Sani Deepam Worship & Procedure

1. I have been reading many remedies suggested by eminent astrologers of the Group to ward off the bad effects of Sani Peyarchi. 2. The remedy mentioned below is suggested in Tattvaloka magazine published from
Chennai.

3. It is very simple and would help the devotees to pray in their house itself and help them to focus their mind at a particular time with undivided attention. 4. What impresses me most is that the righteous actions and righteous deeds are important to protect ourselves from the bad effects. 5. According to me, the family members and well wishers of the affected persons should remain united and offer solace and prayers all the time and should remain in constant remembrance of the Lord. 6. Their prayers and help
would also

help the affected persons.

"The best way to please Sanisvara is through righteous thoughts and

righteous actions.
As a religious ritual,

Sani Deepa prayer is effective remedy against Sani's bad effects for those whose Sani is weak in the horoscope and for those who have 7 1/2 years Sani.

The

Brahma Vaivarata Purana

offers the remedy.

Thunderbolt -Shield Protection Song for Saturn)

* Wearing blue clothes, with a blue body, seated on the Kiriti vulture, * he carries a bow and causes one to tremble with fear. * Let the son of the Sun who has four arms always be pleased with me; * so being pleased he might grant me boons. Brahma said: * Listen of rishis to this great [hymn] which takes away all the misery caused by the planet Saturn. * This armour of King Saturn, who is a scion of the Sun is the best of all armors. * This armor which is worn by Gods is called the Thunderbolt Shield. * It makes Saturn happy, so that he gives all good fortune. * Om. Let revered Saturn who is the beloved of the Sun protect my forehead. * Let he who was born from Chhaya, the shadow, protect my eyes; let the younger brother of Yama protect my ears. * Let the scion of the glorious sun protect my nose; let the one who belongs to the lineage of the brilliant illuminator protect my face. * Let he who has a soft agreeable voice protect my voice; let the one whose arms are great protect my arms. * Let Shani protect my shoulders; let the one who gives shining auspiciousness protect my hands. * Let Yamas brother protect my chest; let the one dark in color protect my belly.

* Let the lord of the planets protect my navel; let the one who moves slowly protect my hips. * Let the one who causes things to end protect my thighs; let the lord of death protect my two knees. * Let the one who moves very slowly protect my feet; let Pippala protect all my limbs. * Let the beloved of the Sun guard all my limbs and organs. * Thus, whoever recites this divine armor of the son of the Sun, no misfortune arises for him or her. * The one born from the Sun (Saturn) becomes pleased. * Whether Saturn is placed in the 12th house, the 1st house, the 2nd house or the 8th house [in the natal chart], * or when Saturn is in the 7th Nakshatra, Saturn is nevertheless always very pleased with the person who recites this. * And when Saturn transits the 8th house, the 12th house, the 1st house and 2nd house [of the moon], * one should daily recite this, no misery will arise for this person. * Thus this divine armor of the gods which was composed in ancient days always destroys all the faults which come from Saturn sitting in the 1st house, the 12th house and the 8th house in ones chart. * The Lord destroys all the faults and troubles arising from having Saturn sitting in the moons sign or in the rising sign. * The End of Shani Vajra Panjara Kavacha stotram
