Mantras for Mercury (Budha)

Mercury, known as Budha represents `buddhi’ – intelligence, whereas the Moon (Chandra) signifies the innocent mind. Mercury is a karaka or indicator of intelligence, commerce, education, writing, books, humour, scholars, orators, lawyers and consultants. Budha closely follows Sun (Ravi) – either he is ahead or rising behind Ravi. Budhaditya yoga, for that reason is found in many charts. This is also known as Nipuna yoga. Budha gives proficiency (Nipunata) in many subjects. It is up to the native how he would use such talents. He can become a successful detective or choose to be a thief! Due to this Budha is not classified as malefic or a benefic. He takes the attitude of his associates.

He gives wit and a flavor for jokes. Intellect is born out of imagination and wisdom, that is the meaning of the story that Moon representing imagination abducting Tara, wife of Guru (Jupiter). Budha hates Chandra which means the evaluated intelligence overthrows innocence and imagination. The successful critics can not become creative writers! Budha when afflicted or badly placed causes mental problems, skin diseases and misunderstandings with relatives. Propitiation measures to Budha gives high intelligence, fast reading skills and cools down mental anxiety.

The Mercury Mantra Sadhana should be started on sarwarthsiddhi yoga day falling on Wednesday. The devotee should wear clothes of green yellowish colour (colour of banana’s new leaf) of cotton or silk.

The mantra is to be recited for nine thousand times. The time to recite the mantra is five in the evening. Sugar balls are offered to the deity of the mantra as offerings. The sadhana should end on Wednesday. On the last day, articles of Mercury are donated to Brahmins, within the first four hours of sunrise. The sage of this Mantra is agni, the metre is pankti and the deity is budh.
