I have never recommended people to wear stones: Astrologer Ajit V Khawad 

Mumbai: Astrologer Ajit V Khawad has been practising Vastu since 1999 and gradually started learning astrology. He has strong views on one of the most commonly sold remedies in his field, gemstones. Despite being from a jewellery family, he says he has built his astrology practice on refusing to profit from stone recommendations, even when there was money to be made.

“My aim is to earn blessings with money. I never recommend stones to anyone. Even if I recommend someone, which very rarely happens, I don’t tell them to buy from me. I don’t go around recommending people to wear stones,” he said.

His reasoning comes down to how stones behave once worn. “Stone is like a medicine. You have to take it for a long time. Once a person starts wearing it, they keep wearing it, and that’s when the side effects start. They don’t understand why this is happening to them. It was good before, but now it’s getting worse. That is why I never recommend them,” he said.

He recalled a specific instance to back this up. A client had reached out asking for a particular stone. “He called me and said that I want this stone. Because one of my friends who was an astrologer recommended my name. I told him that I have started doing astrology, so he sent me his horoscope. But after checking, I told him that your time is going very well, and you don’t need to take any stone,” he said.

He didn’t hide what that honesty cost him. “If he would have taken that 2 lakh rupee stone from me, I would have got 2-5%, but I told him that you don’t need to take any stone, so he was very happy,” he ended.
