Before commencing the article, I would like to bow down to god and express my humble gratitude to my Jyotish Guru Shri Alok Khandelwal. Gaj kesari yoga is one of the important yogas in Vedic Jyotish and is an interesting one to study and understand. It also has a wider mention across multiple astrological texts.<\/p>\n
Gaj Kesari has an interesting signification behind its name. Gaj is haathi (elephant) and Kesari is sher (lion) and both elephant and lion are the major powers in a jungle, hence this is one of the supreme yogas in Vedic astrology. There is another view that one lion can overpower multiple elephants and hence the native having this yoga demonstrates a similar power. Whichever way one looks at this yoga, both the lion and the elephant are well-respected forces in the jungle for their boldness, being courageous, for their dignity and these are the same results that a native having a strong GajKesari yoga gets.<\/p>\n

So when our mind (which is the Moon), is in kendras with the karaka of Gyan Guru (Jupiter), then what resides in the mind gets converted to wisdom due to the blessings of Guru.<\/p>\n Gaj Kesari doesn\u2019t always imply more money, but it is about comfort in life, whatever the native is doing in life, it is about giving power to the same \u2013 it is like the majestic walk of a carefree elephant, like living your life fearlessly. Moon, which is a fast-moving planet, takes about 28 days to move around all 12 signs or rashis. This implies that Moon stays in one sign for approx. 2.33 days. During its journey, Jupiter may be in Kendra to Moon 4 times during this duration of approx. 28 days which implies 4 x 2.33 days = approx. 9.32 days out of 28 days which is 1\/3 rd (33%) of the time. This means that 33% of people or 1 in every 3 people will have Moon in Kendras from Jupiter.<\/p>\n Now add to this the number of times Jupiter will be in Kendra from Lagna (ascendant) \u2013 this implies that this yoga should ideally be present in the horoscopes of a lot of people. But does this also imply that will this yoga give supreme results in all such horoscopes? No \u2013 that is not the case, let\u2019s understand why?<\/p>\n Read Also:- 5, Things About Vedic Astrology You Should Know.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Apart from Jupiter being in Kendra from Moon or Lagna, there are a set of conditions that need to be filled for this yoga to give better results:<\/p>\n Below is an excerpt from some of the ancient texts about this yoga.

Rao has exalted Jupiter and Moon in Kendra. The 10th lord Moon with Lagna lord Venus is in Lagna. Again we can see there is a strong GajKesari yoga forming here as well.
