Story Of Brihaspati

Story Of Brihaspathi Navagraha are nine heavenly bodies and deities that influence human life on Earth according to Hinduism and Hindu astrology. The sage Brihaspati is the Navagraha deity representing the giant planet Jupiter. He is a wise god who is considered to be the lord of sacred speech. Due to his immense wisdom, he was appointed as the mentor of all the devas and thus he is also known as Guru Brihaspati. Hence Thursday is called both Brihaspativaar and Guruvaar which is the day associated with the deity. Brihaspathi being the official Guru of the Devas was concerned with the consistent war between the Devas and the Asuras. Although the Devas had consumed the Amrit from the Samudra Manthan, The Asuras with the help of their Guru Shukracharya would rise from the dead with to his Mrita Sanjeevani mantra.
