Lord Sani

Lord Sani (spelt Shani in South India) is the son of Ravi (Sun God) and Chaya Devi. Hence, Sani is also popular as Chayanandu. Sani represents the planet Saturn in our Solar System and the Saturday of any given week. He stands for justice. His affects are more severe than other and lasts longer due to the reason that Sani moves very slowly. Every human being in the universe enjoys both joys and sorrows according to the karmic effects in the past life. Sani plays an important and special role amongst all the planets. Jaimini Maharishi has opined that the effect of Sani will be critically important, particularly in the present Kaliyuga age. Information about Sani is widely available in various Puranas and dharma sastras.

Unlike the common perseption, Lord Sani never unnecessary causes hurdles to anyone. It all depends upon the punya and papa effect that the native done in the previous janmas. If the native causes problems and hurdles to any one in the previous janma, Lord Sani will present janma causes problems with the dosha like Sade Sani, Dayya etc. If Sani in uttastana or in His friendly house, the native will be blessed with all earthly pleasures like heath, wealth and so on else the native will face hurdles, problems, litigations and unnecessary disputes. If natives are consistently suffering from undue problems, it may be construed that he is under the grip of Sani. However, we can reduce the negative effects of Sani by pleasing Him in different ways and means so that we can lead a good and comfortable life. It is our endevour to give some information about Sanis birth and other details for the benefit of the natives.

Transit of Sani and its effects on various stars

It is fundamental tenet of astrology that no planet is either completely benefic or malefic to any native. It depends on the running dasa and antar dasa and the transit of planets. It also depends upon the star that moon was occupying at the time of birth.

According to Puranas, the body of Lord Vishnu creates three types of grams ie., black, white and wheat colored grams. These three are said to be very holy ones. These grams are used in homas. Sani at one time or other gives both positive and negative results to the natives. He is the One to safeguard dharma by punishing the evils and make the native to realize the importance of dharma.
