Guru Chandal yoga is spoken of in Vedic astrology when Jupiter and Rahu join in a birth chart. This pujan offers Guru and Rahu shanti with sankalp, Brihaspati pujan, mantra jaap and havan, performed by Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji in Ujjain.
Significance
Guru (Jupiter) is the planet of wisdom, teachers, dharma and good fortune. Rahu is the planet of illusion and restlessness. In Vedic astrology, when the two come together the yoga is called Guru Chandal, and it is said that judgement can become clouded, or that respect for teachers and elders may be tested.
Tradition suggests worship of Brihaspati and Vishnu on Thursdays, Guru mantra jaap, service to teachers and offerings of yellow items, together with Rahu shanti. Not every conjunction is read the same way, so Guruji reviews your chart first and tells you honestly what he sees.
Ujjain, the Avantika of the Skanda Purana and a centre of learning since ancient times, is considered by devotees a fitting place for this pujan. It is a devotional offering and no outcome is promised.

Questions about this pujan
What is Guru Chandal yoga?
It is the name given in Vedic astrology to the conjunction of Jupiter (Guru) and Rahu. Its effect is read differently by different astrologers, so Guruji studies your chart before advising.
Is anything else suggested alongside the pujan?
Tradition suggests respectful service to teachers and elders and Thursday worship. These are gentle suggestions, not conditions.
Can I join from abroad?
Yes. Choose the online package and the pujan is done in your name, with live video or a recording.
