The goddess Chandraghanta derives her name as she has a crescent moon (Chandra) shaped bell adorning her forehead. Aside of being an ornament, the sound of this bell (ghanta) is believed to fill the evil creatures with dread, as she readies herself and advances to vanquish them. Goddess Chandraghanta is depicted as a radiant beauty with golden aura. She is shown having ten arms and three eyes, riding a lion who symbolizes upholding of â€˜dharmaâ€™ with a fierce passion.

Manipura chakra

Out of her ten hands, she holds different weapons in eight, one hand is in the abhaya mudra and the other one is wish granting, boon giving pose. This is the day when the meditation is centred on the Manipur Chakra or the Solar plexus. Manipur literally means the â€œcity of gemsâ€. In this meditation, you have the potential to discover the richness inherent within your being. The core of the chakra is a fiery triangle contained within the centre if a dashdalpadma or the 10 petalled lotus with dark blue petals.

Spiritus Sienna 12 â€“ New Lot of Srilankan Hessonite Garnet

Spiritus Sienna 12 – Natural fine Srilankan Hessonite Garnet

In keeping with the Gemstoneuniverse tradition of bringing you only the finest of jyotish gemstones, (Planetary Gems) â€“ we present the new lot of Hessonite garnet â€“ Spiritus Sienna 12â€“ finest Sri Lankan Hessonite.

Hessonite is a variety of Grossular Garnet â€“ it is basically a Silicate of Calcium and Aluminum. It gets its orangy brown color from the trace elements of iron and/ or manganese. The name Grossular is said to have originated due to the resemblance of the crystal to gooseberries, for which the Latin word is Grossularia.

Hessonite is produced fairly abundantly (this comparison is strictly vis-Ã -vis natureâ€™s production of other gemstones only!) in nature.

But the finest color â€“ uniformly spread and having good clarity comes from Sri Lanka.

When you look to Gemstoneuniverse to buy your jyotish gemstone, you can be sure that each gemstone is handpicked and is devoid of any flaws that could potentially bring you harm. The Vedic texts or the shastras mention 14 doshas or flaws that should not be there in a Gomed/ Hessonite garnet, if it is to be used for planetary gem therapy.

For instance, shastras specify that the hessonite should NOT have any red dots in it. A red dot on a hessonite forebodes ill for the progeny / children of the wearer!

And this is just one of the flaws! Each gem at Gemstoneuniverse is assessed critically for any flaw and made available for patrons only once it has passed on all parameters important for jyotish purposes.

Also known as gomed/ gomedha/ gomedhaka in Hindi ans also as Cinnamon stone, Hessonite garnet is the gemstone of planet Rahu in Vedic Astrology. Rahu being a karmic planet can have a tremendous impact on an individualâ€™s life. If placed well, it can bestow worldly riches, besides tremendous popularity and mass appeal. It can give a great edge, especially to people having a career in competitive sports and politics.

If positioned unfavorably it can lead to a constant state of ill- health, inability to discern right from wrong, extreme ambition, illusory ideas and frustration.

An individual going through the Mahadasha or Antardasha (Planetary periods)of Rahu must wear a Hessonite Garnet, that is after getting the birth chart analysed and post a proper gem recommendation.

Apart from this, individuals with Rahu in the ascendant house in the birth chart must wear Hessonite Garnet to bring about stability and success in life.

Rahu or the North Node of the Moon throws in challenges through heightened ambition and desire even when resources are tight or times are not favorable. Planetary gem therapy helps in such times by checking the fuzzy thinking and cutting through the confusion.
