Apamarga Vibhuti

Apamarga is commonly called prickly chaff flower and is found growing in tropical countries. It is associated with Buddh Graha or Planet Mercury. Apamarga Vibuti is widely used in Puja and Homas related to Buddh Dev. Vibhuti means glory as it gives glory to one who applies it and raksha (protection) as it protects the wearer from ill health and evil, by purifying him or her. Vibhuti or Bhasma are specially associated with Lord Shiva, and it is applied all over his idol / lingam. Apamarga Vibuti appeases Planet Budh/Budh Dev. For natives who have unfavorably placed Mercury/Buddh in their Birth chart/Kundli, they can offer Apamarga Vibhuti to Planet Budh to get respite from the malefic effects and to strengthen the positive powers of the Planet.

How is Apamarga Vibhuti Made?
Apamarga Vibhuti is made in-house by Rudra Centre Puja Services by performing Planetary Homa of Planet Budh or Mercury with Apamarga sticks in Havan. The ash from the Buddh Havan is collected and powdered to make Apamarga Vibhuti. Other prescribed Vedic rituals of Tarpan, Marjan and more are also performed during the course of making the Apamarga Vibhuti.
