Vedic Rings

The stars in their constant movements throughout the heavens are constantly emitting both positive and negative magnetic vibrations. Astrology is the occult science that studies how these influences affect each person. There is a practical side to the study of astrology that involves the use of certain remedial agents that act to protect the body and mind. For thousands of years mankind has known that certain gemstones, metals, and plants can have a positive effect on the body and mind by nullifying or mitigating the harmful influences of the stars. Of these three elements, Swami Sri Yukteswar, in the Autobiography of a Yogi, written by Paramahansa Yogananda, stated that faultless gems of not less than two carats, worn in contact with the skin, are the most beneficial for astrological purposes.

Gems are similar to a lightning rod. They create, what is in effect, a protective field around the body, regulating which cosmic forces are absorbed by the body. In time, the proper gemstones, if kept in contact with the skin, can bring about changes in the mind and body. A number of different remedial measures may be suggested such as the practice of prayer, meditation or a mantra. Other remedies include the use of color therapy, the adoption of a certain diet, or even to move to a different location. Gemstones have been found to be one of the most effective and beneficial ways that we can help ourselves. The use of gemstones for remedial purposes was mentioned in the ancient Vedic texts. More modern studies can be found today in current astrological and Ayurvedic medical writings.
