Jyotish Gemstones the pinnacle of all Gemstones. Our work does not just stop at making a beautiful piece; we have further work in getting certifications, appraisals and consecrating it.

Also, it is only in your interest to think out your requirements carefully. You will be able to avoid drawbacks where:

–  You may not have been able to explore options available

–  You may not have thought carefully about what is it that you truly want in terms of objectives desired out of a purchase

–  The design that you choose hurriedly may not seem so appropriate after a while

–  Gemstone purchases require significant investment on your part. You might want to spruce up your knowledge adequately before making the purchase. This is greatly helpful in ridding your own mind of the doubts. There are sources of doubt aplenty and may lead to doubt, primarily because they would like to peddle their ware rather than have you buy elsewhere.

We look forward to your intelligent purchase! Happy to help

So when the next time you call up and say you are in a Hurry, we would request you to access this resource first.

Spoiler Alert!

April 7, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

 

Spoiler Alert!


 

As a web based product /service providing organization Gemstoneuniverse has always been very- very conscientious and has remained above board in its dealing with every single individual it takes on in the capacity of a ‘client’. However, spoiler alert sounded for us the first time when an individual went beyond the limits of propriety and engaged in disappointing behaviour despite due procedures at our end, in fact it has been a service where we have stretched our self and gone beyond the call of duty to ensure customer satisfaction.

It made us sit back and wonder whether a slogan similar to caveat emptor has been devised for the sellers/ service providers. The organization has been very straight, moving with a very linear perspective about our responsibility to our clients/ customers. This particular event of bad client attitude left a bad taste in the mouth.

It is not so surprising anymore to see the number of results Google throws up when you key in the term ‘Bad client’. In fact there is an important piece of wisdom given at the outset – One of the best ways to maintain good relationships with clients is to avoid the bad clients in the first place.  There are several indicators mentioned that are characteristic to a ‘bad client’.

At Gemstone Universe we begin with a belief in the goodness and sincerity of individuals we interact with and it is very much a part of the core values and culture followed within this organization.

Our impeccable record is there for one and all to see through testimonials of the multitude of clients. Also the volumes would not manifest without dedicated work and quality controls in place. Gemstone Universe was awarded Excellence in Exports Award from the Jewellers Association at its 36th General Body Meeting. This award is given to companies for excellence in business practices, exceptional product quality and the sheer range of clientele worldwide, the company caters to! Need we say more? Every product that is shipped out of here passes through stringent checks and control points to get the necessary certification. Please click here to go through Gemstone Universe’s certification process.  It is this process that endears us to our clients worldwide.

Also there is such a great degree of transparency in our dealings that many products get a mention on the blog with its description, exact cost and the patron location. There’s practically nothing to hide. You could calculate our taxes if you kept tabs on our sales! Go for it.

We do believe that we do good work and it is definitely unsettling for our competitors and enough to stir up a fair amount of insecurity. There will always be someone hacking away at your roots if you are doing something worthwhile.

We do encounter bad eggs, who are just sniffing around for information. But much to their dismay, the technical, legal and technological arm at gemstone universe is sound and has systems and devices in place to ensure tracking of individuals with malicious intent and bring them to justice. Detailed records of all communication are maintained for reference.

Then there are also people who try to pose as buyers and are in turn looking for a kill by selling products further on auction websites. We would like to inform you that no third party has the rights to sell Gemstone Universe products. We have no franchisees or agents or dealer.

We remain committed to our mission and will continue to do our best. Meanwhile, do lie back tonight and give a thought to your duty as a client, beside your privileges…for once!

Cases where we reserve the right in not taking on an Individual as a client/patron

 

At Gemstoneuniverse and Astro Journey we are driven by values of excellence and service and not merely by sales. For the last decade our consultancy fee has been constant and is charged just to keep trash out of our inbox.

Today we are the only organization in the world that has maximum world class professionals – each one certified by the GIA-Gemological Institute of America.

For us every service or product that we provide is an opportunity to be, add value and contribute positively to an individual’s life and we take it very seriously.

Despite the sheer quantum of work we do, we ensure flawless products and services for flawless results and that’s why we are the Gold Standard and receive industry recognition and accolades from our clients worldwide. This can be viewed by the testimonials that we have on the website including the Video testimonials and the awards that we receive.

Testimonials

Awards

The sheer volume of work that we do and the results we deliver means that we have to optimize our time and the time of a professional is very valuable and limited. We have to give our best to our clients who have reposed faith in us.

GIA Conducts exclusive workshop at Gemstoneuniverse

In such a scenario, there are some cases where we feel that flaws can creep into our perfect process, which is unacceptable by our standards. These are some example cases below where the management committee decides not to accept an order. This decision is final and no further communication is encouraged in this regard.

Time reply rate to an e mail at our organization is a minimum 3 minutes average to a maximum 14 hours unless there are special cases that require more consideration, and these are personalized replies. To be able to do all this we would need to make a choice!

Some example cases wherein the order is not accepted:

You type in 1000 words for a question and a reply of 500 words is unacceptable.

(Well, the less said the better. There is a resource wherein we clearly explain about the quality of your question. This resource can be accessed by clicking here). Everybody communicates differently. If your benchmark is the word count program rather than quality of the communication you need to make a different choice).

Changing an active sentence to passive or direct to indirect again and again is not our style of communication. Verbose answers do not imply effective solution. Vedic astrology has very exact answers for specific questions. If you are looking for spiels or lengthy expositions, you should be looking out for a counselling session or discourses!

You Order a 1 question report and your question reads – Please tell me about my career for the next 10 years.

You forward our recommendation and report to several consultants without our permission, compromising on several important data that we would not like to be shared. Similarly you forward the recommendations of other consultants to us. We see this as a BIAS causing information that will surely shove objectivity required out of the window!

You order a report once and using the same report code you keep on asking fresh questions.

You order an entry level Emerald from the website wherein there is an accurate picture and the description reads 85% clarity levels and then you send a mail that reads: I just completed my order. I hope to receive my eye clean emerald very soon.

Most of your Astrology Information or Gemstone information is based on online research and you have no idea about Divisional charts or color/ tonal quality of the Gemstone and still would like to keep discussing your information.

In such cases, it becomes amply clear to the management that you do not understand what we exactly do and do not value the time of a professional.

In similar cases we will not take you on as a client/ patron.

This is to ensure that we provide flawless products and services that lead to flawless results and those who are genuine patrons get the maximum attention.

Much as we value your patronage, our value and dedication to our patrons and the value addition that we bring to the world of Planetary Gemology forces us to make this choice. We wish you well in life.

Gemstoneuniverse- Precious Gemstones for Precious People

 

Tektite Buddha – A fragment of the cosmos, chiseled to perfection

March 31, 2011 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Tektite Buddha – A fragment of the cosmos, chiseled to perfection

Tektite Buddha from Gemstoneuniverse museum of Collectibles and Rare Gems

 

 

Gemstone Universe has recently added a special spherical tektite or aakaashmani to its museum of collectible and rare gems. Along with it has been added, a finely fashioned serene Buddha out of the same tektite material. The tektite sphere is a beautifully engaging black in color and exudes an aura of mystery.

Tektites are of meteoric origin that formed upon the meteoric impact on the earth’s surface. The word tektite coming from the Greek word ‘tektos’, meaning molten. This material is basically a sparkly, glassy material that has a pitted and grooved surface and displays a rare scintilla when light is cast on it.

What makes the tektite interesting is the fact that unlike most gemstones that are formed deep within the earth, the tektite is formed upon the meteoric impact with the surface material of the earth. The high impact melts and molds this object and sends its spinning back into the space only to return and cool into these marvelously shaped tektites found in the earth’s four strewnfields (North American, Australasian, Ivory Coast and Central European).

The central European tektite is a lovely green in color and goes by the name of Moldavite. The Australasian tektite is usually dark and black in color. The shapes that they are found in resemble sphere, ovals, teardrops, dumbbells, discs etc.  The tektites are similar to glass and very, very close to obsidian, from which they can be differentiated with the help of certain tests only.

The particular tektite with us is an Indochinite of the Australasian strewnfield. This category of tektites is found in northern Thailand, which is also home to the rare phenomenon of meteoric showers. It is estimated that these pieces of solidified magma are nothing less than 700,000 years old.

Tektite-Aakashamani from Gemstoneuniverse museum of Collectibles and rare Gems Tektite-Aakashamani from Gemstoneuniverse museum of Collectibles and rare Gems

The tektite is one of the driest materials with bare minimum water content. Its rebound into space is the possible reason for the lack of moisture, which is accepted by the scientists.

The tektite holds a very special place in the world of healing. For the ancient Chinese, tektite was the Ink stone of the Thunder god. There are numerous talismans fashioned using tektites and they are believed to be greatly protective against evil eye. They have been worn by the ancients as talismans and jewelry as symbol of fertility and abundance also.

The absence of a complex inner structure facilitates fast movement of energy through this stone. The tektite is a stone that is believed to aid psychic abilities, increase the energy field of an individual and enhance telepathic communication. No wonder the aakaashmani can channel the aakaashic records for the diviner. So if you are one aiming to get a head start in your spiritual life, aakaashmani is what you can look to for help. Meditation with this particular stone is also enhances personal power. And what more to be desired if you are able to meditate with Buddha fashioned of this stone!
