Shani Sade Sati brings tough times because of Saturn’s influence, but there are easy ways to make it better. Our old books suggest things to help, like saying special prayers, fasting, and giving to those who need help.
1. Prayers and Saying Mantras: Using Words to Help
Saying a special prayer 19,000 times over 40 days can make Saturn’s effect easier. The prayer goes like this: ‘OM PRAM PREEM PRAUM SAH SHANAYE NAMAH.’ It’s powerful and can help when said many times.
ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः ॥
OM PRAM PREEM PRAUM SAH SHANAYE NAMAH
Meaning:
I salute Lord Shani who brings balance and stability to those that invoke his name
OR
I restore perfect cosmic balance with Shani (Saturn), so my life may be blessed
2. Rings and Wearing Special Metal: Using Shiny Things
Wearing rings made of blue sapphire in silver or a special metal (Horse Shoe) after praying on them helps too. Some people use old boat nails and horse-shoe rings after soaking them in oil. These things need to be worn at special times and in a special way.
3. Fasting: Staying Hungry on Saturdays
People fast on Saturdays, eating only after the sun goes down. This helps them ask for help and say sorry for things they did wrong. It’s done to make Saturn’s tough times a bit easier.
4. Saying Special Prayers Every Day: A Daily Habit
Saying a special prayer every day until Saturn’s tough times finish can also help. This prayer makes Saturn’s tough times easier.
5. Giving to Those in Need: (Shani Daan) Sharing to Make It Better
After fasting, people give things like blankets, black lentil (urad dal), oil, dark clothes, and other stuff to those who need it. This helps to make Saturn’s tough times easier.
6. Other Things That Can Help: Different Ways
Some other things like wrapping a thread around a tree, wearing a black thread, and burying special sweets on a Saturday can also help.
Other Remedies :
- Wrap a raw cotton thread seven times round a peepal tree (the holy fig tree) on a Saturday evening and recite the mantra for Saturn. Light a lamp with mustard oil under the tree and seek forgiveness for any misdeed done knowingly or unknowingly in the past.
- Measure a black thread equal to 19 times the length of your hand and wear it like a garland.
- On Saturday bury in an un-tilled place a sweet made of urad pulse, sesame, oil and jaggery.
These ways are from ancient scriptures and are believed to help when tough times come because of Saturn. But it’s always good to consult and expert astrologer who knows about these things for help. Believing and doing these things regularly can make the tough times easier.
