KINGDOM OF SITHTHARS

In the previous posts we have seen that each stone represents a particular planet. They are,

Sun - Ruby

Moon - Pearl

Mars - Coral

Mercury - Emerald

Jupiter - Topaz

Venus - Diamond

Saturn - Sapphire

Raagu - Sardonyx

Kaethu - Lapis Lazuli

These navamanis could not be bought on all the days. There are certain restrictions to those also.

On sundays ruby and sardonyx, on mondays pearl and lapis lazuli, on tuesdays coral, on wednesdays emerald, on thursdays topaz, on fridays diamond and on saturdays sapphire could be bought.

After identifying the right stone and wearing it by fixing it on the jewel and wearing it on the right day alone will not give the best results. Before making medicines out of the medicinal herbs and arsenics should be purified, like wise these stones must also be purified. The Siththars call this as "dhosha nivarthi" means expiating the defects.

Even today most of the people who sell these stones do not realise its importance.They are considering the profit only.  Because of this only most of them say that the stones did not produce the fruitful results.

I have initiated this post to share the idea of the "dhosha nivarthi" only. But I feel that these ideas are to be follwed only under the guidance of the guru. Hence I did not share those here. So excuse me.

By choosing the expertise astrologer and as per his suggestion buy the right stone at right day and perform the appropriate procedures and attain the benefits and best results.

Each one of the navamani has the capability of showering a unique colored rays. There are opinions that as these rays enters the body it makes the welfare of the body as well as mind.

Ruby gives out red colored rays, pearl  gives out orange colored rays, topaz gives out blue colored rays, sardonyx gives out violet colored rays, emerald gives out green colored rays, diamond gives out light blue colored rays, lapis lazuli  gives out light red colored rays, sapphire gives out dark voilet colored rays, coral gives out yellow colored rays.

The stones with these features and those without any damage only could cause the appropriate results.To identify the correct stone is a difficult task. Even the experted ones may make mistakes in choosing the right stone.

But Agathiyar has told the way of identifying the right stone a century ago in the book "Agathiyar Vaagadam".

Pearl :- If we put it into the milk without foam it will float

Emerald :- If we keep it in hand and go near to a horse it will sneeze

Ruby :- In front the light of a lamp it could be seen in red color

Diamond:- If we pierce a needle into the diamond it would not break.

Coral :-  If we pierce the needle exactly at the center of the coral only it will get inserted.

Sardonyx :- If we put it into the cow's ghee it will smell like saffron

Topaz:- If we keep it on the stone that we use for rubbing sandal, it woud smell like lotus. 

Lapis Lazuli :- If we put in the juice of green leaf  it will turn into white color.

Sapphire :-  If we put in the juice of green leaf  it will glow in a particular color.

This informations gathered from the Agathiyar songs are very rare and here after you can also get benefited out of it and know its quality.

As a continuation to this, these navamanis could not be bought on all the days. There are certain restrictions to those also. In the next post we shall see all those details.

Right from the birth till the death his life is solely dependant on the nine planets says the astrology. The kosaara* effects decides the each stage of human life and those effects are dependant on the good and bad that they have done in their previous birth. Apart from these by doing certain remedial activities, it is said that the effect of the nine planets could be made less intense.

Each navamani represents one particular planet.By wearing these navamani those rays enter into our body and equalise the effects of particular planet and also gives luck, says record.

Even today we can find people burying these navamani at the entrance of the newly building home. Apart from this, in temple these navamani are found buried in the tomb's foundation, in the place where God's statue is present. All these makes us realise the importance of the navamani. Apart from the belief the ancestors have also realised the benefits of these navamani, hence they have left those evidences for us to know about them.

Based on this importance only most of them have made this navamani sales as a business and are attaining a huge profit out of it. Due to some false advertisings, some of them fall into their trap and get affected very badly and loose peace of mind. Those experiences of such people are becoming a bad example for most of them thereby creating a bad opinion on these navamanis .

Actually based on the one's astrology, the planet positioning, their effects are decided and based on it the stone is prescribed. We can also say that the stone is prescribed by taking into consideration of the birth time, sign, master of the zodiac sign and birth star. But the stone cannot be predicted based on one individual sign or a star.

The stones prescribed are to be worn on the ring finger and men wear it on their right and women on the left hands and the kids can wear in the neck. When they worn like this so that those rays from the stones gets exposed into the human body. If the stone is prescribed by those who are really experted, then the benefits are really great. I have directly witnessed them.

How to choose the pure stones?

As many of them say, why do not these stones give the best results?

What is the method that the Siththars have told to make these stones give the full fledged results?

We shall see all these in the next post.

The Siththars call the navaratnas (nine gems) as navamani. Nava means new and ratna means light. Diamond, pearl, emerald, ruby, sapphire, topaz, lapis lazuli, sardonyx and coral are Navamanis. All these stones are naturally grown on the ground.

These nine stoness are said to be the nine different forms of Lord Siva. They are Brahma, Vishnu, Rudhiran, Maheswaran, Sadhasivam, Sivam, Sakthi, Naadham and Vindhu.

The ancient Tamilians have categorized these stones into three: first, middle and last stones.

They are,

First stones:- diamond, pearl, emerald, ruby

Middle stones:- sapphire, topaz, lapis lazuli

Last stones:- sardonyx, coral

Siththars have categorized these stones into two types: main ratnas and sub ratnas. Diamond, pearl, topaz, ruby, sapphire are main ratnas and lapis lazuli, sardonyx and coral are subratnas.

The Siththars have utilised it in many ways. Based on the information that we have got, the navamani have been used in two ways.

First we shall see how these navamani has been prescribed for the astrology purposes in the next posts.
