Our Policy on Gemstones
25 Years of Authentic Astrological Practice
At Sri Hari Om Astrology Center, we believe that astrology is a sacred science rooted in accurate calculations, deep analysis, and spiritual understanding. Our approach to gemstones is guided by authenticity, ethics, and transparency.
Understanding Gemstones: Beauty, Culture & Tradition
Gemstones have captivated humanity for millennia, serving as symbols of beauty, status, and spiritual connection across diverse cultures. These precious minerals, formed deep within the Earth over millions of years, possess unique optical properties that create their mesmerizing colors and brilliance. From the fiery red of rubies to the serene blue of sapphires, each gemstone carries its own distinct character and charm.
Natural gemstones are rare geological wonders, formed under specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and mineral composition
Throughout history, gemstones have adorned royal crowns, sacred artifacts, and fine jewelry, representing power, protection, and prosperity
In Vedic tradition, the Navaratna (nine gems) represent the nine celestial bodies, symbolizing cosmic harmony and planetary energies
Modern gemology combines ancient wisdom with scientific analysis, ensuring authenticity through advanced testing methods
Each gemstone possesses unique physical properties including hardness, refractive index, specific gravity, and crystal structure
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, gemstones serve as investments, family heirlooms, and personal expressions of style and taste
While we deeply respect the cultural and historical significance of gemstones in astrological traditions, our approach emphasizes informed choice, transparency, and ethical guidance—ensuring that your gemstone selection is based on genuine appreciation rather than commercial pressure.
We Do Not Recommend Gemstones as Remedies
We follow a strict, principle-based approach where gemstones are not prescribed as astrological remedies (Pariharam). According to our astrological ethics:
- Gemstones are not magical solutions for karma, planetary placements, or horoscope doshas
- Wearing stones cannot replace traditional remedies such as mantra, homam, dharma, discipline, and spiritual practices
- We avoid misleading or commercial suggestions that burden people financially
- Gemstones alone cannot change planetary results, solve life problems, or guarantee success
Why We Allow Gemstones in Our Practice
Although we do not recommend gemstones for pariharam, we understand that many individuals are drawn to stones for personal reasons. We recommend gemstones only under these categories:
Personal Liking & Heart Connection
If you naturally feel connected to certain colors, textures, or energies, we support your choice
Passion for Collecting Stones
For stone lovers, collectors, or enthusiasts, we help you choose based on your taste — not astrology
Style, Look & Aesthetic Preference
For fashion, jewelry, color compatibility, and personal styling without connecting it to astrological results
Based on Your Financial Comfort
We recommend stones suitable to your budget with no compulsion or financial pressure to purchase high-value stones
Artificial Diamonds & Fashion Stones
Lab-made diamonds and color stones for appearance, interest, and symbolic joy — never for remedies
Our Ethical Promise
At Sri Hari Om Astrology Center, every recommendation is made with honesty and responsibility. We assure that:
- We never promote gemstones as guaranteed remedies
- We ensure no customer is financially exploited by unnecessary gemstone advice
- All suggestions are transparent, based solely on your personal preference and comfort
- We do not blame or criticize other astrologers who recommend gemstones as remedies
- We fully respect different methodologies and professional beliefs in astrology
Our Approach to Holistic Remedies
Instead of gemstone-based remedies, we focus on authentic astrological guidance that brings real transformation:
- Vedic astrological analysis with accurate calculations
- Birth time correction for precise predictions
- Practical pariharam based on traditional methods
- Mantra, meditation & spiritual guidance
- Lifestyle and psychological advice
- Career, marriage, education, health & life path counseling

We share this knowledge for educational and cultural purposes, not as astrological remedy prescriptions.
Our Philosophy
Gemstones are symbols of beauty, joy, and personal expression. At our center, we celebrate their aesthetic and emotional value — not their commercial myth. We believe that inner transformation, not gemstones, brings real change in life.
