The Budh (Mercury) Yagya is a ritual performed to alleviate the negative effects of the planet Mercury in one’s horoscope. Mercury governs speech, intellectual clarity, communication, and various mental processes. Having a strong Mercury can enhance intelligence, wit, memory retention, and proficiency in multiple fields. However, an unfavorable position of Mercury can lead to discouragement, memory loss, thinking problems, and decision-making difficulties. The Yagya aims to seek blessings from the planet Mercury and mitigate its adverse influences.

The Budh Yagya is particularly recommended for individuals with Gemini and Virgo ascendants or Moon signs. It is performed regularly to counter the negative effects of Mercury’s transit or Dasa. By conducting this ritual, one seeks to receive the blessings of Budh Graha and neutralize its malefic effects. The Yagya is often accompanied by chanting the Budh Mantra.

Mercury is associated with various professions like business, astrology, journalism, accounting, editing, etc. It is also considered the most intelligent of all planets. The Yagya is beneficial for those experiencing intellectual problems, mental blocks, memory loss, or diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Ideally, the Budh Yagya is performed on Wednesdays for faster results.
