About Brihaspati Guru:
Thursday is dedicated to Dev Guru Brihaspati. He is the most important planets amongst the nine planets; he is also Guru of all the Devtaas (like Indra, Agni, Pawan etc.). People having a strong Brihaspati in their Kundali will always achieve success and will always lead.
It is believed that if a person does certain things on Thursday, it will bring him good luck. Many rich (so successful) people whom I interviewed shared the practices done by them on Thursday. Let’s find out what these practices are….
Worshipping Lord Vishnu:
Goddess Lakshmi is the wife of Lord Vishnu, so if you have Lord Vishnu’s blessings then there will never be financial crisis in your life. On Thursday wake up early in morning (if possible before sunrise at 4.30 am) light a diya of ghee in front of Lord Vishnu’s idol or picture. You can also chant these mantras 21 or 108 times:
- Om Namah Narayana
- Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaay Namah
- Visit Vishnu temple as well in evening and offer yellow garlands to the Lord.
Kesar or Turmeric:
Always remember to apply a teeka of Kesar or turmeric on your forehead before going out of the house. You can use kesar as teeka on daily basis as well. Mix it with chandan and keep it also add some turmeric in it.
Donations:
Always remember yellow is the colour of Guru Brihaspati. Donating yellow coloured will be fruitful for you.
You can donate yellow clothes (a towel) to some sadhu ji or pandit ji in temples. You can also donate yellow coloured pulses(arhar daal or chana daal) to some poor. Bananas are also a good option for donation to poor.
Lord Shiva’s Pooja:
Offering yellow laddoos on Thursday to Lord Shiva will make him happy and he will shower you with his blessings. This will bring prosperity to your life.
Banana Tree:
These trees have a great impact on hindu rituals, banana leaves are used in many poojas. Praying to banana tree makes you healthy and keeps you free from illness.
Yellow coloured clothes:
Always try to wear yellow coloured clothes on Thursday, this will keep your mood light. As yellow colour is the colour of Guru Brihaspati. This will absorb positive energy from the nature and make you prosperous.
