This 27-bead Navaratna Wist Mala with gold kamala caps, chain and clasp, is both beautiful and auspicious.

 

The Bearer of Good Health, Prosperity Happiness and Peace of Mind, Navaratna refers to the nine gemstones related to the nine planets used in Vedic astrology. Nava means ‘nine’ and ratna means ‘gem’ in the Sanskrit language. These nine planets are the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. (These last two ‘shadowy planets’ of Vedic astrology correspond to the ascending and descending nodes of the Moon respectively).

 

The nine different stones in this Navaratna neclace correspond to each one of the nine planets. They are Garnet, Pearl, Carnelian, Aventurine, Citrine, Crystal, Lapis, Amethyst, and Tiger Eye.

When only one astrological gemstone is worn, it tends to focus on a particular planet or specific problem. When a setting of gemstones corresponding to the nine planets is worn, it offers extraordinary protection because it can deliver the benefits of all the nine planetary gemstones simultaneously.

 

The Navaratna talisman is designed to ward off negative energies and effects and to strengthen the positive influences that the nine planets and their respective gemstones deliver. One can wear it in expectation of good health, prosperity, increased happiness and peace of mind.
