Gemstones - a tradition in INDIA
Hello Awesome Souls!
I want to draw your attention to the fact that since time immemorial GEMSTONES are being recognized and used in our VEDIC CULTURE. It is not a secret that 4 Vedas are one of the oldest books in human history - RIG VEDA, SAMA VEDA, YAJUR VEDA, ATHARVA VEDA .Among these RIG VEDA is the book of mantras, songs , hymns & shlokas. It is believed to written as early as 12000 BCE by some scholars. I want to draw your attention to the fact that THE VERY FIRST SHLOKA of RIGVED is as follows ----
“AGHNIMILE PUROHITAM YAJNASYA DEVAM RTVIJAM|
HOTARAM RATNADHATMAM||”
Last word is RATNADHATMAM- means holder of precious things like gemstones & jewels. It is quite clear that in our Vedic Culture RATNAS or GEMSTONES were easily available and widely used by common people.
RATNAGHARBHA (Sanskrit name of EARTH) means the producer of gemstones also indicates that gemstones were mined, used and appreciated in our region at least from 12000 BCE. This much long tradition of gemstones is itself the testimony of their benefits.
In our Vedic Sanatan Culture Astronomy, Astrology and TATWA GYAN (science of 5 elements, subatomic particles) were practiced and researched by our sages and they were very much aware of the unique property of gemstones -" the receiver of the cosmic vibrations". Many treatises are available which explains how gemstones receive cosmic energy from different planets and channelize it to our body through CHAKRAS for our physical, emotional & spiritual well-being. Gemstones are the unique blend of beauty & spiritual science.
