Or why does someone start trembling even when standing in front of them? Know the secret behind this and what is the glory of God.
Saturn being the god of justice
All the nine planets are important and the deities have a special title. Just as Sun God is considered the king of the planets, Mercury is considered the minister or prince of the planets, Mars is considered the commander. In the same way, Shanidev has been given the title of Nyayadhipati or God of Justice. Whenever a person commits any crime in the society, Shani Dev prepares the account of his bad deeds. According to this the person is also punished. From Shani Dhaiya, Sadesati to Rahu and Ketu become active to give punishment.
The mystery of Shanidev's curved vision
People knowledgeable about religion and worship method say that Shanidev should not be worshiped while standing in front of him. Don't look God in the eyes. What is the reason behind this? According to Pandit Ramavatar Shastri, one should not worship at all while standing in front of the idol of Shanidev. The idol of Shani Dev should not be installed in the house. The reason for this is the retrograde aspect of Saturn. As soon as Saturn's retrograde aspect occurs, a person's bad times begin. One has to face many problems and sufferings.
Why is everyone afraid of Shanidev's crooked vision?
According to the stories, Shanidev's wife was very bright. One night he came to Shani Dev to have a son but Shani was engrossed in Lord Vishnu. The wife waited for a long time but the worship of Shani Dev was not completed. He insisted on Shanidev. But he ignored it. Due to which Shanidev's wife became angry. He cursed Shani Dev that whoever he sees will be destroyed. This is why it is advised to avoid sight of Shanidev. Avoid looking into their eyes.
Why does oil cover Saturn?
According to mythology, once Sun God's disciple Hanumanji went to Shanidev to convince him. Hanumanji explained a lot but Shanidev did not agree and got ready to fight with force. Hanumanji defeated Shanidev in the war. Shani Dev also got seriously injured in this war. To reduce the wound and pain, Hanumanji applied mustard oil to Shanidev. Due to which Shani Dev said that whoever anoints me with oil, I will not hurt him. I will bear all his troubles. Since then there is a tradition of offering oil to Shani Dev.
Why choose black color?
Saturn is the father of Sun, the king of the planets. His mother is Chaya. According to astrological stories, Shani Dev could not bear the brightness of the Sun in the womb. The shadow of his mother fell on Shanidev. Due to this the complexion of Shanidev turned black. Seeing Saturn's complexion, Surya refused to accept him as his son. Shanidev could not tolerate this from his father and since then, despite being son and father, there has been enmity between Shani and Surya.
Shani is most dear to Shanidev. On this day, most people light a lamp under the idol of Shanidev or under the Pipla tree. It is said that Saturn is a symbol of darkness. They become very powerful after sunset. If Saturn is afflicted, suffering and poverty come into life. In such a situation, lighting a lamp on Saturday evening removes the darkness of life. Shanidev is pleased.
