OM SHAM SHANICHARAYA NAMAHA |108 Chanting | Mantra Meditation for GOOD LUCK
Shani is one of
the Navagraha (the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology) of Jyotiṣa.
Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn and is the Lord of Saturday. Shani is
also known as Śanaiścara (शनैश्चर). The
word shani also denotes the seventh day or Saturday in most Indian languages.
The word shani (शनि) comes
fromŚanayē Kramati Saḥ (शनये क्रमति सः),
the one who moves slowly, because Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around
the Sun.
Shani is a deva and son of Surya and his wife Chhaya, hence
also known as Chayyaputra. He is the elder brother of Yama, the Hindu god of
death, who in some scriptures corresponds to the deliverance of justice.
Surya's two sons Shani and Yama judge. Shani gives us the results of one's
heeds through one's life through appropriate punishments and rewards; Yama
grants the results of one's deeds after death.
It is said
that when Shani opened his eyes as a baby for the very first time, the sun went
into an eclipse, which clearly denotes the impact of Shani on astrological
charts. He is known as the greatest teacher and well wisher for the righteous
as well the greatest punisher for those who follow the path of evil, betrayal,
backstabbing and unjust revenge. He is depicted dark in colour, clothed in
black, holding a sword, arrows and two daggers and mounted on a crow, which is
Shani's vāhana. As protector of property, Shani is able to repress the thieving
tendencies of birds.
Shani Jayanti the birth anniversary of Lord Shani falls on
the Amavasya (New moon day) of Jyeshta month of Hindu calendar.
