RATNA ARPANA
Donating Gems to Appease Harmful Planets

Ref. Graha-gochar-jyotish

Most astrological practicioners agree that gems should be used to enhance a person's good (anukul) planet, but some are unsure what should be done to appease harmful (pratikul) planets. We began searching the ancient esoteric books for the preferred method by which jyotish quality gems could be used to appease debilitated or otherwise harmful (pratikul) planet(s), and found that there is indeed one method that has been prescribed. It is the practice of Ratna-Arpana, or DONATING a fine gem for a harmful planet to a specified recipient at a specific time with a specific seed mantra.

Using this system greatly simplifies the prescription of jyotish gems:

For a good (anakul) planet, a gem is to be accepted (worn)
For a bad (pratikul) planet, a gem is to be donated (given away)

It is amazingly simple - gems are appropriate in all cases, but must be used in entirely different ways. Everyone already understands that gems for favorable planets are to be worn, but were uncertain what should be done to appease harmful planets. The ancient texts point the way - donate the gem to a specified recipient, and solve the problem of the harmful planet.

Following is the information needed to pacify harmful planets by donating a gem:

SUN: Propitiation of the Sun (Sunday). Donate a ruby (or another fine red jewel like red spinel) to a middle aged male government leader at 12:00 noon on a Sunday, while reciting Surya seed mantra:
