-
"Pearl is the gem stone ruled by
Moon. It is a suitable and gainful gem stone for those in whose
nativities Moon is lord of an auspicious house or when as lord of an
auspicious house is afflicted or not well placed in the birth
charts.
-
Rituals: The Pearl to be worn should be of 2, 4, 6 or 11 carats. It should be purchased and set in
a silver ring on Monday on Monday or Thursday (never Saturday) and after
observing the other rituals mentioned earlier and reciting the following
Mantra 108 times, the ring should be worn on a Monday morning in the
bright half of the lunar month.
-
"Aum
som somaya namah
-
Those who cannot afford to buy a
Pearl can wear Moon-stone, white Sapphire is also advised as a
substitute by some authorities; but it is not a cheap stone,
-
The ring
should be worn in the ring finger of the right hand.
-
But be careful.
-
The
Pearl or its substitutes should never be worn with Diamond, Emerald,
Blue Sapphire and Cat's Eye and their substitutes. "
[BPL note: the Moon has no
enemies. It is generally OK to wear pearl *as a pendant* with any other ratna
being worn as finger-rings - unless
specific conditions in the nativity would negate it.]
For
all remedial gemstones, be sure to cleanse the stone energetically
with extreme attention to proper mantra.
Flawless gems are
expensive and hard to find. Use only a trusted Vedic-trained
gemologist. It might be easiest to start with single gem and combine
them as your finances allow.
According to Dr.
G.S. Kapoor (1994, p 91)
-
" It is very important for all gem stones that before wearing them they
should be kept immersed for sometime in unboiled milk or Ganges water.
-
Afterwards the stones should be worshipped with flowers and incense,
and the Mantras of the planets should be recited 108 times."
