Prasaadam tanute mahyam chandraghanteti vishruta !!

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.

Natural Hessonite of 4.71 carats Gemstoneuniverse

The gem among the navratnas associated with Mother Chandraghanta is Hessonite â€“ The gem of a planet that has everything to do with worldly desires. Featured today is a natural and treatment free hessonite of 4.71 carats set in sterling silver as a Rahu talisman pendant.

Although if suitable for an individual, this gem should be worn in the planetary period of Rahu only, exception is made in case Rahu is in the lagna or the ascendant and the gem is worn life long.

Swadhisthana chakra

The powers of Goddess Brahmcharini are all about overcoming attachments and illusory ideas to ascend to a higher level of being, of consciousness. It is about discovering â€˜realityâ€™ as well as oneâ€™s potential. It is about an individual discovering strength and equanimity, irrespective of the state of external environment and events. She is depicted as an effulgent goddess, with a rudraksha rosary in one hand and a kamandal in the other.

Comments	There are several parameters that separate a stone from a real gem and they only increase in the world of colored gemstones. Not only is there a factor of sheer delight, there comes along with the package, a guarantee of lasting value that sets it miles ahead of competition.http://youtu.be/lBVqkWoG94c

Featured today is an exception gem – a premium natural treatment free Ceylon Blue sapphire of 6.43 carats set in sterling silver as a Saturn talisman. The oval cut blue sapphire has a shimmery sky blue color aside of the fantastic jyotish weight. This blue sapphire from Srilanka, has superb clarity and has been cut and faceted masterfully. The ring is a planetary bhasma ring, where the sacred herbal ash of the herb Shami has been sealed in the tubular channels next to the gemstone. Also note that the symbol of Saturn stands in relief on the shanks of the gem.

Natural Blue sapphire or neelam gemstone is the gem of Lord Saturn/ Shani and is used in a talisman to harness its energies. Blue sapphire can be worn by individuals with makar lagna or Kumbha lagna. In other words, those with Capricorn ascendant or Aquarius ascendant can wear a blue sapphire. The planet Saturn has lordship over the zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius.

The process of formation of different gem crystals has a different effect on the appearance of the gem. More violent the process of crystal formation viz a viz the strength and toughness of crystal, viz. the emerald, the more inclusions it will bear. While the parameter of clarity assumes a very important dimension in the world of natural diamonds, clarity is rather a relative concept in the world of colored gemstones.

A precious colored gemstone with superb clarity is much rarer than diamonds. A gemstone with richer, darker shades is able to overshadow the inclusions with its rich saturation, while a light colored crystal will be quick to outline them. Determination of value of a colored gemstone therefore is contingent upon several parameters looked at relatively, quite unlike the way diamonds are !

Comments	It is indeed amazing to see how natural consecrated and energised talismans are able to bring about a change in life undoing the old conditioning and energy patterns, that are often the stumbling blocks. It may take a while before the inner resistance can be broken down, for familiar thoughts, situations and even energy patterns (even though detrimental or serving no purpose) appear to be comforting.http://youtu.be/T1d5PZqaZH0

Featured today is a premium natural and treatment free Ceylon Yellow sapphire of exact 2.00 carats set in 22 Karat gold as a Jupiter Talisman ring. The cushion cut natural Yellow sapphire from Srilanka has the finest golden yellow color and superb clarity. The faceting and polishing of the gemstone is also remarkable.

Natural Yellow sapphire or pukhraj is the gemstone of Planet Jupiter / Brihaspati Brahamanspati / Guru. It is a jyotish ratna or gemstone suitable for individuals with dhanu lagna and meen lagna. In other words, individuals with Sagittarius ascendant as well as Pisces ascendant can wear a yellow sapphire.

A good natural, treatment free jyotish quality yellow sapphire commands a premium price. And where there is a market, the presence of unscrupulous elements is a foregone conclusion. There is no dearth of heated yellow sapphire and of its poorer cousins doing rounds in the markets.

Furnace popular for heating corundum in Sri lanka

Yellow sapphire of poor quality with cloudy and pale / almost colorless appearance is subjected to high temperature to enhance color as well as clarity. It is practically cooked in a furnace at a temperatures between 1000-1400 degrees centigrade! And with the advent of Beryllium treatment it has become easy to impart a rich color of choice (you could jolly well choose to have a rich lemon yellow or even make a padparadscha out of a gem ore)!

Please insist on certification before buying a natural gemstone. A natural gemstone with rich color, if available at a price too good to be true surely spells an undisclosed treatment or even genuineness.

Comments	The fire and intensity of the Sun is matchless. One has to just stand in the open under the hot Sun to experience its energy. When an individual desires to implement planetary gem therapy with regard to gaining benefits from a strong or a yogkaraka Surya, what matters is that you get a jyotish quality gem. Since a natural untreated Ruby has intense energies like its planetary deity, the carat weight acquires a lesser significance in comparison to its purity or treatment free status. And then it remains to be seen, whether you can still withstand the intense power of the Sun. Featured today is a fine premium natural and treatment free Mozambique ruby of 0.83 carats. This African ruby has been set in 22-karat gold as a Sun talisman. The oval shaped gem has deep vibrant reddish pink color and has fine lustre. The clarity of the ruby is superb. Natural ruby or manik gemstone is the gem of Sun / Surya and is used to harness the energy of the king of the zodiac in planetary gem therapy. Ruby is a gemstone suitable for Leo ascendant / simha lagna individuals. Leo/Simha is a sign ruled by Sun. Exotic and richly hued, the African ruby that from the mines of Mozambique and Tanzania, comes as a wonderful option in times when Burmese ruby has almost vanished from the markets and whatever remains is marked at prohibitive prices. Even though the price of natural ruby commands a premium, African ruby still makes it a viable option. A buyer must equip himself/ herself with good knowledge before buying colored gemstones for there is intense price variation with quality. And of course when top jyotish quality as well as mine scrap do rounds in the same markets, it pays to be aware! Enjoy it in Video:

Comments	It is one of the earliest known gemstones that human beings shaped and fashioned severally to adorn themselves as well harness its planetary powers. The Red coral is indeed a fascinating gemstone.

Featured today is a fine natural and organic Japanese red coral of 4.78 carats set in 22-karat gold as a Mars talisman. The rich looking Japanese Red coral ring is symbolic of the powers of valiant planet Mars. The oval shaped natural red coal is a robust Mediterranean ox blood color and has a super shiny blemish free surface. Red coral, as a well known is an opaque gemstone of organic origin.

Red coral has been a very popular gem from the earliest days of man, from the Romans using tiny branches of corals as protective amulets, strung into a thread and hung around children’s neck, to the ecclesia where “pater de sang” or the rosaries of coral were very popular.
