Chennai: Offering guidance to students eager to advance, entrepreneurs, creators, and parents alike, renowned astrologer Bhavani Anand has shared an in-depth explanation of the planet Mercury and a powerful meditation technique to attain education, health, wealth, happiness, and success in life, on the Aanmeegaglitz YouTube channel.
Mercury: The Karaka for Education!
In a horoscope, the fifth house signifies early education, the ninth house denotes college education, and the 12th house indicates higher studies abroad. Among these, the planet Mercury determines how much one will excel in academic pursuits.
- Mercury - Rahu Conjunction: If Mercury is conjoined with Rahu, individuals may possess extensive knowledge, often studying a great deal without a clear understanding of why they are doing so.
- Mercury - Ketu Conjunction: If Mercury is with Ketu, despite obstacles in studies, a special insight (Meijnana) will emerge for them.
- Parivartana Yoga: If Mercury is placed in Sagittarius or Pisces, and Jupiter (Guru) is in Mercury's own houses (Gemini or Virgo), a Parivartana Yoga is formed. This combination can bring about significant life changes during its associated Dasha-Bhukti periods or after the arrival of a spiritual guru.
The Multifaceted Dimensions of Mercury:
Mercury is not only associated with education but also with love and the color green. Even Sage Vyasa mentioned Mercury is depicted seated on a lion, with a face combining both elephant and lion features. This implies that as one's educational knowledge grows, the strength of an elephant and the power of a lion will be at their command. Since Mercury embodies both masculine and feminine forms, it symbolizes that both men and women should excel in education and progress in life.
Mercury holding a lotus flower in its hand signifies wealth; it indicates that good education leads to accumulation of riches. Furthermore, Mercury holding a mace (gada) indicates the necessity of discipline and self-control in life.
The Philosophy of Guru in Kali Yuga:
There is a proverb that says, "In Kali Yuga, even if you find gold, you won't find Mercury." This means that even if one finds a good teacher, finding a deserving student is rare. A Guru (teacher) is essential for education. Kashyapa Maharishi, Sukracharya, Vyasa Maharishi, and Kalidasa are revered as embodiments of the Guru's philosophy. All of them are 'creators.'
Simple, Powerful Meditation for All 12 Zodiac Signs:
This meditation is beneficial for anyone facing obstacles in education, health, career, or life progress, or those seeking to innovate and succeed, or those wishing to enhance memory and eloquence.
Meditation Method:
Saraswati Meditation (First):
- Wake up in the morning and sit in a peaceful place.
- Visualize Goddess Kalai Vani (Saraswati) seated on a large white lotus, with a swan nearby and a Veena in her hand.
- Mentally chant the mantra "Om Aim Saraswathyai Namaha" three times.
- Observe Goddess Saraswati's face – it is peaceful, like a clear stream, auspicious, with kumkum on her forehead, and a beautiful crown on her head.
- Then, chant the mantra "Sri Vidya Rupini Saraswati Sakala Kala Valli Sara Bimbadhari Sharada Devi Shastra Valli Veena Pustaka Dharini Vani Kamala Pani Vaagdevi Varadayaki Pustaka Haste Namostute" three times.

- Mentally hear the sound "Kala Traya Bodhitam Brahma Brahma." Feel the words "Tathastu, Tathastu" echoing around you.
- Then, chant the mantra "Om Vedatmakaya Vidmahe Hiranya Garbhaya Dhimahi Tanno Brahma Prachodayat."

Benefits and Remedy:
Practice this meditation daily for a few seconds. Additionally, whenever possible, provide educational assistance to underprivileged children (like buying notebooks, pens, or books).

Conclude the meditation by expressing gratitude to the Universe.
