"The Sun manifests his brilliance in a ruby although it is a gem." Sri Brahma-Samhita : 5.49
GEM: A natural pearl, coral, shell or mineral that is valued for its durability, rarity, portability, beauty, perfection or astrological influence.
GEMOLOGY: The study of gems.
PLANETARY GEMOLOGY: Ancient Vedic science of the relationship between 9 GEMS and 9 PLANETS recognised in sidereal astrology and ayurveda.
PLANETARY GEMOLOGIST (PG): A practitioner of Planetary Gemmology; one who knows BOTH the physical and metaphysical properties of gems.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The "Graha-anukul ratna-vishesh-ajna 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 threefold,...
1) To bring order and positive worldwide attention to this ancient science, Planetary Gemology, which is one of the 64 Asian arts, associated with 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."
For information about joining or supporting the Planetary Gemologists Association please contact: PGA's ACTING SECRETARY, Richard S. Brown, GIA, PG mailto:rsb@p-g-a.org
