Exciting new MOVIE-BIO of PGA Co-Founder Richard Shaw Brown Published in USA

CLICK TO PURCHASE ON AMAZON.COM
A gripping and humorous autobiographical novel about the early life of Rick Brown, detailing the story of his 1960s era group, The Misunderstood, and their evolution from local garage band heroes to trailblazing psychedelic icons living in the heart of Swinging London. Read how the band's heart was ripped out on the eve of their success when Rick was drafted into the US Army, about his daring desertion from boot camp, his escape to a new life in a primitive ashram in North India, and his subsequent adventures as a hunted fugitive. Befriended by India's elite but forced from sanctuary as US authorities close in, he climbs the Himalayas, taking shelter in a secret ruby mine guarded by 115 year-old Kali Baba. Torn between the love of two competing gurus, as well as Kali Baba and beautiful Tanny, he is driven over the edge into the mysterious Asian underworld. Read a Synopsis of the book that details the modern-day discovery of Planetary Gemology in 1974.

“There's no disputing that it's an extremely entertaining read - and I can't wait to see the promised film.” (Phil McMullen, Terrascope On-line Reviews)

BALAJI GL108 NAVARATNA GEM LAMP

Modern Science and Ancient Wisdom

Over the last decade in Europe, Russia and the United Kingdom pioneering work has been carried out on vibrational healing. During this time Howard Beckman and his wife Jennifer have brought together a concise and conclusive system of Ayurvedic Gem Therapy. Together with the help of their team of scientists and staff, they have produced the Balaji GL108 Navaratna Gem Lamp. The GL108 enhances the individual gem cosmic rays even further using innovative science on the cutting edge of modern technology. The gem lamps have been used to treat everything from burns, infections and sprains to depression and neurological disorders. All with outstanding results.

The Balaji GL108 Navaratna Gem Lamp consists of an electronic instrument encased in steel with a front control panel to set the desired frequencies and times of treatments. It has been certified by US government approved testing laboratories to meet all required specifications for such a device to be sold in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe, which makes it also approved for most all other countries in the world. It is supplied with 2 gem lamps made of heat-resistant materials that can never become hot to the touch so as to cause burning in any case instances. A set of 9 natural, untreated gems and 9 specialty color filters are also supplied with the gem lamps, as well as 2 tripods to support the lamps' use.

Healing with Color/Gem Therapy

The human body is composed of vibrating groups of cells. These cells are in turn made up of the seven cosmic rays in varying degrees. To remain in a healthy state the rays within the cells should be in a state of equilibrium. Disease occurs by the outward and inward actions of the individual. The body's natural defense manages to adjust when up to two cosmic rays are disturbed and through proper maintenance it can right itself. But when three or more cosmic rays are disturbed, the body will succumb to disease.

Certain gemstones are recognized to be storehouses of the individual cosmic rays. The ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Judaic cultures used gems for healing, but it was the Vedic culture of India that gives the most comprehensive practice of gem therapy. Particular gems were connected to specific cosmic rays; Ruby - red ray, Pearl - orange ray, Red coral - yellow, Emerald - green, Yellow Sapphire - blue ray, Diamond/White Sapphire - Indigo and Blue Sapphire - violet. These in turn are connected to specific energies or doshas within the body and mind. Gem therapy is usually administered by gem tinctures, ayurvedic gem medicines or rings and amulets.
Only natural gems are used, as their vibration is the same as the corresponding rays. Glass and synthetic or heated gems do not vibrate at the same specific level and therefore will not give the same results. The gems we provide for use with the lamps are transparent except for the pearl, red coral and crysoberyl cats-eye (which are never transparent) and are of beautiful natural color.

The Balaji GL108 Navaratna Gem Lamp:

* easy to use
* outstanding results
* innovative technology
* restores balance
* invaluable investment
* fully warrantied
* live tech support
* correspondence courses
* intensives/workshops
* ...and best of all, NO SIDE EFFECTS!

Bangkok 10330, Kingdom of Thailand
Kind Attn: Mr. Richard Shaw Brown, PG

Dear Richard,

We acknowledge with pleasure, the efforts made by you and the Planetary Gemnologists Association in promoting awareness about Jyotisa Quality gemstones and their proper use. Specifically, the information, documentation and proof about the following is very much appreciated.

1.       The continuing debate on anukula (favourable, risk free) and pratikula (unfavourable, appeasement) gemstones. In principle, we strongly support the use of anukula gemstones and would recommend a pratikula gemstone only if it was involved in a strong favourable yoga in a kendra (quadrant).

2.       The nava-ratna or nine principal gemstones of the navagraha, their definitions of quality including colour, clarity etc. All the nine gemstones are ideally used with the ruby in the centre surrounded with the other eight gems in an eight-petal heart lotus formation, as a pendant. We have been admiring your beautiful creations.

3.       Discussion on gemstone conflicts are interesting and in principle we have found them to alter the strength of the principal gemstone in a negative manner, provided they do not form a part of any yoga.

4.       Bogus and Genuine Lakshmi Shanka information at the website http://www.p-g-a.org/index1.html is very helpful and we hope to see your continued efforts in this direction in the future as well.

We acknowledge and accept with thanks, your offer to be an Honorary Patron of the Planetary Gemologists Association.

With best wishes,
Yours truly,

(Sanjay Rath)

New Sri Navaratna Award Winner

Excellent meta tags, coding and information worthy of the PGA's highest Web Award

ATLANTA, March 8 - The Nine Pearls, also known as the Nava Moti, have found a gallery in Atlanta, Georgia at Divine Net Galleries. With the help of an interdisciplinary research group, these artifacts, widely the subject of legend until only recently, are being studied and documented, with ongoing results published under the GNU Free Documentation License. In an unusual trade relationship formed to provide sacred Vedic artifacts from a neighboring sister culture, Divine Net Galleries has worked closely with practioners of the tribal spiritual order of Indonesia known as Ilmu, a spiritual path that preceded both Islam and Hinduism within the archipelago by thousands of years. Divine Net Galleries has provided a venue to showcase not only The Sacred Pearls, but other sacred Hindu artifacts such as Dakshinavarti Shankha (or the Sri Lakshmi Shankha), and is providing lectures, exhibit events, and a distribution channel for new dealers, showrooms, galleries, and those wishing to consign or to display their private collections.

In an ongoing effort to provide quantitative analysis and a broad historical information base for these artifacts, the gallery has also sought participants and contributors to assist its efforts to document these artifacts from a multi-cultural perspective, and has begun publishing its findings at both its primary website and on Wikipedia, the free Internet encyclopedia. Dana Bahor, curator of Divine Net Galleries, stated "It has been our privilege to help restore the traditions of these artifacts with the assistance of those with much deeper insight into the Vedic traditions who have been willing to share. It is our hope to continue to expand this work on an ongoing basis with the assistance of the Vedic community."
