Bhruhaspathe --Raagam Ataana-- Thalam--Thriputa

In Tamilnadu Alangudi near Kumbakonam is the place where Guru Bhagawan is worshipped .As His name "Guru" denotes , The planet Guru is huge in size and thereby a slow moving one . It takes nearly a year for Guru to traverse one cusp in our Horoscope .Depending upon the placement therein guru confers health,wealth,life partner ,progeny,power position etc.People by and large categorically talk about "Guru balam" in the horoscope of the near and dear . He stands for all our good actions in our previous birth and the level of our intelligence in this birth .

Dikshithar has composed the song on Guru Bhagavaan in Atana raaga .
