As the year 2024, known as Shani year, approaches each day meticulously, individuals facing hardships and challenges in the verge of Shani Sade Sati or Shani Mahadasha are worried for their ever evolving and transformative lives. Below given are 7 effective ways to please Shani Dev in order to minimize the doshas and negative effects of Shani Dev.
1.Reciting the ‘Shani Mantra’ and ‘Shani Strotam’ – As mantras are considered powerful tools for connecting individuals mentally and spiritually with the respective deity, reciting Shani Mantra or Shani Strotam turns out to be fruitful. The vibrations and meanings of these words are believed to hold transformative and spiritual significance.
2. Engage in Karma Yoga – Recognizing that Shani Dev governs karma and rewards or punishes individuals based on their deeds is his prime motto. Shani Dev is known to be benevolent to those who perform good deeds, aligning with the quote “You reap what you sow.”
3. Charity Works – As Saturn is associated with karma, voluntary donation to the less fortunate individuals with genuine love and intent to help, without expecting anything in return is considered highly auspicious. These small yet impactful acts are practical ways to please Lord Shani, bringing personal satisfaction.
4. Illuminate a lamp with Sesame/Mustard Oil – Lighting a diya, especially on Saturdays, the dedicated day for Shani Dev is considered beneficial. Wearing black clothes on Saturdays and offering items like black sesame seeds, urad pulse, iron utensils, and blankets are suggested to acquire favourable results.
5. Discard Intoxicants – It is advised to discard and abstain all the intoxicants from your life, as Lord Shani is pleased by those who abstain from alcohol and non-vegetarian food. Offering sweet milk to a banyan tree is believed to bring positive outcomes.
6. Worship Lord Hanuman – Every Saturday, chant the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’, to worship Lord Hanuman. Saturdays are associated with Lord Hanuman, and offering jaggery and black chana to monkeys is believed to attract good fortune.
