I may try to list out the 108 names of Jupiter with meanings later, after the New Jersey workshop. For now, I will give my favorite stotra - the twenty-five-name-hymn of Jupiter that was taught by Sri Krishna. This is apparently from Vishnu Dharmottara Purana. I have uploaded it in mp3 audio format at vedic astrologymantras Go there and you'll see guru25.mp3 file. If there is a problem in playing it by clicking on it, save it to your computer ("Save target as") and then play it from your computer. I used only 16 kbps for coding and so it is only 123 kB. I am enclosing two gif's showing the text in Devanagari (Sanskrit) script (guru25_d.gif) and Roman script (guru25_r.gif). These are very small. Meanings: Sree bhagavaanuvaacha = the Lord (Krishna) said thus brihaspatih = lord of wisdom suraachaaryah = preceptor of gods dayaavaan = merciful one SubhalakshaNah = one with auspicious qualities lokatrayaguruh = preceptor of the three worlds sreeman = prosperous one sarvajnah = omniscient one (who knows all) sarvakovidah = skilled in all subjects sarvesah = lord of all beings sarvadah = one who gives all (or one who gives to all ) abheeshtah = the most desired, wished and prayed one sarvajit = conqueror of all sarvapoojitah = prayed by all akrodhanah = one who does not become angry munisreshthah = the greatest of all sages and monks neetikartaa = one who creates ethics guruh = the great/foremost/expansive one (also means a preceptor) pitaa = father (giver of life) viswaatmaa = the soul of the universe viswakartaa = one who causes the universe viswayonih = the womb (or the center of procreation) of the universe ayonijah = one who is not born from a womb (i.e. born by himself) bhoorbhuvassuvarom chaiva bhartaa = one who bears the three worlds jeevah = the life force mahaabalah = the mighty, strong and powerful one The remaining text = These 25 auspicious names were praised by Vishnu when he was sitting in Nanda's house. If one chants it in the morning , Jupiter will be pleased. Whoever listens to this will no doubt be blessed with long life and get the result of donating thousand cows, said Vishnu.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Dear Narasimha Ji, Thanks for the Jupiter Mantra MP3.I think in the gif files the last two lines of the mantra are missing.I like to read along with the MP3 to learn correct pronunciation.Hope you will look into the same.
