Is there a treatment for human nature? Traditional philosophy answers — yes. Ancient wisdom suggests that gems and jewels play a role in refining and guiding human character.
It is believed that at the time of Samudra Manthan, along with the fourteen divine treasures, poison also emerged. When neither gods nor demons accepted it, Lord Shankar consumed the poison for the welfare of the universe and came to be known as Lord Neelkanth.
According to traditional belief, the same Neelkanth manifests on Earth in the form of gemstones. Just as Lord Shankar absorbed poison, gems are believed to absorb the negative qualities within human nature and allow virtues to flourish. Lord Shankar is therefore regarded as the chief deity of gems and jewels.
Human nature is believed to be formed at the time of birth. When life is conceived, a combination of the Five Elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) takes shape. The planetary positions at that moment influence destiny, temperament and characteristics.
Astrology teaches that the Zodiac Sign is determined by the position of the Moon at birth. The horoscope records the positions of planets and stars at that precise moment. Just as seasonal changes are predicted by observing celestial movements, so too are individual tendencies interpreted through astrological charts.
A person’s nature directly influences relationships, career, progress and overall happiness. Often individuals recognize personal tendencies that become obstacles but feel powerless to change them.
Traditional belief holds that since both humans and gemstones are formed from the same Five Elements, gemstones can help balance elemental forces within an individual.
Pure and properly examined gems are said to support natural good qualities and help restrain negative tendencies. Faulty or substandard stones, however, are believed to amplify imbalance.
Just as human character varies, gemstones too may contain flaws. Therefore, careful examination and proper selection are considered essential. Only pure and authentic gems are believed to provide beneficial influence.
Through correct guidance and appropriate gemstone use, one may support positive traits, reduce negative tendencies, and strive toward a more prosperous and harmonious life.
