Mangal Beej Mantra Jaap — 10,000 Count, Vidhi, Benefits and Booking in Ujjain

The beej (seed) mantra of Mangal (Mars) is:For a full Mangal Shanti Jaap, it is recited 10,000 times — the count prescribed for Mangal (Mars) — followed by a havan of one tenth of that number. Our pandits in Ujjain perform it with the sankalp in your name and gotra, on a Tuesday, the day kept for Mangal (Mars).

Mangal (Mars) is the karaka of courage, land and property, brothers and sisters, and physical drive. The jaap is usually taken up in these situations:

• Running a Mangal mahadasha or antardasha
• Quick anger, quarrels, injuries or accidents that keep recurring
• Disputes over land, a house or property, or debts that will not clear
• Friction with brothers and sisters
• Mars debilitated in Cancer, or badly placed in the kundli

Mangal (Mars)’s mahadasha lasts 7 years in the Vimshottari system, which is why the remedy is so often taken up during it.

Each of the nine grahas has its own jaap count, based on the number of syllables and the tradition of the mantra; for Mangal (Mars) it is 10,000. The texts also say that in Kaliyug a jaap should be done four times over — hence the second count of 40,000, done by 12 pandits, for a long dasha or a heavier affliction. Neither count is a guarantee; a larger count is a larger prayer. See the jaap counts of all nine grahas side by side.

• Sankalp — your name, gotra and the purpose are stated
• Ganesh pujan and navagraha sthapana, then Mangal (Mars) is invoked
• 10,000 recitations of the beej mantra, shared among 3 pandits and counted on the mala
• Dashansh havan — a tenth of the count offered into the fire — then tarpan, marjan and brahman bhojan

You do not need to be in Ujjain: the sankalp is taken in your name, you can watch on a video call, and prasad is sent to your address. The date is fixed by the panchang and told to you before you pay.

• Read the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesdays.
• Give red masoor dal, jaggery or red cloth in charity on a Tuesday.
• Keep the Tuesday fast if you are able to.

If you chant the beej mantra yourself, 108 times a day on a rudraksha mala, with a steady mind, is the usual practice.
