Bhadra Yoga along with Hamsa, Ruchaka, Malviya, and Sasa yoga goes under the special distinction of Panchamahapurusha Yoga.
It is a special Rajyoga and is unique because Bhadra Yoga is formed by a single planet and doesn’t require the involvement of any other planet in its formation.
Definition: Bhadra Yoga is formed when planet Mercury is in one of the Kendra houses (1st, 4th, 7th & 10th) in either Gemini or Virgo sign.
Since it is one of the panchmahapurush yoga one should understand what it means.
Panch Mahapursuh word here suggests that when any of the planets, i.e. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn when placed in one of the Kendra houses in their own, exaltation or exalted signs, blesses one with all of their supreme qualities.
Here, since we are dealing with Bhadra Yoga, Mercury, planet qualities will be imparted to native personalities which are intelligence, quick mind, logical thinking, good reflexes, attractive personality, etc.
These kinds of Rajyoga are the direct result of some really good karma from past lives which enables one to get such placements.
Why Bhadra Yoga Formes In Kendra House only?

The following points should be checked before giving a Judgement on Bhadra Yoga.
- Mercury should not combust.
- Though Mercury stays very close to the planet’s sun and gets into combustion quite frequently. Here combustion degrees of Mercury should be taken as 5 degrees, though as per K.N Rao Mercury should be more than 3 degrees to avoid combustion.
- Should not be defeated in planetary war.
- Mercury should not be afflicted by natural malefic like Mars, Saturn, Rahu, or Ketu.
- Mercury should not be afflicted by the lord of the 6th, 8th, or 12th house.
