H. P. Blavatsky
Brihaspati. The name of a Deity, also of a Rishi. It is like wise the name of the planet Jupiter. He is the personified Guru and priest of the gods in India ; also the symbol of exoteric ritualism as opposed to esoteric mysticism. Hence the opponent of King Soma — the moon, but also the sacred juice drunk at initiation — the parent of Budha, Secret Wisdom.
