About the ruling planet Mars

The ruling planet of the 18 Mukhi Rudraksha is Jupiter, also known as Guru or Brihaspati in Vedic astrology. Jupiter is the planet of wisdom, expansion, generosity, and spirituality. It represents the fire element and the color yellow. Jupiter governs the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces and the ninth and twelfth houses in the horoscope. Jupiter can bring luck, fortune, optimism, and growth in one’s endeavors. However, it can also cause excessiveness, extravagance, arrogance, and dogmatism if it is afflicted or ill-placed. The 15 Mukhi Rudraksha helps balance and harmonize the effects of Jupiter in one’s horoscope. It can help overcome the challenges and obstacles that Jupiter may bring, such as lack of direction, confusion, overindulgence, and wastefulness. It can also help enhance the positive qualities of Jupiter, such as wisdom, creativity, communication, and spirituality.

Story about the presiding deity:

Bhumi Devi is depicted as the consort of Varaha (The boar form of Lord Vishnu). The Rakshasa Hiranyaksha torments Bhumi and her inhabitants. As a result, she sinks into the ocean. Lord Vishnu takes on the form of Varaha, dives into the ocean, kills Hiranyakashipu, and retrieves her on his Tusks. Thus Bhumi has the protection of Lord Vishnu at all times. Bhauma/ Mars / Mangal is the son of Bhumi Devi. He performed severe penance to Lord Shiva. Thus pleased Lord Shiva gifted Bhauma the Mangal Lok. Any Pradosh that falls on a Tuesday is also addressed as Bhauma Pradosh.
