Shani Remedies to Protect Yourself From Negative Effects of Saturn – The Times of India

In Vedic astrology, Saturn is referred to as “Shanidev” and is seen as a rigorous instructor. It provides outcomes according to one’s previous karma, both positive and negative. This is the planet of justice, discipline, and karma. When Saturn is malefic (Shani Dosha, Sade Sati, or Dhaiya), or weak or poorly positioned then it can cause difficulties, delays in marriage, success, money issues difficulties in career, health problems such as depression, chronic illness and joint pain. But you may lessen its bad effects and draw prosperity, stability, and blessings with the right solutions and dedication.
On the other hand, when the Saturn’s placement is positive then natives can expect the positive results in every aspect of life such as achievement via hard work and discipline, wisdom, spiritual development, wealth and career. But here we are not talking about those who never faced Saturn’s wrath, we are discussing about the natives who have faced Saturn malefic effects in their lives and are still facing it. Let us make it very clear that Saturn is one of the most strongest planet and we can never remove its bad effects but we can please the Lord Shani by performing various religious and spiritual activities which is like taking an umbrella while heavy rainfall so we are going to mention some important remedies which you can perform and appease Lord Shani:

Remedies to appease Lord Shani (Saturn) and save yourself:

1. Worshipping Lord Hanuman
Worshipping Lord Hanuman is one of the most easiest way to please Lord Shani as Lord Hanuman once saved planet Saturn from Ravana and that’s why Shani Dev is always pleased by the devotees who worship Lord Hanuman. You are advised to read Hanuman Chalisa daily and 7 times on Tuesday and Saturday. Visit Hanuman temple and offer chola to Hanuman ji (can be done by male not female). Female devotees can offer brown color sweets along with coconut every Tuesday.
2. Visiting Shani Temple
Devotees are advised to visit Shani temple or they can also visit Navagraha temple on Saturdays. They should first light a diya with mustard oil and keep it under a peepal tree. People can also light a diya with sesame oil, take a black cloth, keep some black sesame seeds in that, black urad daal along with jaggery and offer it to Lord Shani.
3. Chanting Mantra
Chanting is also one of the important ways to please Shani Dev Ji so whenever people visit temple, they must chant Shani Mantra 108 times and seek blessings of Lord Shani. They are advised not to look at Shani idol directly and never stand in front of the idol also. The Mantra is mentioned below:
“Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah”
4. Donation and Charity
Crows, lower level workers, house helps, laborers, sweepers, and other underprivileged people represents Shani Maharaj so when you are advised to appease Lord Shani, start donating clothes, money and food to them.
5. Perform Chhaya Daan
People are advised to perform chhaya daan. They can take a bowl full of mustard oil and see their face’s reflection in that and then give it to someone, this will help reducing the malefic effects od Shani.
6. Donate black things
People should donate black items like black sesame seeds, mustard oil, urad dal (black lentils), or black clothes on Saturdays to the needy ones.
