Simple prayers for Thursday

Simple prayers for Thursday
The planet governing Thursday is Guru also called as Brahaspathi and Vyazhan. You need pray two prayers to planet and three to one of the three gods.
(I started posting last Thursday onwards. With this I complete the simple payers to be chanted any convenient time of the day for all the seven days of the week. You can choose other similar prayers of your liking and of your language but I wish that all of you believe in our gods pray daily. Sorry , if I have bored you)
Guru
Pray Guru
Deva-naam cha Rishi Naam cha Gurum kaanchana sannibham,
Buddhi Bhootam Trilokesham Tam Namaami Brihaspatim
My salutations to Jupiter,
Who is teacher of devas and sages,
Who is equal in shine to gold,
Whose soul is intellect,
And who is the lord of all three worlds.
Guru gayatri
Om vrishabadhwajaaya vidmahae
kruni hastaaya dheemahi
tanno guru: prachodayaat
Om, Let me meditate on him who has bull in his flag,
Oh, He who has power to get things done, give me higher intellect,
And let Guru illuminate my mind.
