In Hindu religion and astrology, the worship of Shani Dev, the god of justice and giver of results, has special significance. It is believed that Shani Dev gives auspicious or inauspicious results to a person according to his deeds. This is the reason why rules are followed very strictly while worshiping him. One of the most important rules while choosing Shani puja material and utensils is that copper utensils should never be used in his puja. In the scriptures, copper is considered completely prohibited during the worship of Shani Dev. Let us know the mythological reason behind it and its astrological disadvantages.
Mythological relationship between Sun and Saturn: Why is there enmity even after being father and son?
There is a deep mythological story hidden behind the non-use of copper in the worship of Shani Dev, the strained relationship between Surya Dev and Shani Dev:
-
Father-son relationship: According to mythological beliefs, Shani Dev is the son of Surya Dev and his wife Chhaya.
-
Mutual differences and enmity: Despite being father and son, there have been deep ideological differences and hostility between Surya Dev and Shani Dev. Shani Dev is black in color and is associated with iron, oil, Kaliyuga and shadow, while Surya Dev symbolizes light, brightness and hot nature.
-
Enemy metal rule: According to the scriptures, copper is considered the main metal of Sun God. Since the relationship between Sun and Saturn has always been tense, it is considered taboo to use any object or metal related to his father (who is also his ideological enemy) in the worship of Shani Dev.
Why can Shani Dev get angry by using copper?
The nature of Shani Dev is cold, extremely serious, disciplined and fair. In contrast, copper has a hot nature, powered by the sun’s energy. This is completely contrary to the basic spirit and nature of the worship of Shani Dev.
Opinion of the scriptures: If a person ignorantly uses copper utensils to worship Shani Dev or offer oil to him, then he does not get any positive results of that worship. On the contrary, Shani Dev may get angry after seeing the use of Sun metal.
Serious disadvantages of using copper in Shani Puja
According to astrology, using copper vessels in Shani Puja completely destroys the purity and effect of the puja. Due to this the person may have to face the following problems:
-
Effect of Shani Dosha: Instead of getting the blessings of Shani Dev in the horoscope, the negative impact of Shani Dosh, Sadesati or Dhaiya may increase.
-
Economic and mental losses: Use of copper utensils can spoil the work done, which can lead to huge financial loss, mental stress and depression.
-
health concerns: Due to this unknowing mistake, family members may have to face serious health problems.
Which utensils are auspicious to use in Shani Puja?
To please Shani Dev and get full results of his blessings, one should always choose his favorite metals and materials:
-
Iron Utensils: Iron is the main and most favorite metal of Shani Dev. Keeping mustard oil in an iron vessel and offering it to Shani Dev is considered to be the most accurate and effective solution. With this the effect of puja increases manifold.
-
Earthen Pots: Shani Dev is also very fond of using earthen lamps or utensils in worship. This shows his simplicity and fairness.
-
Steel Utensils: If iron or earthen utensils are not available, steel utensils can be used as an alternative.
Special Ingredients: To get the blessings of Shani Dev quickly, the best solution is to offer mustard oil, black sesame seeds, blue flowers and black urad dal in an iron vessel.
