Understanding Shani Trayodashi
Trayodashi is the day on which the thirteenth day of the lunar half falls on a Saturday. It is said to be a good and powerful day for the worship of Lord Shani. Believers feel that genuine prayers on this day may bring relief from sufferings brought about by Saturn’s negative placement in one’s horoscope.
Importance of Observing Shani Trayodashi
Saturn, or Shani, is typically considered to be filled with problems, postponements, and karma lessons. Anyone undergoing Sade Sati, Ardhastama Shani, or Ashtama Shani phases can expect more severe problems. Watching Shani Trayodashi is said to counterbalance these situations, providing relief and steadiness.
Rituals and Practices of Shani Trayodashi
Fasting (Vrat):
Fasters keep a rigorous fast from morning to evening and take water or certain foods after dusk.
Shani Puja:
You can perform Shani Shanti Puja, such as oil abhishekam, which is a must. People offer Black til seeds, mustard(sarson) oil, and blue flowers to Lord Shani on this day. You can Buy Puja Kits, Samagri, and Services Online through Online Temple for a complete and sacred experience at home.
Mantra Chanting:
Chanting the Shani mantra with devotion for seeking blessings:
“Neelanjana Samabhasam Ravi Putram Yamagrajam
Shhaya Martanda Sambhutam Tam Namami Shanaishcharam”
Meaning- I worship Lord Shani, who shines like a blue mountain, son of the Sun God, elder brother of Yama, born of Martanda and Chhaya, and who moves slowly in the sky.
It is recited on Saturdays and during Shani Trayodashi or Shani Jayanti for protecting oneself from the bad effects of Saturn and to draw blessings for self-discipline, patience, and justice.
Charity and Donations:
Donation of black clothing, iron, sesame seeds, and charity to the poor or crows are good deeds favoured by Lord Shani.
Worshipping Shani Temples:
Worshipping Shani temples at Pradosh Kaal (sunset time) greatly increases the strength of your prayers.
