Green Moong Remedies
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is green moong dal a remedy for Budh (Mercury)?
Green is the colour of Mercury (Budh), so green gram (moong dal) is its traditional offering. Donating it — especially on Wednesdays — is a simple, low-cost remedy believed to strengthen a weak or afflicted Mercury, which governs intellect, speech, trade and learning.
How do I perform the green moong dal remedy?
On Wednesday morning, donate raw green moong dal to students, the needy or a temple, or feed soaked green gram to birds and cows. Many also recite the Budh Beej mantra “Om Bram Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah” while doing so. Sincerity and regularity matter more than quantity.
Who should do this remedy?
It is generally suggested for those whose Mercury is weak or afflicted in the birth chart — often reflected in difficulties with communication, studies, business or nervous health. Treat it as devotional support alongside genuine real-world effort, not a guaranteed fix.
