Budh Graha (Mercury) in Vedic astrology represents intelligence, communication, logic, wit, analytical thinking, and trade. Its position in the horoscope plays a vital role in shaping one’s mental aptitude and communicative skills. When Mercury is afflicted or weak, it can lead to speech disorders, nervous system issues, memory loss, and poor decision-making. To strengthen Budh, chanting the Budh Mantra is a powerful remedy.

After consulting an astrologer, I discovered my Mercury was afflicted by Ketu in the 10th house. I began chanting the Budh Beej Mantra regularly every Wednesday for 40 days. To my surprise, clarity in thought and communication improved significantly. Even my professional growth saw a positive turn. It not only enhanced my confidence but also made me more alert and articulate in daily dealings.
