Mangal mantra: beej mantra, japa count and today's Mangal hora
Mangal represents courage, energy, siblings, land and conflict. His mantra is part of the traditional approach to a strong or afflicted Mars, the Manglik question included.
ॐ क्रां क्रीं क्रौं सः भौमाय नमः
Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah
No Mangal hora is left in Kanpur today; the next begins tomorrow at 8:02 AM and runs to 9:00 AM.
How to chant the Mangal mantra
- Begin on a Tuesday, in a Mangal hora if you can; today's for your city are in the table further down.
- Sit facing east or north on a mat, with a mala of 108 beads and the larger meru bead.
- Chant the beej mantra once for each bead. At the meru, turn the mala round instead of crossing it.
- Do 3 malas (324 repetitions) a day. Over 40 days that completes the traditional 10,000.
- Keep the same time and place each day. Traditions differ on what to do after a missed day, so follow your teacher's or your family's custom.
Mangal Puranic mantra from the Navagraha Stotra
The Navagraha Stotra, traditionally ascribed to Vyasa, gives one verse to each graha. This is the verse for Mangal, recited after the beej mantra or in its place.
धरणीगर्भसम्भूतं विद्युत्कान्तिसमप्रभम् ।
कुमारं शक्तिहस्तं तं मङ्गलं प्रणमाम्यहम् ॥
Dharanigarbhasambhutam Vidyutkantisamaprabham
Kumaram Shaktihastam Tam Mangalam Pranamamyaham
What the verse says: I bow to Mangala, born from the womb of the Earth, flashing like lightning, a youth with a spear in his hand.

Mangal mantra japa count: why 10,000
The traditional total for the Mangal beej mantra is 10,000 repetitions, kept within a mandala of 40 days. The number that matters day to day is the daily load: 10,000 over 40 days, rounded up to whole malas of 108, is 3 malas — 324 repetitions — a day.
These totals are a convention of the tradition, not a formula: they do not follow the Vimshottari dasha years, and different texts give different numbers. Treat 10,000 as the commonly taught figure rather than the only one. One mala a day kept steadily is the usual place to start if the full load is too much.
Alongside the beej mantra, the longer recitation traditionally paired with Mangal: Mangal Chalisa.
Mangal mantra: common questions
How many times should the Mangal mantra be chanted?
The traditional total is 10,000, completed over 40 days — 3 malas (324 repetitions) a day. If that is more than you can keep up, one mala a day kept steadily is the usual starting point.
Which day is best for the Mangal mantra?
Tuesday, the day of Mangal. Within the day, a Mangal hora is the traditional window; today's for Kanpur are listed on this page.
Do I need a mala to chant the Mangal mantra?
A mala only keeps count. Counting on the finger joints, or with the japa counter in the Swarn Siddhi app, keeps the same count.
Can anyone chant the Mangal beej mantra?
The navagraha beej mantras are published freely and are commonly chanted without formal initiation, though some lineages prefer a teacher to give them. Chanting is a practice of attention and discipline, not a substitute for medical, legal or financial help.
