GEM:
A natural pearl, coral, shell, seed, tooth or mineral that is valued for
its rarity, durability, portability, beauty, perfection or astrological
metaphysical influence.
GEMOLOGY: The study of naturally occurring gems.
PLANETARY GEMOLOGY: (Ratna-vijnana or Ratna-para-vidya) Ancient
Vedic science of the relationship between 9 (categories
of) GEMS and 9 (categories of ) PLANETS recognized as most important
in sidereal astrology and ayurveda. Based on the "Navaratna" philosophy
of Vedic birthstones.
PLANETARY GEMOLOGIST (PG): A practitioner who is BOTH a
"certified" Gemologist as well as being a "Planetary Gem Advisor"
(PGA) qualified to determine gem choosing based on Jyotish (Vedic
Astrology).
STATEMENT
OF PURPOSE:
The
"Graha-anukul ratna-visheshajna parishad" or Planetary Gemologists
Association (PGA), is a necessary regulatory and research group
formed to help unite all genuine Planetary Gemologists around the world.
Purpose
of the Planetary Gemologists Association is fourfold:
1)
To bring order and positive worldwide attention to the ancient science
of Planetary Gemology, one of the 64 Asian arts that incorporate Vedic
(sidereal) astrology, Ayurveda, and elite mineralogy.
2)
To establish high standards of professionalism and expertise as requirements
for membership, which will serve as a guarantee of integrity and
excellence to the public.
3)
To maintain a forum for deliberation into the subtle mysteries of "Planetary
Gemology," and to present these findings and conclusions by publishing
an annual Journal named the "Journal of the Planetary Gemologists Association."
4)
To evolve into an Internet based Institute of Planetary Gemology that
provides bona fide information leading to a final exam for qualification
as a PGA (Planetary Gem Advisor). NOTE: A PG (Planetary
Gemologist) is a qualified PGA who is also a certified Gemologist. PG
and PGA Diplomas will be awarded to successful applicants. Click
the sample diploma if you are ready to take the PGA - TEST>>>
The
Sanskrit name for the PGA was composed by HONORARY PATRON Prof.
Dr. Satya Vrat Shastri, Padma Shri
Honorary President: Pandit
Vidyadhar Sukul Brahman, PGA, Chief Vedic Priest of Thailand
