Shiva Om Dear Friends,

Removal of your Gemstones worn for Astrological purposes for a short period does not matter. That includes while taking a bath. It does not lose its power or its innate ability to be benefic. In fact it is strongly suggested that one should remove his or her Gemstones prior to visiting any place where there is a Dead Body. The Gemstone should be then re worn only after having come back and taken a head bath and chanting the Beej ( Seed ) Mantra of the Gemstone.

However, one needs to bear in mind that this should not become a habit and especially you should not forget to re wear the Gemstone ring. Otherwise it will become an acute problem and the very purpose for which you have worn the Astrological Gemstone ring will wither away.

In my experience I have noticed that people initially do remove it for small periods of time and then over a period of time one simply tends to forget and then do not wear the Astrological Gemstones for a prolonged period of time. It is only then that the positive effects of the Gemstone are not felt and one needs to be aware of this aspect. Hence, many a time Astrologer’s opine that one should not remove the Gemstone at any given point of time.

Just for the sake of your knowledge most of the Gemstones are not harmed by mild hot water or any kind of a Soap or Shampoo. So if you continue wearing them in the course of your bath also it is okay.

Sincerely hoping that this Blog has answered the question posed effectively.

Shivam Kalyanam.
