Upayes

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

It's important for the astrologer to understand just how and why upayes

(gems and mantras) work before they can recommend their use to others.

It continues to amaze me how so many astrologers engage in research before

understanding (even) the basic principles of this divine science.

The Vibrations of our Universe:

Published P.G.A. 2002 (http://www.p-g-a.org/wendy-artl2.html)

 

Controversial topics amongst leading astrologers have existed for decades

and there's none more hotly debated than the use of gems as remedial

measures.

 

As stated in the main article, many learned astrologers believe either that

remedial gems are an attempt to " buy off " our karma and are therefore

against " the will of God " or that no remedial measure is able to strengthen

an afflicted or weak planet - both arguments are wrong and are founded on

ignorance.

 

Before we can understand the influence of planetary gems and other upayes we

first have to understand the nature of our universe. Sages teach us that the

vibration (primordial sound) of the universe is in constant flux - the

beautiful celestial song of the universe is unique to each living being.

 

Bija (meditation) mantras correspond to the specific sound or vibration of

the Universe at the time (and place) of our birth and it's taught that

meditating with the primordial mantra corresponding to Moon's nakshatra lord

guides us effortlessly back to our own essential nature. Seeing the

essential nature of the Universe as pulsating sound or vibration we can more

readily understand the relationship between precious gems and their ruling

planets. The vibration of Ruby is non-different to that of Sun. Pearl to

Moon, Red Coral to Mars, Emerald to Mercury, Yellow Sapphire to Jupiter,

Diamond to Venus, Blue Sapphire to Saturn etc..

 

Our own unique expression of the universe is present in every living cell,

every strand of DNA - our genetic (cosmic) blueprint; and today modern

science is proving that this genetic blueprint can indeed be manipulated.

Gene therapy is the latest medical approach to treat, cure, and ultimately

prevent disease by changing the expression of a person's genes. To the best

of my understanding a new gene is inserted into the body via vehicles called

vectors (gene carriers), which deliver therapeutic genes to the person's

cells. Knowing that this is being done today to treat disease it seems

ridiculous to still believe that remedial measures cannot, in the same way,

lessen the impact of planetary afflictions. It stands to reason that, if a

particular vibration within our DNA is " out of tune " (afflicted or weak),

then wearing the corresponding gem of perfect quality and therefore perfect

vibration will improve that vibrational quality within us?

 

In this same way mantras specific to the planets help to lessen the effects

of our karma - its the vibration of the sound that has the effect - moreso

than the meaning of the mantra. Gems of course are not available for

everyone and by the grace of God we have been given the mantras

corresponding to each planet. If recited in the prescribed manner they are

as effective as gems. The difference between the two remedies is that one

requires money while the other requires effort and dedication to complete

the required number of repetitions.

 

Sages declare; " The Sun moves in me, the Stars move in me, the Moon rises in

me, the whole Universe is in me. Those who know this great truth cry in

ecstasy, *AHAM VISHWAM*, I am the universe, I am the existence. "
