Who is Shani?

He is very terrible planet. Wherever he sits, he burns or destroys it completely. If he sits on house, the house gets destroyed. If the degree of Lagna and degree of Shani is the same , there is no difference, then Shani freezes the Native's limbs. This is untreatable Yog which is applicable in thousands of charts. Shani's second form is like King who take care of his people. He fills their life with all kinds of comforts and conveniences. If Shani is in the 3rd House or in the 10th House of Sagittarius or Pisces; and is not aspected by Mars, then he gives the Darshan of God and gives Mukti.

When, in Dreshkaan, Shani aspects Moon or vice versa, he makes the Native high degree of saint and sends far from the family attachment. Shani inspires the Native to do Tap and the Moon stabilizes his mind in God. It is because there is only Shani among the Nine Planets which is the Kaarak of Tap. Only Shani opens the eyes of knowledge. He takes the Native even up to the forest to do Tap, so if the Native doesn't do the Tap there, Shani becomes angry. If the Native is not satisfied by anything, he should do 90,000,000 Jap of all the Nine Planets without asking anybody. There are 240,000 (24 Lakh) in one Charan. One should complete 1 Crore count in four times. Shani's Beej Mantra improves intellect and gives Parampad to Jeev. One needs only belief and devotion.

Whichever Amaavasyaa falls on Saturday, that is called SHANI Amaavasyaa. One should do Chhaayaa Daan on this day - Chhaayaa Daan means, take a little mustard oil, see your own face in it, and give it to a beggar or in a Shani temple. If both are not possible, pour the oil on a bare land.

There are many remedies for Graha Shaanti (pacifying planets) available here and there. Those remedies have been collected here at one place. Writing them here does not guarantee that they will work, they are just a collection collected from various sources. If anyone finds any remedy work for oneself, please write to us so that other people can also benefit from it. Thanks in advance on behalf of the author of this page.

There are two types of remedies for Shani - General and for Saadhe Saatee

General Upaaya

To be free from Shani's affliction the Native, on a Saturday, should take an iron bowl, fill it with oil, put 1 and 1/4 Rupayaa and see his own reflection in that oil imagining that his all sins have entered in that oil and give that bowl to Dakaut.

Along with this, every Saturday, tie 1 and 1/4 Kilo Urad or black sesame seed in a black cloth and give it to Dakaut By doing this many Dosh and pains and poverty etc are removed and Shani's Saadhe Saatee's effect is decreased.

Upaaya for Saadhe Saatee

1. Clean/Sweep (pochhaa in Hindi ) temple stairs or of the temple in your house and of your house regularly starting Saturday.
2. Serve the workers (Mazdoor, labors), beggars as much as possible by provide them food, clothing etc.
3. Do Sundar Kaand (from Raamaayan) Paath every Saturday.
