Mars (Mangal) is the planet of energy, courage, strength, and action in Vedic astrology. A well-placed Mars bestows confidence, leadership, and determination, while a weak or afflicted Mars can cause aggression, impulsiveness, accidents, blood-related issues, and conflicts in relationships. To balance and strengthen Mars’ energy, Vedic astrology offers several powerful remedies.
1. Worship and Mantras
Chanting Mars-related mantras helps pacify and strengthen its influence:
Mangal Beej Mantra: “Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah” – Chanting this 108 times daily improves courage and strength.
Hanuman Chalisa: Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa regularly strengthens Mars and reduces its malefic effects.
Mangal Gayatri Mantra: “Om Angarakaya Vidmahe Bhoomiputraya Dhīmahi Tanno Mangal Prachodayāt” – This enhances discipline and physical strength.
2. Fasting on Tuesdays
Observing a fast on Tuesdays and consuming jaggery, gram (chana), and red lentils helps strengthen Mars. Avoiding non-vegetarian food and alcohol on this day is beneficial.
3. Donating Mars-Related Items
Donating specific items can help reduce the negative effects of Mars. Beneficial donations include:
Red cloth, red lentils, jaggery, and copper
Helping soldiers, police officers, or athletes
Donating blood or assisting in medical aid
4. Wearing a Red Coral Gemstone
Mars’ primary gemstone is Red Coral (Moonga). Wearing a natural Red Coral in a gold or copper ring on the ring finger of the right hand on a Tuesday morning enhances Mars’ positive effects. Consultation with an astrologer before wearing it is advised.
5. Strengthening Discipline and Physical Activity
Since Mars governs energy and action, maintaining a disciplined routine, engaging in sports, martial arts, or exercise strengthens its energy positively.
6. Worship of Lord Hanuman and Lord Kartikeya
Mars is closely connected with Lord Hanuman and Lord Kartikeya. Visiting Hanuman temples on Tuesdays, offering sindoor and red flowers, and reciting the Bajrang Baan help pacify a malefic Mars.
7. Offering Water to Lord Sun
Offering water to the rising Sun while chanting Mars-related mantras improves confidence and vitality.
8. Controlling Anger and Impulsiveness
Practicing patience, avoiding arguments, and managing anger effectively help reduce Mars’ negative impact in relationships and personal life.
9. Using Copper Utensils
Drinking water stored in a copper vessel overnight balances Mars' energy and improves vitality.
10. Charity and Helping Others
Helping younger siblings, especially brothers, and participating in acts of charity, like feeding the poor or assisting in medical emergencies, strengthens Mars.
Conclusion
By incorporating these remedies, one can balance Mars’ energy and enhance courage, strength, and determination while minimizing aggression and conflicts. It is advisable to consult an experienced astrologer for personalized guidance based on your birth chart.
May the powerful energy of Mars bring strength, success, and positivity into your life!
