Guru Chandal Dosha – Meaning, Effects and Easy Remedies
In Vedic astrology, there are some special combinations of planets that can create problems in life. One such combination is called Guru Chandal Dosha. It is one of the major dosha in astrology.
What is Guru Chandal Dosha?
- Guru (Jupiter) the planet of wisdom, education, and good values.
- Chandal means something negative or confusing. In astrology, Rahu or Ketu are called as Chandal planets because they create confusion, illusion, and obsession.
So, when Jupiter and Rahu or Jupiter and Ketu are placed together in the same house in your Kundali (birth chart), it is called as Guru Chandal Dosha.
Why is it a Problem?
Jupiter is a very good planet. It gives knowledge, respect, honesty, and faith. But when it comes close to Rahu or Ketu, its power becomes weak. Rahu and Ketu are like smoke – they create illusion. So, we face problems like
- Get confused easily
- Make wrong decisions
- Disrespect elders or teachers
- Face problems in studies or career
- Lose faith in religion or spirituality
- Get attracted to wrong habits or people
Common Signs of Guru Chandal Dosha
- You face problems in education
- You don’t trust others easily
- You feel lost or confused often
- You don’t get guidance from elders
- Delays in marriage or career
- Problems with money or legal issues
Simple Remedies for Guru Chandal Dosha
- Pray to Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva: Offer water to a Shivling every morning or chant Vishnu Sahasranama on Thursdays.
- Strengthen Jupiter: Wear yellow clothes on Thursdays. Donate bananas, turmeric, yellow dal, or books to poor people.
- Chant Mantras: Chant Jupiter’s mantra “Om Gram Greem Graum Sah Guruve Namah” (108 times) daily. If Rahu is involved, you can also chant “Om Bhram Bhreem Bhroum Sah Rahave Namah”
- Stay Away from Bad Habits: Avoid lying, cheating, or taking shortcuts in life. Try to live a simple and honest life.
- Consult a Good Astrologer: You may be advised to wear a gemstone like Pukhraj (Yellow Sapphire) or do special pujas like Guru Shanti or Rahu-Ketu Shanti.
