Study & Focus

What parents and students pick before exams

Budh is the graha of memory, reasoning and speech, and Guru is the graha of knowledge and the teacher. When a child studies hard but blanks out in the exam hall, or can't sit still with a book for long, astrologers usually look at these two first.

For parents buying for a child

The Study bracelet is the simple everyday pick for school-going kids. Check wrist size before ordering, and very young children should wear it only under supervision. If you'd like more than one piece, the Student Focus & Success Combo puts a few together; the product page lists what is inside.

For board exams, JEE, NEET and UPSC aspirants

Clear Quartz is a Chandra stone in our tradition, worn by students who get nervous and lose focus under pressure. Lapis Lazuli, which we link with Shani and discipline, suits older students putting in long hours of self-study. The Divine Clarity & Focus Set is another option for serious aspirants, and many families pick the Padhaai Mein Success Kit at the start of a board year.

Setting up the study table

Place the Shree Budh Yantra on the study table so the child faces east or north-east while reading. Start on a Wednesday: light a diya, offer a few durva or green leaves, and chant "Om Braam Breem Braum Sah Budhaya Namah" 108 times. Older kids can do 11 times a day on their own before opening the books. On Thursdays, add "Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah" for Guru.

No bracelet will write the paper for anyone. Treat it as a reminder to sit down and revise, and as a parent's blessing. For more, see Budh remedies, Guru remedies and Number 5 if your child's mulank is 5.
