Before wearing Navaratna Ring one has to consult an astrologer who has sound
knowledge on this aspect. Otherwise it gives bad effects. One of my close friends
suffered from cancer after wearing a Navaratna Ring out of fashion and fancy without
consulting an astrologer. Only when one of our relatives explained the impact of it,
people could understand it. He explained in a detail about various facts starting from
the gems should be original and completely defectless. Unless one has experience,
it will be very difficult to find out the originality. He suggested the arrangement in
the following ways i.e. diamond, emerald, ruby, pearl, coral, cat’s eye, sapphire, topaz,
and hessonite. Though it is assumed that a Navaratna Rings brings happiness,
prosperity, etc. one has to be very sure of its originality and defect free. It is also
said that the ring would enhance the effects of planets. Only after ascertaining the
position, one should find out an auspicious day and time to wear the ring. Further,
a puja has to be performed for it before wearing. Normally any goldsmith will
know the order of its arrangement. While wearing one has to chant a Mantra
i.e. Om Bhaskaraya namaha, Chandraya namaha, Budhaya namaha, Brihaspataya namaha,
Mangalaya namaha, Shukraya namaha, Shaneeswaraya namaha, Rahuave namaha,
Ketuave namaha, Nava grahaya namaha. This mantra has to be chanted by the
person who wears it has to chant the above mantra for a mandalam atleast 108 times
a day.
