The red coral stone has many names - moonga and Praval and is red in colour. It is found abundantly in the shallow sea waters where you have plenty of polyps. These polyps make the reddish deposits on underwater plants which become the coral moongastone. The best moonga stones occur in the seas off the coast of Italy and Japan.

Benefit from the Praval gemstone

The various benefits of the coral stone come from the effect of the planet Mars, which is its ruling planet. Mars, being the god of war, instils confidence and removes fear in the minds of the wearer, especially among children. It makes the person energetic and lazy people start doing work.

People who must wear the coral moonga

The people who must wear this stone are people in leadership such as police officers and those in the army. Since the increase in the strength of Mars offsets the effect of the Mangalik Dosh, women who suffer from menstrual problems will benefit by wearing the moonga gemstone.

The best time and method of wearing the stone

The most optimum time to wear the stone is before sunrise on Tuesday morning. Wear it on the right hand if you are a right-handed person and the left hand if you are left handed. The stone must be set in silver but gold is also permissible. Wear the ring after you do the purification and the empowerment mantras and pooja.

Pooja for purification

For purifying the stone, use Ganga Jal, unboiled milk from a cow, ghee, tulsi leaves, and honey. Say the following mantra 108 times:

Om BhramBhreemBhroomSahBhomayNamah

In addition to this you have to say the beej mantra 9 times each day when you wear it and remove it. This is as follows:

AumBhaumBhaumayeNamahAum
