Can gems change your destiny?
Who doesn�t want to change his/her life? It would have been ideal if God had given a bit MORE of everything we have. Everyone seeks for better parents, a better salary, a better house, a better car, a better country to live in, a better wife and a better person to have sex with. None is content with what he has and is always in search of a better tomorrow. The hope and the dream of a better tomorrow is what have lead to all the misdevelopment around us. Or else we would have lived happily with what the existence had to offer to us.
Astrology is one science that helps in understanding human destiny and also that which provides immense faith to people. None goes to an astrologer when things are moving perfectly as expected. Why should anyone believe in astrology when the time is right? There is no need. But the divine knows when exactly to make a person move towards bigger sciences in life, and it also knows how to check mate a person and where and how.
In Vedic astrology there are various remedial measures, which promises to reduce the ill effect of bad time or bad planetary phase. It varies from going to a temple, chanting mantras, donations, wearing rudrakshas, to wearing of lucky gems!
Selling gems is indeed a multi million business today and there are no ways that you can differentiate between an original and a duplicate gem � all looks the same (and each astrologer will have his own definition to prove which one is original and which is not). Also you can never find an astrologer who respects other astrologer�s prescription, nor could you find a single gem shop that acknowledges the quality of other gem dealers � all think they are the only God send people on earth.
Gems are worn both by believer and non-believers. Believers accept that they are wearing out of their own choice, and non-believers say they are wearing just because someone else asked them to do so, and they don�t want to hurt their sentiments. It is not that non-believers don�t accept the concept, just that they don�t want to be looked down upon as a believer � it could be an ego-hurting phenomena.
There are various ways gems are prescribed to a person. Some use the system based on Sun signs, and a few use a system called dowsing, few use intuition, and few use tarot cards. Even in Vedic astrology there are different ways a gem can be prescribed. Some prescribe it based on the strongest planet, and some based on the weakest planet. There are others who ask the native to keep changing the gems depending on the dasha and bhukti that which is running. Every astrologer will have his own arguments to back the concept he believes in.
End of the day it all depends on the astrologer you meet up. And again it is your own destiny about what kind of astrologer you will meet in your life.
Personally I don�t think Gems help a lot in bringing about major changes in life, though it could act as a good ornament on your fingers and neck.
