The Rig Veda, which is the oldest book written by man on earth has mentioned the word Ratna (Gems), in its first sloka, called manthra. The Gems are such adored world over that people of all religions, languages and communities have always been enchanted by the marvelous utilities of them down the ages.
Irony is, the thought process on human afflictions and diseases in Ayurveda and Asrology is much profound and modern science will have to traverse long stages to equate that. According to Ayurveda and Astrology, reasons behind the human ailments are not considered to be the bacteria alone, but also the effects of the actions in one’s lifetime, which is called karmaja. It is said: “Poorvajanma Kritang paapong byadhi rupena baadhitaa”.[/color]
