- As I write this in the month of March 2025, I expect gold to rise very significantly in the next few years.
- Sometimes we may give a quote and the gold price could jump $60 in the following few days.
- Consequently if after you have received a quote by email and you wish to proceed, please make payment within 5 working days and confirm with us by email that you will do so. The gold price is stable to within 40$ we can keep the quote as it is.
- We send out the payment info with the quote and do not accept paypal.
- The gold wire weighs just over one ounce of pure 24 karat gold in the Self-Realisation fellowship astrological bangle.
- Consequently because gold has an import tax placed on it in India of 6% over the spot price the gold wire is over 95% of the cost of the bangle.
- On top of that the gold bullion supplier can add a premium of 2 or 3%.
- The making of the bangle will cost $150. As it also takes for security reasons an extra 1 or 2 individuals to watch over the jeweller to ensure no gold gets filed or shaved off the gold wire etc.
- Then there is the shipping with insurance costs which we don’t quote for unless the request supplies an address. So essentially to make a three metal astrological bangle in India one can anticipate the cost to be at least $550 over the spot price of gold as found on www.kitco.com
When I purchased my first three metal astrological bangle in 1976, it cost $230 !. Realistically because Swami Sri Yukteswar did not wear a three metal bangle but chose to wear the nine gemstone astrological bangle instead . And because he regarded this instrument to be much more powerful. It is getting to the historical situation where we can make a nine gemstone astrological bangle for the same price or a $1000 more (depending on your horoscope). It is important to understand that though the three metal bangle is a wonderful instrument for karmic minimisation. It only represents helping three planets in your chart whereas the nine-gem astrological bangle supplements and harmonises the radiations from nine planets.
It is our view that the optimal way to use astrological bangles is after you have learnt how to do Kriya yoga and are focused on your spiritual path, is to take advantage of both bangles with the preference for the nine gem bangle first. Please remember as a great example Paramahansa wore 3 astrological bangles. He wore a nine gem astrological bangle, a lead and silver bangle and the three metal astrological bangle.
Surprisingly our research is also strongly suggesting that individuals acquire a pure silver necklace chain as another harmonising instrument of karmic minimisation.
And also please do not think getting them is a selfish acquisition. Not only do they help those around them that wear them, but they are designed to last several lifetimes and you will be passing them onto some very grateful individuals. And consequently get that karma back in a future life!!
