Salutations to Mercury
About This Mantra
Om Budhaya Namaha invokes Budha (Mercury), the graha of intellect, communication, commerce, adaptability, and analytical thinking. Mercury governs the capacity to learn, process information, and articulate ideas with precision. In Jyotish, Budha rules Gemini and Virgo and is the karaka for speech, writing, mathematics, business acumen, and the nervous system.
How to Chant
Chant in a clear, articulate voice -- Mercury responds to precision and clarity. Green clothing or a green cloth for the meditation seat honors Mercury. The mantra can be chanted before study, writing, important communications, or business negotiations to sharpen the intellect. Students and writers benefit from chanting this mantra as a daily practice.
