In application of Gems, both using the Vedic horoscope and in clinical Ayurvedic applications, he is at the forefront of this field. He and Yogamaya developed medical gem therapy lamps for use in the clinic and he is also a founding member of the Planetary Gemologists Association in Bangkok, Thailand. Hamsa has a unique ability to relay this esoteric knowledge in a practical way, allowing his students to understand the core meaning and secrets of this ancient science of divination.
