59 Lucky stones

I will make a very brief mention on the so-called ‘lucky stones’. They are specific stones which are mentioned to be of benevolent effects on persons of a corresponding specific zodiac signs or Nakshatra or some other similar aspect. I do not have a deep knowledge in this field.

However, it is true that I did use them two times in my life.

Lucky stone business is, I understand, a very profitable business. Like all other businesses, including that of healthcare, the businessmen aspire for profit. So, there can be a lot of promotional talk in this business also.

I wore my first one many years ago, when I was in a very troubled times. It was a time of almost all doors closed, on all sides, with only one small opening beckoning me to go that route and reach off into a far-off location.

This type of door-closing is something that cannot be experienced in any native-English social atmosphere. For, the issue of blocks is not merely one of financial difficulty, but also that of various codes connected to feudal language indicant words. One has to find a very strong location where one can derive the most appropriate levels of ‘respect’ in indicant words. In English, this aspect of social existence is not there. It cannot be understood at all in English.

My problem was not exactly connected to ‘respect’, but of many persons who should have stood stolidly in loyalty to me acting quite weirdly.

I vaguely remember that this first stone which I wore was a Yellow Sapphire known locally as Pushyaraagam. The person who gave me the stone-fixed ring was a professional astrologer of a very different kind from the local variety. He was not from the local state. He was good in English and was an internationally travelled person. He met me to introduce his professional attributes, feeling that I was financially high. However, it soon transpired that I was in deep problems, with total disconnection from my family house and those who could then be described as ‘relatives’.

He gave me a ring with the stone which he mentioned as in sync with my zodiac features. He charged me a nominal amount, which though not small, was not exorbitant.

He gave me an expert advice that I should not allow this stone to be touched by unwarranted persons. He said that these stones have a ‘soul’. If it is touched by others, their features would soil this ‘soul’.

Looking back, I should mention that currently I understand this ‘soul’ as some very specific software code that links to this stone.

I have had a lot of terrific coincidences in my life which are, if taken from the realm of possibility, totally next to impossible.

After a few months, I was walking through a very busy street in a very far off–location. After walking around one kilometre, I suddenly noticed that the ring had fallen off my finger. It was a terrible thing to happen, in the midst of an extremely fragile life-situation. I was literally living in a mood of not knowing where exactly life was taking me to.

My equanimity was lost. I hurried back through the busy roadway, full of rushing people. I walked the same steps through which I had presumably walked. I peered down at each step.

After moving back around ¾ of a kilometre, I suddenly found the ring on the road. Then another extremely terrible coincidence occurred. A person of a particular disposition bent down and picked it up, and started staring at it. He was the type of person who should never have been allowed to touch the ‘soul’ of my ‘stone’ in my ring. I rushed to him and claimed that it was mine. He gave it to me without any demur.

Yet, the damage had been done.

I was quite happy to get the stone back. In fact, I told the curious incident of me getting back the stone after walking the distance in a busy roadway to certain persons in a mood of elation.

Yet, there was indeed something terribly bad going on. I went down in everything possible. In fact, everything I touched was going from bad to worse. And further more, my physical appearance also went down to totally despair-able levels.

After a few months, I disconnected myself with this ‘lucky stone’. Off course, my situation improved. But then, as I had mentioned earlier, I am connected by the codes of my horoscope to Shakata Yogam. The cartwheel rotates, taking me from the heights to the depths and again back to the heights.
