An
explanation of
Anukul / Pratikul
| The
Planetary Gemology World is divided into two (2) opposing philosophies,
viz., Anukul-vad v/s Pratikul-vad:
ANUKULA-VAD:
A gem will act "SAME" as it's planet - So gems should
be chosen for Anukul (favorable) grahas - AKA known as GOODISM
PRATIKUL-VAD:
A gem will act "OPPOSITE" of it's planet - So gems should
be chosen for Pratikul (unfavorable) grahas - AKA known as BADISM
|
Pratikul
Planet's gem choosing method
for overcoming a weak or evil planet, based on the misconception
that a 'pratikul' (inauspicious) planet is strengthened by wearing
it's gem and there by it changes from being inauspicious (pratikul)
to become auspicious (anukul).
ILLOGIC: By providing the gem
for a malefic planet, benefic results will follow. Example:
A person has Jupiter debilitated and a malefic which is inauspicious
or pratikul, but by wearing Jupiter's gem, yellow sapphire or another
yellow Jupiter jewel, it is believed that the 'weak' (troublesome)
Jupiter gets strengthened and REVERSES to become auspicious. Some
persons opine that a harmful planet means that the planet's "cosmic
color" is weak. The gems for the planets are concentrated essential
cosmic color rays; so by wearing the gem for the weak, Pratikul
(harmful) color that weak color is strengthened, and when the weak
color is stronger then the harmful influence will be REVERSED, removed
or mitigated.
Pratikul means a planet that causes evil influence
or suffering to the native as seen through the horoscope. This may
be a debilitated planet who is in a dusthana and enemy of the lord
of the lagna, or otherwise disposed that the influence simply causes
suffering. |
Anukul
Planet's gem choosing method
for resorting to or harnessing one's auspicious (Anukul) planet(s)
(exalted, mulatrikona, own sign, benefic, great friend, good
house, owner of good house, etc.) based on the concept that lucky
planet = lucky gem! In all Jyotish there are basically two broad
catagories of planetary position, viz., favorable (to the chart)
(Anukul) OR unfavorable (to the chart). One should avoid their weakness
and cultivate their strengths. "Ratna-anukul" means the
auspicious gem of strongest most desirable planet.
Example: One
has Leo Lagna - their lagna lord is Sun, who is exalted (100% strength)
and posited in the 9th house which is all very auspicious. That
person would be advised to use a fine ruby, the Sun’s gem, to attract
or harness his auspicious influence. On the other hand if a person
had Saturn ill-disposed in the 8th house they would
be advised to avoid Saturn’s gem blue sapphire and all other Saturnine
things or activities. And better still they could donate a blue
sapphire to pacify Shanideva.
The followers of Anukul-vad believe
that the pratikul-graha color is the unlucky color, and to magnify
that bad color will simply increase the problems caused by that
unlucky Planet. Both methods believe that gems increase cosmic colors
of their planets, thus for an Anukuli it is considered to be suicide
to increase a pratikul-graha's color. In Anukul there is never a
case where a Pratikul (harmful to the chart/native) planet's gem
should be worn as it will surely increase the ill fortune; but such
gems for a Pratikul planet can be used by DONATING them - giving
them AWAY - according to Shastric directions. A pure anukuli believes
that a pratikul-gem is NEVER good to use; it is increasing the cosmic
poison, and ill fortune (a person's bad cosmic vibes) should NEVER
be increased.
Anukul means a planet that is beneficially
disposed either by being strong in own sign, good house, ruler of
houses which will bring positive results, or otherwise not ill disposed
nor inclined to produce evil influence. A planet which is good for
the chart either naturally or by house ruler ship yet somewhat weakened
by placement may be strengthened through the gem, or a planet which
already is strong and giving benefic influence may be further strengthened
for gains in particular areas of life by wearing the gem. |
