People often feel that wearing a Gemstone with a view to mould or improve our life is a part of the old superstitious which we as the modern, analytic and scientific humans should do away with. But on the contrary we find that all eminent personalities including past and present Prime Ministers of India wear Gemstones.

One thing we must understand that wearing of gemstones does not lead to some magic – on the negative or positive side. The general feeling developed in people especially in India that wearing a gemstone can lead to positive or negative effects in few hours does not have any empirical evidence. It comes from a psychological impact or it is a coincidence which people relate with the effect of the gemstone.


Then the question arises does the use of gemstones have an effect on our lives – the answer is a qualified yes . The gemstone has a slow and steady impact on our lives in the manner described below.

When we wear a gemstone the cosmic rays of the planet it represents are drawn more into our Auras. This has an effect on the chakras which are governed by those colours. This phenomenon has an effect on our vibrations and our mental activity which in turn affects the way we interact with the people and the people interact with us. All this changes our environment and thus our destinies.

When we see a birth chart we analyze the strengths and the weaknesses of the various planets and if some planet is benefic but is weak we prescribe its Gemstone. This phenomenon can be understood in a simple way.

When a child is born and the doctors find that the child has a deficiency of say–calcium–artificial calcium is given to the child to make up the deficiency. Similarly, if a planet is weak i.e., the individual got weak rays from that planet at the time of birth. The gemstone which is capable of drawing more rays of that planet into the aura is recommended so that the initial deficiency can be covered up by increased cosmic rays absorption now.

The use of the gemstone will slowly and steadily increase the colour of that particular planet’s rays in the aura and this will slowly bring changes in the Aura and in the mental waves. This induces a change in the interactions we have with other beings, our self esteem and outlook towards life.
