Do the remedies like Puja or wearing stones really have an impact?

[Smt. Arati asked: Namaskar Swamiji, If we go to an astrologer, they will tell us to do Puja, Shanti and wear stones. Does it really have an impact after doing Puja or wearing stones? Will it cure our problems? Why is being born on Amavasya considered bad, and why is it bad?? Regards, Arati.]

Swami replied:- If you totally surrender to God Datta, anything else is of no use. It is said that if one is born on Amaavaasyaa, the person will become a thief. But, if such person is a devotee of God Datta, he/she will become a thief by stealing the heart of God Datta!
