Pronounciation Guidelines
- The sounds of these mantras resonate with a fundamental layer of existence. You should play and listen carefully to the mantra and attempt to recite the mantras as close to correct pronounciation as possible.
- For the instructions below use the following transliterations:
- om braa[ng] bree[ng] brau[ng] sah(a) budhaa-ya namah(a)
- om bu[ng] budhaa-ya namah(a)
- The n sound in the [ng] sound is inbetween n and m.
- The g sound in the [ng] sound is only has a slight nasal g sound.
- The (a) sound is only an aspirated a (not using vocal cords).
- The double a 'aa' is simply a long open 'a' sound (like 'a' in the word father).
- Listen carefully to the recording and repeat along with it until the pronounciation is identical.

General Guidelines
- It is recommended that the mantra for Budha should be recited total of 4000 times over a period of time, in order to gain the desired results.
- The minimum number of daily recitation is traditionally one cycle or 108 times (one mala). For Mercury it is recommended that you recite either 1 mala (108 times) 3 malas (324 times) or 17 malas (1836 times) in each daily session.
- The initial session should start five hours after sunrise on a Wednesday,
preferably when the Moon, or Mercury, are in Ashlesha, Jyesta or Revati.
- You can at any time increase the number of malas that you decide to chant, but the tradition warns not to decrease the number again after it has been increased once. So only increase when you know for sure that you will be able to proceed like that.
- The sounds of these mantras resonate with a fundamental layer of existence. You should play and listen carefully to the mantra and attempt to recite the mantras as close to correct pronounciation as possible.
- The stotra or mantra should be chanted with deep sincerity and with devotion to the core of all divinity.
