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 benefice. He takes the
attitude of his associates.
He gives wit and a flavour 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 cannot 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.
