This mantra holds profound spiritual significance and is often chanted a specific number of times, such as 108, 1008, or even 19000, depending on individual beliefs and practices.
Alongside the chanting of the mantra, it is customary to engage in acts of charity, particularly donating food to the underprivileged, such as poor children and elderly people. This act of kindness is seen as a way to honor the benevolent qualities of Guru and to spread positivity and abundance in society.
Furthermore, those observing Thursday vrat (fast) often adorn themselves with rings made of Pukhraj (yellow sapphire) or Mothi (pearl), as these gemstones are associated with Brihaspati and are believed to enhance the blessings received from Guru.
By following these rituals and observances on Thursdays, devotees seek guidance, wisdom, and blessings from Guru to lead a righteous and fulfilling life.
