Lord Shani: It is a common belief that the shadow and sight of Saturn gives inauspicious results in life. People remain troubled during Saturn's Sade Sati, Saturn Mahadasha and Antardasha. People are seen doing remedies for Shani Dev out of fear. But does Saturn give only bad results? Why should one be afraid of Saturn? There are many such questions which we need to solve.
Who is Shani?
Description of Shani is also found in Padma Purana and Brahmavaivarta Purana. According to a legend, Goddess of wealth Lakshmi once asked a question to Lord Shani – “O Shanidev, you ruin the wealth of all the people, why does your sight make everyone unhappy.”
Shanidev replied – “Mother, I am not at fault in this, Lord Shiva has made me the judge of the three worlds, so whoever does wrong and immoral acts should be punished.”
Who should not fear Saturn?
If you want to avoid the cruel sight of Shani then you should never do wrong things. Those who do not follow the rules, Shani Dev never forgives those who trouble others, those who try to snatch the wealth, land, respect of others. When the time comes, Shani Dev also punishes these wrong deeds.
What to do to keep Saturn calm?
Shanidev does not like lies and pretense, so these should be avoided. For Shani to give good results in life, you should not do any inauspicious work, help the weak and work for their welfare. People who work hard to support themselves and their families should not be harassed under any circumstances. By doing this, Shani gives terrible results, the future children also have to suffer the punishment of such sin.
So help people as much as you can. Encourage them to move forward. If you do this, Shanidev will definitely give you auspicious results and give you immense success in life.
