Just For Diamonds

Kohinoor, which is the costliest diamond of the world, has a history of passing luck or ill luck to its entire list of possessors. The history goes like this…

The most important metropolitan of Delhi was primarily recognized as Hastinapur, formed towards south where Qutab Minar was built up. It was established around 1000 BC to 3000 BC and it can be traced from the Hindu epic of the Mahabharta, where the very last dynasty of Emperor Parikshat (Parikshit) ruled and the epoch was popularly known as the one with truth and justice.

Emperor Parikshat passed the Kohinoor Jewel to his son Janmejya. It distorted hands from sire to son with a range of territorial developments that occurred at the same time with changing hands of the celebrated precious stone called Kohinoor Diamond. It just about moved from one ruler to another. In due course, this prominent Kohinoor Diamond of unparalleled jewel worth knocked down into the hands of British authorities. This piece of jewelry was either captured or snatched.

This diamond weighs over 240 carats and it was formerly in the possession of Surya Rishi also known as the sun-god. He had to do immense meditation near a region of southern India called the Golconda mines in modern India. The first person to snatch the Kohinoor was the Persian king Nadir Shah from the King of Malwa. It is believed that the Kohinoor was initially found on the banks of Godavari when the king found it in 1304.

All those kings who wanted the Kohinoor knew the importance from the luck point of view. Mohammad Shah was so adamant about the diamond that he used to hide it in his turban. We are all aware about the turban trick in history between Nadir Shah and Mohammad Shah. During the early nineteenth century, the ruler of Kabul, Shah Shuja succeeded in seizing the diamond and after his imprisonment, the diamond was taken over by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Dalip Singh, the youngest son of Ranjit Singh was the last Indian to possess the Kohinoor, but in the year 1849 it was captured by the British authorities.

The East India Company shipped the diamond to England the Queen was presented with this diamond on the 3rd of July, 1851. Today it is in a reduced form and is placed along with 1800 diamonds on the Queen’s crown. All of the British kings and queens, who had it, never knew the proper procedure to preserve it and hence it is more of a curse now than a blessing.

The diamond belongs to the planet Saturn,which is a slow planet and hence it takes about 10 to 25 years in order to show its effects. Maharaja Ranjit Singh got this precious stone in 1813 and it affected him after 25 years and he suffered from a paralyzed attack in 1839 and died in the same year. In 1849, exactly after 10 years, the British forces toppled his kingdom, which was controlled by members of his family.

The effect of Kohinoor makes females or queens more possessive, self centered and self-seeking, forcing them to lose some territory, reputation and brings unhappiness at home, breaks home and ultimately may end the monarchy as per my occult reading of this Gem.

The Great Britain, whether they admit or not, had to struggle hard to save their reputation. They had to struggle hard to retain possession of the Falkland Islands also known in Spanish as the Islas Malvinas. The Falklands consist of two large and many small islands in the South Atlantic Ocean east of Argentina, whose ownership had long been a big question mark. The UK had to confront with Argentina from 19th March to14th June 1982 in a war known as “Falklands War”.

The great Britain had also to surrender the colony of Hong Kong to China in 1997, faced the tragedy of Prince Diana in the same year, suffered reputation in Iraq attack in 2003, by facing the wrath of their people, and then new marriage of Prince Charles with Camila in 2005 and uncertainty of future King of England.

Probably, no future for the young generation whether Prince Charles or his sons. Her Majesty the Queen of England, probably, wishes to serve and stay till her last breath. Hence Kohinoor is not lucky even for the Queens than the Kings as universally believed unless they observe and maintain the purity of the diamond.
