Brihaspati Mantras

In the higher sense Jupiter is the divine grace, which can fulfill all of our needs without our seeking. He gives religious merit and spiritual beneficence. The other most important aspect of Jupiter is that he gives us true knowledge and wisdom as opposed to information based intelligence, which is the function of Mercury.

The power of Mantras & Shlokas has been acknowledged since time immemorial. A Mantra can consist of a powerful word or a combination of words and can be used for self realization, for freedom from worries, to fulfill one's desires, to ward off the effects of malefic planets, to bring you success, peace and contentment -- the range is truly vast. You can choose for yourself.

The following is the special name (nama) mantra for the Jupiter as preceded by it's Shakti or power mantra. It can be used to connect with the planetary deity and to energize all the higher powers of the Jupiter.  "Om Strim brahm brihaspataye Namah" The word 'Strim' in above mantra denotes Starana Shakti, the power of expanding, unfolding, blossoming and evolving. (The word 'Strim' should be pronounced as 'Streem'.) The following mantras are also considered very good for planet Jupiter. You may opt to recite one of the following mantra if you find it comparatively easy to remember. "Om graam greem graum sah brihasptaye namah" "Om vrim brihaspataye namah" Gayatri Mantra for Jupiter: "Om Suraachaarya Vidmahe, Surasreshtaya dhimahi, tanno guruh prachodayat" This Gayatri mantra consists of three parts.

It is called Sarasvati, the elderly form, at sunset, the consort of Lord Vishnu. You may also opt to chant following Puranic mantra for propiating the Jupiter (19,00 times).
