Burn Doubt and Fear with Ruby, the Sun Stone

Do you want to drive away the darkness of self-doubt and bad health, and invite confidence and wealth into your life? Ruby or manik stone might just be perfect for you.

Ruby, known as 'Ratnaraj' in Sanskrit, meaning the king of gems, has been cherished for its striking beauty and its symbol of power and vitality. The Mughals adorned their royal jewelry with rubies to mark their dynasties, while the Imperial State Crown of Queen Elizabeth II boasts a prominent ruby called the "Black Prince's Ruby." With its association with the Sun, ruby is believed to ignite the wearer's inner fire, unleashing their true potential and elevating their status in all spheres of life.

Origin

Rubies are born from the depths of the Earth, formed in metamorphic rocks subjected to intense heat and pressure. These gems are born from the mineral corundum, colored by traces of chromium, giving them their iconic red color. The most sought-after rubies come from the mines of Myanmar (Burma). Other notable sources include Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique.

How to energize

To harness the full potential of your ruby or manik stone, energize it using traditional methods. Immerse your ruby in raw cow's milk and holy Ganga Jal, or a mixture of curd, milk, honey, tulsi leaves, and ghee for a few minutes. Rinse again with Ganga Jal and gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Finally, chant the Surya Mantra “Om hram hrim hraum sah suryaya namah” 108 times while holding/wearing ruby.

Which day to wear

In Vedic astrology, Sunday is considered the most auspicious day to wear ruby, as it is ruled by the Sun. Ideally, the gemstone should be worn on a Sunday morning during Pushya Nakshatra, between 6 and 8 AM. This timing aligns with the Sun's cosmic influence, amplifying the ruby's power to bring success, vitality, and leadership qualities to the wearer.

Which finger/hand to wear

To maximize the benefits of your ruby, wear it on the ring finger of your right hand. This placement allows the gemstone's energy to stimulate the root chakra and enhance sense of self-confidence, courage, and determination. A ruby worn on the right hand is believed to attract wealth, fame, and recognition, while also improving relationships with father figures and authority.

How to use - who should wear

Ruby is an excellent choice for those seeking to boost their professional success, financial status, and overall well-being. 

It is particularly beneficial for individuals in leadership positions, such as politicians, executives, and entrepreneurs, as it enhances their authority and charisma. 

Students preparing for competitive exams can also benefit from wearing ruby, as it sharpens focus and concentration. 

Those born with a weak placement of the Sun in their birth chart may find ruby especially helpful in balancing their energies.
