Among the 9 planets in Vedic astrology, Budha or Mercury bestows intelligence and skills. If Mercury is exalted in one’s horoscope, one will rise in life through one’s knowledge and cleverness. But if Budha is weak or afflicted, one will not be able to achieve success in one’s career. Budha gives good reasoning and analytical abilities, wit, humor, writing, oratorical, and hand skills. People with a well-placed Mercury in their birth charts will be well-educated and do well in commerce and trade. Mercury afflictions may cause speech problems, lack of concentration in studies, anxiety, and indecisiveness. Chanting this Mantra regularly can bring relief to those who suffer from the adverse effects of Budha Dosha and bestow Mercury’s blessings to those who seek them.
