The word ‘Navratnas’ translates to ‘nine gems.’ According to Vedic Astrology, our lives are ruled by the Navgrahas ,or ‘nine planets.’ In his book Autobiography of a Yogi, Yoganand states “Just as a house can be fitted with a copper rod to absorb the shock of lightning, so the bodily temple can be benefited by various protective measures. Ages ago our yogis discovered that pure metals emit an astral light which is powerfully counteractive to negative pulls of the planets.”
In South Asian countries like Sri Lanka, Nepal, India, and other Southeast countries too; Navratna studded jewelry has been a part of the Royal Courts. Kings and Queens were adorned with heavy gold ornaments inlaid with large gemstones. The Vaastu of the Navratnas is very intricate and must be practiced with the utmost consideration.
Navratnas and Their Qualities
Navratnas hold great power and therefore have to be arranged in a particular formation so they don’t cancel out each other’s properties, with Ruby being the centre of the arrangement. The alignment of each gemstone is also done with respect to what the ornament will be and how it will be placed on the body. The Navratnas must be in contact with your skin.
