Mercury is the great messenger of the Gods. He is the planet, which represents speech, communication and commerce on all levels. In his lower function he organises and articulates material resources. On a higher level he connects us with our inner capacities--the powers of the mind.
"Om Aim Bum Budhaya Namah"
The word 'Aim' in above mantra denotes Vachana Shakti, the power of articulation, calling, guiding and teaching.
The following mantras are also considered very good for planet Mercury. You may opt to recite one of the following mantra if you find it comparatively easy to remember.
"Om braam breem braum sah budhaya namah"
"Om bum budhaaya namah"
The mantras are chanted on japa beads of 108 beads per string. They are similar to rosaries.
The Mercury's mantra may be recited 9,000 times within 21 days and puja performed with various flowers. Begin recitation on a Wednesday during the bright half of the Moon.
Gayatri Mantra for Mercury:
"Om Budhagrahaya vidmahe, Indu putraya dhimahi, tanno somya prachodayat"
This Gayatri mantra consists of three parts. The first is the chants to the Mercury. The second is the mantra proper. The third is a summary of the mantra's energies.
The Gayatri mantra is chanted at sunrise, noon and sunset. At dawn it is called Gayatri, the youthful form of the Goddess, consort of Lord Brahma, the creator. It is called Savitri, the mature form, at noon, the consort
of Lord Shiva. It is called Sarasvati, the elderly form, at sunset, the consort of Lord Vishnu.
You may also opt to chant following Puranic mantra for propiating the Mercury (4,000 times).
Priyangava-gulikashyam rupena pratimambudam
saumyam saumya-gunopetam tani pranamamy aham
