Origion of Lord Shani

Origin of Lord Shani as per Skand Puran • Characteristic of Lord Shani • Lord Shani & Lord Sun • Lord Shani & King Harish Chandra • Lord Shani & Muni Piplad • Lord Shani cursed by his wife • Lord Shani, Ravana & Hanuman • Lord Shani & King Dashrath

As per the story narrated from Bhavishya Puran, Sun is the father and Chhaya is the mother of Lord Shani. Chhaya has been called as Vikshubha or Suvarana also. In ‘Ganapati’ section of this Puran it has also been made clear that since his childhood, Lord Shani was a great devotee of Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna. Since his childhood, he remained absorbed in the devotion and the dedication of his deity, Lord Krishna. It is said that Lord Shani, remaining absorbed and thoughtful of his deity makes people deprive of their sins and pains through his three pronged lance and grants them the knowledge of their true form, thus breaking off the shackles of their misdeeds. Our Epics speak of Lord Shani, riding over the vulture, wearing blue cloths carrying bow and a trident (three pronged lance). As per Vedic astrology, Lord Shani owns seven riders i.e. an Elephant, the Horse, the Deer, an Ass, a Dog, a Buffalo and the Vulture. Its a slow moving planet having four arms. As per ‘Bhavishya Puran’, his face is looking polite and the eyes are half-opened. He always remains absorbed in the thoughts of Lord Vasudev (Lord Krishna). His pours are wet in deep thoughts of Lord Krishna. Lord Shani always remain in the prayers of his deity, he has lustre on his face like that of the burning fire, and he is a blackish beauty in complexion and wears the yellow cloths. He also has a most important and the righteous post among planets just because he acts as a courtier of the God. He owes the ideal role of Guru by purifying people through making them to bear with the results of their misdeeds, thus making them the pious and the pure ones.

A Mantra is a religious or mystical syllable or poem, typically from the Sanskrit language. Their use varies according to the school and philosophy associated with the mantra. They are primarily used as spiritual conduits, words or vibrations that instil one-pointed concentration in the devotee. Other purposes have included religious ceremonies to accumulate wealth, avoid danger, or eliminate enemies. Mantras originated in the Vedic religion of India, later becoming an essential part of the Hindu tradition and a customary practice within Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. The use of mantras is now widespread throughout various spiritual movements, which are based on, or off-shoots of, the practices in the Hinduism. Mantras are interpreted to be effective as sound (vibration), to the effect that great emphasis is put on correct pronunciation (resulting in an early development of a science of phonetics in India). They are intended to deliver the mind from illusion and material inclinations. Chanting is the process of repeating a mantra. The Sanskrit word mantra- consists of the root ‘man-’, "to think" (also in manas "mind") and the suffix ‘-tra’ meaning, tool, hence a literal translation would be "instrument of thought". In the context of the Vedas, the term "mantra" refers to the entire portion which contains the texts called Rig, Yajus or Saman, that is, the metrical part as opposed to the prose Brahmana commentary. With the transition from ritualistic Vedic religion to mystical and egalitarian Hindu schools of Yoga, Vedanta, Tantra and Bhakti, the orthodox attitude of the elite nature of mantra knowledge gave way to spiritual interpretations of mantras as a translation of the human will or desire into a form of action, with some features in common with spells in general. For the authors of the Hindu scriptures of the Upanishads, the syllable Aum, itself constituting a mantra, represents Brahman, the godhead, as well as the whole of creation. Mantra in Hinduism Mantras were originally conceived in the great Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. Within practically all Hindu scriptures, the writing is formed in painstakingly crafted two line "Shlokas" and most mantras follow this pattern, although mantras are often found in single line or even single word combinations. http://shanidham.in/page.php?l_id=55

Shree Sidh Shakti Peeth Shanidham SHREE SHANI PILGRIMAGE AT ASOLA, FATEHPUR BERI (SHREE SHANI DHAM - A PLACE TO GET RID OF ALL TROUBLES.)

Delhi, the national capital of India is also known for Shree Shani Dham Temple, with the highest Statue of Lord Shani in the world. This temple which is about 8-9 Km away from Mehrauli is situated at Asola, Fatehpur Beri, is equipped with the natural Rock Idol of Lord Shani, as the chief deity. Apart from this, the other fabricated idols are also established since long..

These Idols were being worshipped, adored for long- long times but in last few years i.e. on 31 May 2003 when the largest Radiant Shani Idol was unveiled by ‘Anant Shree Vibhushit Jagat Guru Shankracharya Swami Madhavasharam Ji Maharaj', Since then it has become the center of attraction for the devotees of Lord Shani. Remember, before this unveiling of the radiant Idol of Shani. Shree Sidh Shakti Peeth Shanidham Pithadhishwar Shree Shree 1008 Mahamadaleshwer Paramhans Daati Ji Maharaj (Nijswaroopanand ji Maharaj) had performed enchanting of Shani Mantras for one hundred Crores and thirty two lakhs (in numbers) on this sacred grove. With a result, the whole environment of the Shani Dham Premises has become so alive that most of the problems of the devotees of Lord Shani are automatically solved, when they happen to reach this temple. Whatever troubles are left behind, they are also solved by their worshiping here and by offering oil (Telabhishek) to Lord Shani. For the welfare of the common man, I had have pleased Lord Shani through his pungent accomplishment and pungent devotion. By the grace of Lord Shani, my only deity, I have been succeeded in establishing Shani Idols at Pali, Rajasthan and at Asola Fatehpur Beri, Delhi. Through the devotion and worship performed here, all the hardest of troubles and problems caused due to the adversity of Shani are extinguished within no time.
The pious site of Shree Shani Dham, Asola, Fatehpur Beri is divided into two parts the eastern and the western. Herein, apart from the highest of Shani Idol, the attractive endowed statues of other gods and goddesses are also erected. By worshipping through these statues, the devotees get their desires fulfilled. Apart from this, there is a big library and a research center, in the Ashram Premises itself wherein many a learned men keep on making research over Lord Shani as well as over other religious view points. Here, all sort of questions related to astrology, Ayurved, Yoga and the Tantra are being answered. Rather Sage Rajasthani ji himself remains available all the times in order to answer such questions to the curious devotees. He also suggests remedial measures thereof.
First of all, I would like to tell you about the eastern part of Shani Dham. On the top of it, the eight metalled largest radiant Shani idol has been erected. This Idol attracts the visitors from far away. The main door of this eastern part falls in the west side. The ‘Vastu’ of this part makes a visitor wonder struck for few moments. As soon as one enters into the main door, he prospects the huge radiate idol of Lord Shani and the Shani rock too. On North and south, both sides there are Shani statues erected, wherein Shani Maharaj ji is riding over his various rides. Prospecting these beautiful radiant Statues of Lord Shani, the visitor is strongly attracted and remains undone. On the left and the right sides of Shani Shila (Rock) the Statues of Bhairav Dev are established. Prospecting these statues the visitors get deprived of their sins, committed by them since the long-long births.
Those who visit the temple for the worship of Lord Shani, they Should enchant the Mantra ‘Om Sham Shanishcharaya Nameh’, ‘Om Pram Preem Prom Se Shanishcharaya Nameh’, ‘Om Sham Shanishcharaya Nameh’ or the plasm (Strotra) by King Dashratha, while circumambulating the ‘Shila Murty’. Thereafter they should offer Poojan Samagri (Pooja Material) at the Statue of Lord Shani. Keeping in view to the convenience of the devotees visiting Shree Shani Dham and maintaining the purity and cleanliness, as also keeping in view, the security norms, under the present changing circumstances Pujan Samagari for Worshipping Lord Shani is made available in the premises of Ashram itself. All of you are requested that any Samagri brought from outside the temple premises should not be taken inside. Please co-operate us to maintain the discipline. Get a Pooja Thali from the room near by, taking these offerings go to the Prime ‘Shani Pratima’ and put each material in the relevant pot meant for this. ‘Swallow-Wort’ (Aak) leaf and Shani yantra be offered at the feet of Lord Shani. Now come down at Shani Shila and lit the lamp and offer ‘dhoop’ also. Besides this, circumambulate Shani Shila for eight times. Black grams, weighing one and a quarter of Kilo must be dipped into water, on the Friday night. After cooking them well and putting salt, chilies and oil over it, these grams may be distributed throughout your way from home to temple. It makes Lord Shani pleased and the devotee gets rid of all his troubles.
In the east side of ‘Shani Shila’, is a big hall, wherein symbolic idols of the twelve 'Jyotirlings' are established. On the top of this hall, the huge eight metals statue of Lord Shani is posted. All the devotees get their desired wishes fulfilled, prospecting Shani Shila and Statue posted in the temple premises. On the eastern side of this hall, arrangements are made to provide “Pujan Samagri”. For security reasons as also to facilitate the devotees such an arrangements have been made. In another room, rare astrological books and material for Shani poojan is made available. Books and magazines published by Shani Dham on various occult sciences are also made available for sale. Near the main gate, there is an enquiry office, reception office and the publication department. http://shanidham.in/page.php?l_id=4

Special Rituals to be performed on ‘SHANI AMAVASYA’ and The Adoration to Lord Shani

An opportunistic day to perform remedial measures for ‘Pitra Dosh’ & Kaal Sarpa Dosh’ On each ‘Shani Amavasya’, such rituals are performed at Shani Dham. On such occasions special worship and ‘Telabhishek’ (bathing the idol of Lord Shani with mustard oil) are performed in order to get people deprived of all oppressions caused by Shani during the SadheSatti (Seven and a half years period), Dhaiya (two & a half years period) or it’s major period, the sub-period or the sub sub-periods. Such rituals are also useful in obtaining the kind grace of Lord Shani and getting success in various ventures.

No one coming to Shani Dham with great hopes, ever goes disappointed because the statue of the datti (Lord Shani) has been established here, after enchanting of one crore and thirty two lacs of Mantras.

Our ancient sages have very clearly declared that propagation of wealth, prosperity the honour and regard as well as knowledge is caused through the grace of gods and the Saints. However, recovery to diseases and the propagation of progeny can be attained by the grace of the manes (deified ancestors). One can attain only such things through worshipping and adoration of the gods & saints, which are under their jurisdiction.

Man attains the contentment of good health and nourishment as well as propagation of progeny with the grace & blessings of his manes. At certain places, you find such stories in our ancient religious books regarding obtaining the hirer (propagation of progeny) by the grace of some saint, even that can’t be called an exception to this rule. When we reflect upon such cases where they could get a hirer by the grace of some saint or an ascetic person, we come to know that even their manes were also pleased with them, yet they had been deprived of child. Having a diseased child is not because of ‘Pitra Dosh’ but due to some other misdeed of their per-birth. When they succeeded in getting the grace of gods and saints through their worship and adoration to them, having undergone the penance, they could overcome the result of their misdeeds of the pre births.

It is to be mentioned here that whosoever suffers ‘Pitra Dosh’ i.e. anguish of his manes, he can’t avoid performing such rituals, as, to please the gods and the saints, he certainly happens to perform such rituals as may please them. To pacify the anguish of his manes, many remedies have been mentioned in our Epics. In olden days, people generally used to worship gods and gratify their deified ancestors everyday during the dark fortnight of Ashwani month. Mostly people perform rituals for the gratification of their manes (pittar) annually. Despite this, those who suffer ‘Pitra Dosh’ they have to perform special rituals to pacify their manes (deified ancestors). http://shanidham.in/page.php?l_id=45
