Benefits of Red Coral (Moonga)
Red Coral (Moonga) strengthens Mangal, which signifies energy, courage, siblings and property. It helps when Mangal rules good houses in your chart (the Lagna, 5th or 9th) and is weak; if Mangal rules the 6th, 8th or 12th, strengthening it can do harm.
Energise
On the first morning, wash in raw milk and Ganga jal, light a lamp and chant Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah 108 times, then wear it.
