Mantra for Shani
"Om pram preem proum sah shanaischaraya namah"
On the day of Shani Amavasya, Shani spell can be recited with pure and depth of
heart after bath.
Shani is a very strong planet and holds a distinct position in a person's horoscope
where it can either construct or destruct the individual.
Some of its negative indicator includes loneliness, distress, dejection, old age
and death, restriction, undue responsibility, delays, loss of ambition, chronic
suffering, losses, etc.
The two most common ailments caused by the most dreaded planet Saturn are
Shani Dosha and Sade Sati.
In Vedic astrology the Padmapurana states that Samjana wife of Surya was not
able to bear the dazzling radiance of her husband Surya and so she created a
shadow image of her known as Chaya. Surya and Chaya gave birth to
Shanischara which means slow moving.
Saturn but Shanichara was cursed by Lord Parvathi which made him into a cruel
being like if he looks onto someone straight he is sure to ruin them to an extent.
In such situation in a person's horoscope is when the remedies made for Shani
becomes non negotiable
But however certain specific poojas made for the planet Saturn like Shani Puja,
Shani Yajna or Homa which is believed to have a great extent cool down of
Shani and reduces its malefic effects resulted by Shani graha by way of Sadhe
Sati.

bad depends upon the planet on the Nakshatra an individual is born with.
Shani is known to be an excellent teacher and based on an individual's karma
justify the people with either good things or punish them for their evil deeds.
It is also believed that Goddess Katyayini rules Shani for he is the deliverer of
equity and fairness. Goddess Katyayani, is the sixth form of Navadurga who
imparts virtues as per the karma of each person. Another reason why the
worship of Hanuman is good at the time of Shani dosha is that, there are myths
which state that Hanuman released the rescued Shani from the prison of Ravana

Anjaneya has the power to release them from the clutches of evil king Ravana.
They worshipped Hanuman and requested him to free them from lanka.
Hanuman immediately realised the presence of Shani bhagavan amongst the
Navagrahas and asked him If i release you, you will look at me and i will be
under your spell for 7.5 years. For this Shani replied that he will not do that and
even spare those who worship Anjaneya from the ill effects of shani dasha. So

Shani Mantras and Meaning
Given below are some of the Mantras of Shani one can chant to please Shani and
reduce the malefic effects.
"Om Hlim Sham Shanaye Namah"
thanks to them first and then to god, then only god will be pleased. Because God
wants us to say thanks to the things and persons around you and help them
whenever they need your help. Feel the presence of God everywhere that's
where the real fact is...Coming to Lord Shani, do recite shani mantras,Maha
mrutunjaya mantra,hanuman chalisa regularly apart from the above mentioned
things... Definitely it's gonna work out for everybody... I would like to say one last
thing about the Birth of an Individual is to realise himself why he has taken birth,
what he supposed to do on the earth, what's his or her responsibilities. Once he
does this... He or she would not be affected by the problems they are facing
regularly.
Hello friends whoever chants the mantra "om sham Shanieshcharaay namaah"
every day Saturn never harasses them. Those who try to help others but for that
they speak lies to them he never troubles. If you motivate someone Saturn is
fond of you. If you do mistake and admit it then you have scope. But if you fool
him or others he brings you at the same position where you were earlier. If you
sacrifice something for well-being of someone then he rewards you. Saturn loves
time and discipline.So those who consider these things are considered by him
and vice versa.You may light at least six to seven diyas made of wheat flour
either in Hanuman temple or Shani temple every saturday or best if you worship
Lord Shani at Shani-Singnapur( best place meant for worship of Shani God).So
many memories of Saturn God are at same place.If you feed grains or Indian
bread to crow or any other bird still it pleases Saturn.
lORD Saturn extremely loves unselfishness and extremely hates ego. Because all
bad things start from the same. You should become a devotee to Lord Hanuman
and promise him to become like him also befriend all poor people because they
are heart of Saturn. Also follow positive directions of working and complain less.
Then you should have blind faith in Saturn because he is your friend and likes
them who try to be friends of their own though not others.

Dashrath Krit Shani Stotram-mantram-mantras to please Shanidev
There are a couple of stories behind the King of Ayodhya- Raja Dashrath and
Shani Bhagwan. The first one goes thus;
Raja Dashrath of Ayodhya
Emperor Dasaratha was the only person who called Lord Shaniswara for duel as
he was to cross his country bringing drought and poverty. Lord Shaniswara
extolled Dasarathas virtues and replied to him that I cant skip my duties but
Im pleased with your courage. Great sage Rishyasringa can help you.
Wherever Rishyasringa lives, that country will have no drought and dryness.
Dasaratha after receiving the blessings from Lord Shaniswara, wisely resolved
the difficult situation by making Rishyasringa as his son-in-law. Santha, known
to be daughter of Dasaratha, was married to Rishyasringa so that he is always
present in Ayodhya. The second story and mythology says so;
Saturn enters the star constellation of Rohini once in every 30 years. This is one
of the most dreaded transits of the kings and his kingdom. The scriptures say
Kings will die and kingdoms will fall when Shani enters Rohini. Last time it
entered Rohini on 22nd May 2001. On the night of 1st June 2001 the entire Royal
family of Nepal was wiped out. It was followed by the death of the Indian
Congress minister and Raja of Gwalior Sri Madhav Rao Scindia on 30th
September 2001 in a plane crash.
It was during the reign of Raja Dashrath of Ayodhya Shani Dev was to do his
Rohini Shakat Bedan and the outcome would have been a 12 year period of
drought and famine in his kingdom of Ayodhya.
Raja Dashrath initially tried to defeat Lord shanidev, but failed and as Shani Dev
is well-known as the Nyay Devta and the dispenser of Justice, Dashrath tries to
appeal to him in all humility not to do Rohini Shakat Bedan. The ideal king
realizes that the only way to avert the catastrophic drought and famine in his
land is to evoke the kindness of Shani.
19) Chanting the Thirty-sixth Hymn will mitigate you from all difficulties and
pains.
20) Chanting the Thirty-seventh Hymn will secure the Grace of Shri Hanuman.
---------------Shani Amavasya
Amavasya is celebrated on 15th day of the dark fortnight of Hindu month which
falls on the no moon day. The day is regarded pertinent for doing Tarpan and
Shradh for dead parents and other relatives. Amavasya is perceived to be perfect
day to get protection from black magic and evil acts done on individuals.
Amavasya night provides the ideal context and environment in which evil powers
are invoked. Shani amavasya puja and daan are also helpful to mitigate the
negative effect of kaalsarp dosha and pitra dosha and retrograde jupiter.
Persons going through the main and sub period of Shani, Rahu, Ketu(mahadasha
and antardasha) are suggested to conduct the Shani Amavasya Puja and Daan so
that quantum of suffering or debt is reduced.
The following are shani doshas for which each individual requires immediate
remedy to get relief from the suffering and agony created during these doshas.
1. Period of malefic shani(mahadasa or antardasa)
2. Period of shani sade sati
3. Period of shani dhaiya
It is also a remedy for your sins and relief from shani sade sati/dhaiya problems.
If you are under the malefic/retrogade effect of Lord Shani, you can get rid from
it by praying to Lord Hanuman. You should observe fast and offer prayers to
Hanuman and Shani on all Saturdays. Shani chaya daan is also to be done to
mitigate evil effects of shani dosha.
Chaya Daan on Shani Amavasya
Traditionally on this day Chaya daan should be done alongwith other shani dev
puja's. Take a little mustard oil in a bowl or steel plate. Place it underyour
Cot/bed on the side of head. In the early morning as you wake up before going
through your morning chores look at your reflection in the oil and gift it either to
a beggar or at any Shani temple. This is known as Chaya daan.
Shani Amavasya Mahotsav is sure to bring favorable changes in the lives of
people suffering from various problems of any kind. This day millions of people
get rid of their problems and so you should also try to do some shani dosha
nivaran puja to please lord Shani dev.
Charity on shani amavasya for relief from shani dosha
Charity or Daan is most significant aspect of human life in which even after
giving away his most precious possessions he finds blissful solace. People
suffering from shani dosha's i.e sade sati or dhaiya and malefic effect of shani
mahadasa or antardasa are blessed after giving charity or daan of ann or vastra
on this day.
