Find Out the Special Rules of Gem Purification According to Astrology

“A man’s progress and growth will be hindered if he does not have a pure mind and a clean body”
- Sam Veda
Purification has an important role to play in our Vedic astrology. In order to be elevated to a higher level (Samadhi) or a thing to perform its karma or destiny, purification of the state is needed.
Vedic Astrology recognises gemstones as having an incredible impact on one’s life which can be used to enhance certain planetary energies, but before using a gemstone for Astrological purposes it must first go through a purification governed by the rules of Vedic Astrology for better results.
Here are a few such rules in Vedic Astrology for gemstone purification:
- First of all, an ideal time for purification needs to be chosen, it is during the planetary hour which is favourable for the planet associated with it. For example, the planetary hours of the sun are ideal for the purification of ruby.
- Recitation of a mantra, which again depends upon the specific gemstone and the associated planet, like in the previous example – “Om Suryaya Namaha”
- Purify the gemstone by immersing it for at least 24 hours in raw milk or Gangajal, then they should be rinsed with clean water to ensure optimal results. The ideal place is quiet and clean, temple is the most suitable one. Remember, pearls, emeralds and coral shouldn’t be soaked for more than a few minutes. On the other hand, gemstones such as diamond, ruby, and garnet, among others can be kept soaked for a long.
- It is considered auspicious to pick a day that is associated with the planet. For example – Sunday for ruby and other sun-related gemstones.
- After that, the gemstones should be placed on a clean cloth and allowed to dry in the shade.
- Gemstones should be placed in a copper vessel filled with uncooked rice for at least three hours to stabilise them and ensure maximum efficiency.
- Once a gemstone has been cleansed and purified, it should be charged with the appropriate mantras for its planet of association by repeating them 108 times while holding onto it.
- It is essential that any gemstone used be cleansed and charged by an experienced Vedic astrologer before use.
- One should refrain from wearing gemstones previously worn by another individual.
- Vedic astrology says, that gemstones should be worn on specific fingers.
Also, you should, on your own, meditate with the gemstone and recite the Vedic mantra associated with the planet 108 times.
