Guru Kavacham

 

A Guru (Sanskrit: गुरु) is one who is regarded as having great knowledge. Brahaspati (Sanskrit, "lord of prayer or devotion") also known as Brahmanaspati and Deva-guru (guru of the gods), is the name of a Vedic deity. In Hindu mythology, Brahaspati is the Guru of the Devas and the arch-nemesis of Shukracharya, the guru of the Danavas. According to the Shiva Purana Brihaspati is the son of Rishi Angirasa and Surupa. In Hindu Astrology (Jyotisha) Brihaspati is the name for the planet Jupiter, which is one of the Navagraha (Nine Planet).

The Guru Kavacham should be read every Thursday by people in whose horoscope, the Guru is not in a good position or the present position of Guru causes problems.
