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.

Identity Secured – Journey of a Natural Brazilian Emerald to the Realm of Precious

March 21, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Identity Secured – Journey of a Natural Brazilian Emerald to the Realm of Precious

Natural Brazilian Emerald

Of the many origins of the fascinating emeralds, Brazil finds a mention too. Infact, it is one of the world’s major producers of natural emerald, besides being the producer the largest varieties of colored gemstones in the world, nearly 90 in number! It is a vast nation with a rich tapestry of geographical factors that have contributed to its natural wealth.

The discovery of emeralds in Brazil though was a fairly late occurrence as recent as early 1960â€™s. Even then, it was a struggle for this gem to find recognition as a true precious gem as enjoyed by its peers from Colombia and Zambia.

In 1963, Jules Sauer, the renowned owner of Amsterdam Sauer and gem dealer, found beryl in Salininha in Brazil’s Bahia State. As far back in time as reckoning went, the world of gemstones knew and categorised “emerald” as green beryl colored by the trace element chromium. The problem arose because the Brazil Bahia emerald were colored by both vanadium and chromium more of its color coming from vanadium.

Jules Sauer

It was only when he submitted specimens to Gemological Institute of America (GIA) gem lab and obtained its identification and certification as precious emerald, did the world sit up and take notice of the Brazilian emerald. The Brazilian emerald is remarkable with its vivacious rich green color. In the good quality, brazil emerald it is easy to notice the innate glow of the gem, which adds a lot to its value.

Most of the Brazil emerald comes from the state gem state of Minas Gerias. The forms of mining vary from the almost primitive ways of men going down mining shafts in a leather harness, to the state of the art machines operating at the surface level. Most of the emerald occurs here in mica, biotite and talc schists.

Blue Sapphire Power | Most beautiful Gem in the world

March 19, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse Leave a Comment

Is Blue Sapphire the Most Beautiful Gemstone in the World?

Natural Blue Sapphire over 11 carats

What is rare?

Dictionary meaning would suggest that its something hard to find or come across – something one does not encounter everyday! Natural Gemstones have phenomenal value by virtue of rarity among several other factors.

That natural gemstones are rare, and that jyotish quality gemstones are extremely rare is an established fact. It takes processing of several tonnes of ore to obtain 1 carat of gem quality corundum. Gemstones are judged on basis of their cut, clarity and carat weight – the last of which is a desired but very rare attribute and over 10 carats makes it equally – extremely enticing as well as high value option.

Le Saphire Merveilleux

Size Matters Absolutely So in the World of Colored Gemstones. Natural Blue sapphire over 2 carats in weight and then jyotish quality will register an exponential increase in price. A natural blue sapphire sitting well on all jyotish quality parameters and over 5 carats would definitely interest a gem collector.

It is not everyday that you have a natural jyotish quality blue sapphire of the coveted Ceylonese origin and well over 11 carats coming your way! It is definitely a once in a blue moon event.

The blue sapphire is a much-fancied gem not just for its alluring color but because of the sheer number of myths and legends associated with it. One of the popular ones, being its association with purity, ethical conduct and truth. While this holds true even to this day, the shrewd manipulative minds of yesteryear’s have abused the association of mystical powers to achieve very personal ends.

For instance, one of the popular stories of times gone by is based on one of the famous sapphires of all times has been one that was in the collection of Duke of Orleans – a beautiful bright blue in daylight and would change color to amethyst tones in incandescent light. Madame de Genlis used the legend of the sapphire to used it as the central premise of her work “Le Saphire Merveilleux.”

Madame de Genlis

The sapphire (very possibly a color change sapphire in today’s parlance, just plain vanilla optical phenomenon!) is used as a test of female virtue, the change of color indicating unfaithfulness on the part of the wearer! If the owner of the stone wished to prove that the subject of the test was innocent, she was made to wear the sapphire for three hours of daylight; but in the opposite case, the test was so timed that it began in daylight and ended when the candles or lamps had been lighted (the predetermined objective having been achieved!).

What is in a Name – Just Make Sure You Get the Correct Gem

Natural Hessonite

There is so much than one can get confused with in the world of colored gemstones. Let alone the genuineness, there is a possibility that one can get really befuddled by several names a gem goes by! Usually a gem is given a fancy name to add to the romance or appeal.

Hessonite garnet is orange grossular that also goes by the name of Cinnamon stone. One may also get to hear the Hindi equivalent of gomed or gomedhaka or the Persian names of Zargun or Zarcunia.

The hessonite garnet is richly hued gem with a warmth to its appearance and glow of embers within. A good natural hessonite is all this and also displays a ‘roiled heat wave effect’ – a dreamy cognac in water like appearance or as if a heat wave is on within!

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.

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

February 28, 2013 by gemstoneuniverse 1 Comment

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals

Natural Zambian Emerald above 6 carats

Zambian emeralds are characterized by a rich emerald green color with a bluish tinge and the color is present to the core. Not so with the Colombian emeralds where color is concentrated towards the outer crystal and core is relatively clearer.

Emeralds have had a great metaphysical meaning for centuries. The gemstone is regarded to work on the supra physical aura first and then heal the malaise therefore raising the vibratory rate of the body.

It is also known as the gemstone of truth with great powers of revelation. It is believed that no trickery, conjuring, spells, magic are able to work upon the wearer of the emerald. After all, Mercury or Hermes himself is the ultimate trickster, who was able to pull wool over Apollo’s eyes! And with the power of Mercury himself, it is not possible to remain susceptible to anymore trickery.

Emerald is also believed to enhance the prophetic faculty or the ability to foresee future events what in common parlance may be termed as intuitive intelligence is actually strong Mercury working its power. It is a gem that enhances arts of divination, clairvoyance etc.

The color of emerald – green symbolizing life, rejuvenation, fertility and hope is coveted not just for its beauty but for all that it can do for the wearer. Mercury is the planet of communication and hence can give a person great facility with language, creative ways and enthralling through speech. It can give structured thinking and the required calmness to do so, to people who have very high entropy/ restlessness and tend to get bored very easily.

Emerald is the birthstone of the signs Gemini and Virgo, which are ruled by Mercury.
