News India Live, Digital Desk: Shani Drishti: In Hinduism, Shani Dev is considered the god of justice. The more unique his glory is, the deeper the fear associated with him. Often in temples, you have seen people standing in front of the statue of Shani Dev and avoiding darshan directly. There is a deep astrological and mythological reason behind this, which is associated with his ‘crooked eye’.
Why shouldn’t Shani Dev’s direct vision be seen?
It is believed that the direct vision of Shani Dev is not considered auspicious. According to astrology, a person may have to face sudden and big challenges in life due to their ‘curve vision’ or a direct impact of crooked sight, whether it is economic, health or family. It is also believed that Shanidev got a curse from his wife that whichever he would look directly on, he would be harmed. This is the reason that whenever you go to Shani temple, always pray instead of standing upright in front of their statue, by looking at their feet from a little edge or in their eyes.
Shanidev is the god of justice, not of punishment!
It is important to understand that Shanidev is not only the deity who gives trouble, but he is the god of justice giving fruits according to deeds. Those who follow honesty, discipline and philanthropy, Shani Dev also gives them auspicious results. The troubles received during their half -century or dhaya are actually an opportunity to repay our deeds and bring them on the right path. They teach us that wrong deeds have to bear the fruits, and good deeds definitely get a reward.
Measures to please Shani Dev and avoid negative effects:
-
Do this work on Saturday: Go to Shani temple every Saturday and offer mustard oil, black sesame, black urad or black cloth.
-
Worship of Peepal tree: On Saturday evening, light a mustard oil lamp under the Peepal tree and chant the mantra ‘Om Shan Shanishrai Namah’.
-
Help of the needy: Help the poor, helpless and needy people, especially Shani Dev is very happy to serve the scavengers, the disabled or the elderly.
-
Donation of black things: Donate black items like clothes, shoes, blankets or urad dal on Saturday.
-
Hanuman Chalisa text: Worshiping Hanuman ji and reciting Hanuman Chalisa also reduces the negative effects of Shani Dev, because Shanidev had promised Hanuman ji that he will never bother his devotees.
-
Shani Stotra of Dasharatha: Regularly reciting Shani Stotra of Dasharatha gives the grace of Shani Dev.
-
Iron donation: Donating any iron item also reduces Shani dosha.
Remember, instead of being afraid of Shani Dev, follow his principles. Do good deeds, stay honest and worship them politely, then they will definitely give you auspicious results.
