After a bath, sit facing east at dawn and chant "Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah" 108 times on a mala, ideally on Thursday. As a full remedy for a weak or afflicted Jupiter (Brihaspati / Guru), the mantra is traditionally completed as a japa of 19,000 repetitions over a fixed period, alongside the charity (daan) associated with the planet and, after consulting an astrologer, the wearing of its gemstone (Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)). Chant with faith and a calm, satvik discipline.
Origin & History
Source: The Vedic Navagraha mantra of Jupiter (Brihaspati / Guru)
Author: Traditional (Vedic Jyotish)
In Vedic astrology (jyotish) the nine grahas shape the course of life, and each has its own mantra for blessing and remedy. "Om Brim Brihaspataye Namah" is the mantra of Jupiter (Brihaspati / Guru), which governs wisdom, knowledge, fortune, wealth, children, marriage and dharma. When the planet is weak or malefic in the horoscope, sages prescribed chanting its mantra — together with charity, fasting on its day (Thursday), worship of its deity and its gemstone (Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj)) — to strengthen its grace and soften its difficulties.
