I have wonderful Karma in this life. Why would I benefit from wearing a nava-ratna (nine-gem) bangle or even a frequency bangle?
I want to start this answer with an educational story from the Bhagavad Gita. Blindness prevented Dhritarashtra him from ascending smoothly to the throne that left him with an unfulfillable lifelong craving. So while Dhritrashtra was the titular king, the complex family dynamics and perceived injustices led the Pandavas to desire the throne and ultimately engage in the great war of the Mahabharata to determine the rightful rulers of the kingdom. The Bhagavad-Gita’s start (Chapter 1.01) points to his blindness: as he couldn't see, he had to ask Sanjaya for a battlefield reports.
Arjuna had a different kind of blindness which was circumstantial: When Arjuna saw his many relatives assembled for a fight to the death, he became blind to his responsibilities as a martial guardian of society. He found himself paralyzed (01.46) and perplexed (02.06).
Dhirtarashtra after losing all his sons finally bowed down to Lord Krishna and prayed for information about his misfortunes…… “ I have been limited by blindness, why do I still have to go through with this punishment?”
Then Lord Krishna explained the law of karma to Dhritarashtra, He said,” Rajan, There are three types of Karma-
— Kriyamana Karma
— Sanchita Karma
— Prarabdha Karma
Kriyamana Karma is what we do in everyday life and the result we face in a few days. The other two karmas are related to each other, They stay and get accumulated. Prarabdha Karma is part of sanchit karma that means a collection of past life karma.
After describing the karmas Lord Krishna gives a divine vision to him to see his past 50 births. Dhritrashtra discovered that 50 births back he was a ruthless hunter and once just to have some fun he threw a burning net on a tree full of birds. Thus causing 100 young birds to be burnt to death. While the remaining birds managed to escape, they became blind due to the scorching heat caused by this fire.
Due to the effect of Sanchita Karma, he was destined to remain blind in this Life and also lose his 100 sons.
After listening to Krishna’s enlightening explanation, Dhritrashtra inquired “Krishna why did I not get punished in that birth itself, or the next birth, for the great sin that I had committed? Why now?”
The point of this story for me is that we tend to forget the enormity of different types of karmic return cycles and just as we are living in this pre-destined astrological quantum, transcendental karmic matrix. With mathematically predestined planetary orbits that have varying planetary radiations passing through our chakras. Where the recordings of all our past thoughts, deeds and actions reside. If the planetary conjunctions create a perfect resonance with those recordings of our past karma. They can catalyze for good or bad.
To understand this point more clearly please read The summary of how astrological gemstones work.
For example we can be very prosperous but still have negative relations with family and those we love. It’s a complex algorithm of karmic personal recordings. But more to the point, it is only by Divine intercession through grace in its many forms that we can minimize or annul unpredictable negative karma.
Of course karma is not unpredictable to sage’s such as Swami Sri Yukteswar, but to our own abilities we literally gamble with our life if we do not get on scientifically logical spiritual path and work on the many ways to minimize our negative karma. The blessings of a saint whether in the body or not, sincere prayer, wisdom guided will power, correctly performed pujas, scientific yoga meditation correctly practiced, and correctly weighted gemstone astrological bangles are considered the most efficacious ways. To lessen or nullify negative karma. All of these processes involve grace.
And "Grace" can only be attracted if the individual has the great good karma to activate a process to attract it. The amazing quality of astrological bangles that differentiates it from the other recommended methods is that wearing them requires no effort and that their healing influences carry on long after they have left the body as others can also wear the same bangle with great good fortune. Generating by logic a karmic return for a the purchaser's future life.
However it is only for those who have the well deserved “grace” that can be attracted to the concept of acquiring one. And by greater extension a keen interest in all the above mentioned methods to evolve rapidly with their enthusiastic receptivity.
