Ratna Jyotish

Ratna Jyotish

In these days, recommendation of Gems & Stones are in vogue. No doubt, market force has necessitated astrologer to make prescription for gems and stones. Despite it, gems and stones have astrological values also and references can be found in Veda-Purana. In my experience, i have also found that gems & stones have astro-remedial value. These have been found bringing betterment in the life. How much betterment will come, it is dependant to the encryption of destiny, mirrored in true horoscope of a native.
