Mars Appeasement Chant
The planet Mars (Mangal) is a powerful celestial body symbolizing strength and energy. Mars is the nearest planet to Earth, which is why it is also called the “Son of the Earth” (Bhoo-putra). Mars governs houses, land, plots, and mining activities. It acts like a commander-in-chief, bringing courage, bravery, and strength into the life of the native. Mars is associated with masculinity and represents male qualities such as physical strength, dominance, assertiveness, courage, valour, self-confidence, and energy. However, if Mars is in an unfavourable position in one’s horoscope, the person may face various physical and mental health issues. Malefic effects of Mars can cause problems such as damage to veins and arteries, bone marrow diseases, bleeding, burning sensations, lumps, miscarriages, muscle arthritis, menstrual disorders, blood-related issues like red eyes, and skin problems. Though the name “Mangal” suggests auspiciousness, it benefits only in rare circumstances; in most situations, it causes hardships. Mars is considered a malefic planet that usually gives unfavourable results. Therefore, if Mars is poorly placed in your horoscope and causing you multiple problems, it becomes very important to pacify it. The most effective way to calm Mars is through chanting (Jap), which greatly pleases the planet. There are two types of mantras used for this purpose — Tantric and Vedic. Tantric mantras are shorter with limited effect, while Vedic mantras are longer, more powerful, and have long-lasting benefits. If Mars is giving adverse results in your horoscope, it is essential to perform the Vedic mantra chanting to bring peace to Mars.

Mars Mantra Worship Procedure
To overcome the malefic effects of Mars, chanting the Vedic Mars mantra 40,000 times is considered highly effective. This chanting can be done daily with a fixed number of rosaries (such as 3 or 5, as per convenience) using a Moonga (coral) or Rudraksha mala. Each day, take a bath and wear clean clothes, face east, and offer lamp, incense, flowers, and food (Naivedya) before the idol or picture of Lord Mars. Perform the sixteen-step (Shodashopachar) worship and then begin the mantra chanting. Take a formal vow (Sankalp) before starting the chanting. After completing all 40,000 chants, perform a partial Havan with 4,000 mantra repetitions, offering sesame seeds (Til), jaggery (Gud), ghee, red flowers, and other oblations.
You can perform this ritual yourself, but for greater effectiveness and purity, it is highly beneficial to have it conducted by a qualified and experienced priest. Special worship and donations on Tuesdays bring quicker results.
