Shani Dev, 12th July 2024

Book puja online with your name and gotra, receive the puja video along with the Aashirwad Box, and gain blessings from the Divine.

✨ In Indian tradition, Saturday rituals are considered extremely powerful for gaining the grace of Lord Shani. When a grand worship joins with the energy of Saturday, it opens doors for deep karmic purification. Those who could not worship at the beginning of 2026 can receive the blessings of Lord Shani by joining this puja. This Saturday, a collective chanting by 21 learned priests will multiply the spiritual energy, providing protection from obstacles, relief from suffering, and peace from karmic flaws.

🌑 During the divine hours of this Saturday, chanting the Shani Mool Mantra 23,000 times is considered especially effective for calming planetary defects and heavy influences. This chanting, performed by 21 priests together at the Navagraha Temple in Dabra, is believed to help in removing career blocks, business stagnation, mental unrest, and recurring troubles. Experts believe that mantra chanting on Saturday gradually calms the harsh effects of Shani and opens doors to balance, discipline, and progress in life.

📿 Along with this, the 1008 recitations of the Hanuman Ashtak, performed with devotion by the same 21 priests, creates a strong protective shield. Lord Hanuman is the "Hero of the Modern Age" (Kaliyug) who removes fear, provides inner strength, and protects from crises. Reciting the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Ashtak on Saturday removes anxiety and mental heaviness while providing courage and stability.

🍃 The significance of this joint puja increases because it is believed that Lord Hanuman once rescued Lord Shani from the captivity of Ravana. Since then, Lord Shani grants special protection to the devotees of Hanuman. Therefore, this dual-power ritual in Dabra is a rare opportunity to find stability and relief from planetary troubles.

✨ If you missed the first Saturday of the year, join this Saturday through Sri Mandir to receive the combined blessings of Lord Hanuman and Lord Shani. 🙏


✨This Saturday, participate in a joint ritual dedicated to Lord Hanuman and Lord Shani to seek relief from the effects of Shani. ✨

🌑Why is Saturday significant for Shani worship? Saturday, or Shanivar, is traditionally associated with Lord Shani, who represents discipline, karma, justice and perseverance in Jyotish. Shani is believed to test patience through delays and responsibilities while ultimately rewarding sincere effort. Hence, Shanivar is traditionally considered an important day for Shani Puja, especially during challenging Shani periods. 🌑What is Shani Saade Saati and what does this period signify? In Jyotish, Saade Saati refers to Saturn’s approximately seven-and-a-half-year transit through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign in a person’s birth chart. This period is associated with greater responsibilities, important life lessons, patience and personal growth, and devotees seek Shani Dev’s grace to navigate its lessons with strength and wisdom. 🌑What rituals will be performed during this Mahapuja? The Anushthan combines Shani Saade Saati Peeda Shanti Mahapuja, Shani Til Tel Abhishek and Mahadasha Shanti Mahapuja. Til oil is traditionally offered to Shani Dev as part of Shani worship, while the Shanti rituals are performed with a Sankalp for relief from challenging planetary influences and greater stability in life. 🌑Why is Shri Navgraha Shani Mandir significant for this Puja? Shri Navgraha Shani Mandir in Ujjain is dedicated to the nine planetary deities, with special reverence for Lord Shani. Situated near the sacred Shipra River, the temple is traditionally associated with Shani worship and remedies, making it particularly relevant for a Saade Saati and Shani Mahadasha-focused Anushthan. 🌑 How will this Puja be performed on your behalf? Share your name and gotra for the Sankalp. Temple priests will perform the Shani Shanti Puja and Til Tel Abhishek in your name. You’ll receive WhatsApp updates, the Puja video, and a Divine Aashirwad Box with blessed Prasad after the ritual.

🪐 Why is this Shani Amavasya considered the final special opportunity of the year? Shani Amavasya is considered especially significant for worshipping Lord Shani, and in 2026, no other Amavasya falls on a Saturday after 10 October.

According to astrological beliefs, Sade Sati and unfavourable influences of Shani are associated with delays, pressure, and obstacles. With this sentiment, this Mahapuja is dedicated to prayers for relief from career-related obstacles, long-standing difficulties, opposition, fear, and negative circumstances. 📜 Which prayer to Lord Shani is associated with this ritual? The Navgraha Peedahara Stotra from the Brahmanda Purana describes Lord Shani as follows: “सूर्यपुत्रो दीर्घदेहो विशालाक्षः शिवप्रियः। दीर्घाचारः प्रसन्नात्मा पीडां हरतु मे शनिः॥” Meaning: May Shani, the son of Surya, with large eyes, beloved of Lord Shiva, and of serene nature, relieve me of my suffering. This prayer closely reflects the devotional sentiment of this Shani Shanti ritual. ✨ Why is this event especially significant on the final Shani Amavasya of the year?
