Benefits of Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)
Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) strengthens Guru, which signifies wisdom, children, wealth and good fortune. It helps when Guru rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Guru rules the 6th, 8th or 12th, strengthening it can do harm.
Energise
On the first morning, wash in raw milk and Ganga jal, light a lamp and chant Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah 108 times, then wear it.
