Gaja Keshari yoga is one of the auspicious yogas, rightfully considered royal.This yoga is formed when Jupiter is placed in a Kendra from the Moon (in the 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th house). Yoga will manifest itself most strongly at the conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon.

• It gives its owner a high position in society, wealth, success, respect for others, wisdom and great inner strength.
• The term "Gaja-kesari" consists of two words: "Gaja", which means elephant, and "Kesarin", which means lion. A person with this combination is like an elephant in its importance and majesty, and a lion in its power and might.

The results of Gaja Keshari Yoga as follows:
"A person with this yoga will be a leader by nature, a long-liver, wealthy, prosperous, virtuous, generous, friendly, educated, honored and respected."

The result of this yoga will manifest itself primarily in the spheres of the houses that participate in it, as well as in periods associated with the Moon, Jupiter and the rulers of these houses.

The fruits of this yoga, like others, can manifest themselves in varying degrees. The results of Gaja Keshari yoga will depend on the strength of the planets involved in it, the number of bindus, the influence of auspicious and inauspicious planets, the strength of the lagna and lagnesh. The results of yoga will be spoiled if the Moon or Jupiter are in the dusthanas, or are their rulers. Jupiter retrograde will also weaken this yoga somewhat.

Cinclusions

It's important to note that while Gaj Kesari Yoga is considered auspicious, its strength and impact can vary based on the overall strength of Jupiter, its placement in specific signs, aspects, and other factors in the birth chart. Additionally, individual experiences may vary, and astrology is a tool for self-reflection rather than a deterministic science.

For a comprehensive analysis of Gaj Kesari Yoga and its specific implications in a particular birth chart, it's recommended to consult with a qualified Vedic astrologer.
