Shani Mantra
OM SHAM SHANAISCHARYAYA NAMAHA
Shani is one of the Navagrahas (the
nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology) of Jyotisha (Hindu Astrology). Shani is embodied
in the planet Saturn and is the Lord of Saturday. The mantra meaning is 'Oh Shani, I bow to
thee'.
In Hindu Mythology, Shani is a Deva (male god) and son of Surya. He is the elder
brother of Yama, the Hindu god of death, who in some scriptures corresponds to the deliverance of
justice.
Shani is believed to gives us the results of our deeds during our lifetime through
appropriate punishments and rewards whereas Yama delivers 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.
Shani is also known as the lord of masses and his blessings are thus considered
very important in an individual's horoscope for bestowing him with mass following and
popularity.
Shani is depicted dark in colour, clothed in black; holding a sword, arrows and
two daggers and mounted on a crow, his vahana (vehicle). As protector of property, Shani is able
to repress the thieving tendencies of birds.
The period of Shani's punishments is referred
to as Shani Dasha. The term is used to describe periods in our life when nothing seems to go
right. It is said that worship of Shani will save one from some or all of these miseries.
