Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Green stones are ruled by Mercury whose precious gem is Emerald. However, substitutes such as peridot, green adventurine in good grades, can be used. Shani and Budhi (Mercury) are friends (friendly planets towards each other). It being Shani's day when you did your worship, maybe its again Sahaja that urges you to use green stones. Perhaps to also honor Mercury while you're wearing Shani's stones (since they are 'friends', to put it in simply). The blue pendant with golden specks you mentioned is likely to be a good grade of Lapis Lazuli. Again, go with your intuition. If you haven't strong feelings to do anything, simply refrain from doing it as perhaps the time is not right. Accept the "NoW" and what is urging you right now. Let other things unfold with time in regards strong feelings or the lack of, to do whatever that might enter your mind. , j <barbjs wrote: > > Thanks Narasimhaye, > > But why these green stones.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thank you Narasimhaye. The Divine Mother and Lord Shiva own everything, and They know that I know that we can really own nothing. They let us hold some of their things for a short while; that is all; so whenever I get anything, I know that it is not really mine, and I mentally acknowledge that to Them. This happened also with the green rock pieces; therefore, I don't know why I had this feeling on Saturday that I had to dedicate those pieces to Them, since They know that They already own Them. The blue stone was sold to me as Lapis Lazuli, but I couldn't remember the name until I was in bed. The green isn't aventine, as I have some of that, also. The stones are most likely a low quality of nephrite or serpentine. I truly don't know what I'm doing and I wish Mother and Father would look after my personal life, as it seems to be falling apart, and I've told Them this many times, but They don't seem to understand. In fact, I don't even seem to have a personal life, and They know that also, but They don't seem to care. And They know that They own the green stones and the other stones also, so what was this thing on Saturday of "offer the green stones to all the deities, now."

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 ..Dear Members, I found a black Shivalinga while digging in the garden a few years ago. It is about 5 1/2 inches long and about 3 inches wide. At first I set it up in the garden; then I brought it inside. It is in a small "temple" that I made of bricks along with a brass Shivalinga. I bought an acacia tree last year; it is of the same family as the sami which is the acacia ferruginea, but it is not the sami, but of the same family, and it has yellow flowers also. I wonder whether I should put the black Shivalinga outside under the acacia tree, and whether I should put the brick "temple" out there too. Someone near where I live has a Shivalinga set up in their front yard (at least it looks like a Shivalinga). Most people here do not know what they are, as this is not a Hindu area, but some people who are interested in Japanese culture know what they are. Is it best to put the black Shivalinga outside or to keep it in the house in its little "temple" here or put it outside. Thanks for the help.
