Guru (Jupiter) Yagya

Guru (Jupiter Yagya), is performed to honor the planet Jupiter (Guru or Brihaspati) according to Hindu astrology. In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is considered a significant planet, representing wisdom, knowledge, prosperity, and spirituality. Performing a Guru Yagya is believed to seek its blessings.

It involves offerings of various things, such as ghee, herbs, and grains, into a holy fire while chanting specific mantras and prayers. The Yagya ceremony is performed to create a connection between the individual and the divine energies, seeking blessings, protection, and spiritual growth.

A Guru Yagya specifically focuses on invoking the blessings of Jupiter. It is often performed to reduce the negative effects of Jupiter in an individual's birth chart or to enhance the positive influence of Jupiter. People may choose to perform a Guru Yagya for various reasons, such as seeking wisdom, knowledge, academic success, professional growth, financial stability, and overall spiritual well-being.

The specific rituals, mantras, and procedures followed in a Guru Yagya can vary depending on the tradition, the preferences of the individual or the priest performing the Yagya, and the specific astrological considerations.
