Why Guru (Jupiter) Is Known As Jeeva? – An Article Written By Vishal Aksh


(1) Several times I have told you that Vedic Jyotish is based on {1} Common sense and {2} The knowledge stored in Puranas. Every Vedic Astrologer should have a vision to understand that knowledge of Puranas and apply that to understand the secrets of Vedic Jyotish. Vedic Jyotish has its roots in Vedas and Puranas are best to understand Vedas.

(2) The ancient experts of Jyotish addressed Guru (Jupiter) as Jeeva. I have seen several Vedic astrologers taking the literal meaning of Jeeva as animal and thus Jupiter signifies the entire animal kingdom as per them. It is the wonder of Sanskrit and Jyotish that each meaning of a single Sanskrit word used as a terminology of Jyotish holds good.

(2.1) As per Shivamahapurana the Shresthee Krama (Cycle of creation) on this Mrituloka (Earth) evolves due to Maithuna (Sexual intercourse) and thus in literal mean the Jeeva indicates the product after sexual intercourse between a male and a female and that is why Jupiter is also termed as Santankarka (A planet signifying offspring). But that maithuni Shreesthi was not possible without Shukra (sperm) and the other Guru of Daitya (Devils) Shukra presides over Shukra (Sperm) and sexual intercourse between a male and a female. On this ground it may be considered that the Jeeva (Jupiter) is an evolution of the beeja (Seeds) Shukra (Venus) and thus both the Gurus Jupiter and Venus are responsible for this maithuni Shreesthi prevailing on this earth.

(3) But very few people know the other fact about Guru (Jupiter) being known as Jeeva and that has another great aspect in Vedic Jyotish. In Shivapurana it is written that once to meet Parmatama Shiva both the Devaguru Bristipati and Devaraja Indra went to Kailash and while on the way to Kailash Devaraja Indra saw a yogi in the state of Samadhi (Deep Trance) and then Devraja Indra asked that yogi about the Parmatma Shiva but that Yogi gave no reply even after the repeated queries from Devraja Indra. Devraja Indra took those silent actions of that Yogi as his insult and then he lost his temper and he hit the head of that Yogi by his Vajra (A weapon used by Indra).

(3.1) What was that? As soon as Devraja Indra hit the head of that yogi the countless volcanoes started appearing from the head of that yogi and then Devguru found Indra under the tides of fire emanating from the head of that Yogi.

(3.2) Then Devaguru saw Devraaja Indra by his Karunamayee drishtee (took him at a merciful glance) and that fire started growing and growing and to protect his brilliant disciple Indra that Sadguru saw that Yogi posited in the state of deep trance and he recognized that Yogi by his divine vision.

(3.3) That Yogi was Parmatma Shiva and for the protection of his brilliant disciple Indra the Sadguru (Jupiter) with folded hands was before the Mahaguru of Anantkoti Brhamsnda Shiva. What a divine scene that was!

(3.4) On account of divine prayers performed by Devaguru the Ashutosh Prabhu (A lord who pleases quickly) Shiva pleased & appeased and he then freed Indra from his divine anger.

(3.5) In that way Devguru gave Jeevan Daana (Donated new life) to Indra and that was why Devguru is also known as Jeeva.

(4) The aforesaid Katha (story) as described under (3), (3.1), (3.2), (3.4) & (3.5) indicates an astrological fact. Dear students if you concentrate on this Kaatha (story) and use your common sense you will find that Indra is the divine king and all the Navagrah from Sun to Ketu come under his dominance without him all the Navagrah become powerless and inactive (A Vedic fact) and Devguru Brihispati is the Guru of Indra who protected him from the anger of Parmatma Shiva also protected Navagrah. It clearly indicates that Planet Guru protects Navagrah including himself and thus in any horoscope if an ill disposed planet comes under the aspect of Jupiter it gets protected to give auspicious results. 

(5) Dear students if you want to get the depth of Vedic Jyotish then understand properly what has been written in Vedic literature.
