Shri Brihaspati (Guru) Yantra

What is Shri Brihaspati (Guru) Yantra?

The Shri Brihaspati Yantra, also known as the Guru Yantra, is a sacred geometric diagram dedicated to Brihaspati Graha (Planet Jupiter), the planet of knowledge, wisdom, wealth, and spiritual growth. In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is considered the most benefic and auspicious planet, governing education, career success, marriage, finance, and overall good fortune.

When Guru is weak, afflicted, or placed unfavourably in a person's birth chart, it can lead to delays in marriage, financial instability, lack of clarity in decision-making, or obstacles in career and education. The Shri Brihaspati Yantra is worshipped to strengthen the positive influence of Jupiter and reduce the negative effects caused by a malefic or debilitated Guru.

Mantra for Shri Brihaspati (Guru) Yantra

Worshipping the yantra with the correct mantra is essential to activate its positive energy. The most widely recommended Vedic mantra for Guru is:

"Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah"

This mantra should ideally be chanted 19,000 times as part of a complete Brihaspati mantra jaap, or a minimum of 108 times daily, preferably on Thursdays, the day ruled by Jupiter.

An alternate Beej Mantra for Guru is: "Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah"
