👉Understanding/Anusandhana of #Saturn🙏The Shani Mahatma...➡️ Saturn a friend or a foe?

While Sun (Ravi) is known as Graha Raja (King of Navagrahas), Saturn (Shani) attains lot of significance & highest popularity among Navagrahas & is the most fascinating planet. to be cont..

Lord Shani is worshiped and adored by people from all walks of life and also is a point of contention for grief and suffering. We find lakhs of people visiting Navagraha temples, rather out of scare, performing austerities to appease especially Lord Shani.
++

He is considered as a personification of restrictions, adversities and limitations.

Regarded as the most dreaded planet for obstruction, distress and calamity, people believe that if there is one planet who can make a king out of a pauper and vice versa, it is Shani. ++

He is more misunderstood and also more confusing entity in our mundane existence.

When we look at the celestial role of Shani Mahatma, He is a #Dandanaadhikari with a task of dispensation of justice according to one’s Karma phala and punishing the evil doers.
++

It is more or less like a Home portfolio and Lord Shani is absolutely unbiased in this regard. Perhaps, Lord Shani is the best teacher in life.

No doubt, He is a task master. ++

"Dandam Dasa Gunam Bhaveth". When all the methods of mending a person are exhausted like Sama, Dana, Bhedha, and the person doesn't heed and keeps on doing evils, Nature takes its own course and invokes the Dandam (Stick) in the form of Lord Shani (Saturn). ++

He is an agent of Karma and an administrator of Karmic law. He is only discharging the role given to him. Saturn reminds that in the Universal Karmic law everyone has to pay for their misdeeds. ++

Lord Shani is also capable of giving good results. Befitting to his slow nature (slow and steady wins the race); the results bestowed by Saturn will be long lasting.
++

Lord Shani bestows upon an individual, the qualities of hard work, patience, steadfastness, perseverance, honesty, judging capacity, compassion, charitable nature, discipline etc.

He is a planet of wisdom and spirituality who helps us to gain philosophical qualities. ++

Saturn helps us to bust our ego.

All our sufferings in the world are caused by our own ego-centric misconception and consequent arrogance characterized by our ever multiplying demand for wealth and desires.

Ego is the greatest enemy of human beings. ++

Saturn is a great ego buster who sanitizes the mind, destroying pride of an individual. He is a great teacher, friend, philosopher who refines the behavior of an individual who is made to realize the realities of life & worthiness of human birth by throwing challenges in our path

Saturn’s Gochara periods especially Sade-Sathi is an opportunity for an individual to re-position himself in life. ++

If only one can understand the role and significance of Lord Shani, Saturn the Shani Mahatma is the best Divine friend who helps us to recognize and makes us conscious of the ultimate realities of life. ie..
> Hari Sarvottama - Vaayu Jeevottama
> 'nAham kartA hariH kartA'

When we achieve success/accomplishments we always try to take credit for ourselves ignoring the Supreme Reality, the cosmic force behind. Due to which ego develops (I am the doer), commits mistakes/suffer.
++

When our suffering is due to our prarabdha we try to blame it on Shani or other Grahas and suffers due to ignorance.

One has to take several births to understand 'nAham kartA hariH kartA' ++

Saturn, for that matter Navagrahas have specific role & signification; They are representatives of the Primordial Supreme God Vishnu. They are the Universe's agents of the Law of Karma.

Law of Karma is equal to one and all; there can’t be any bias and Saturn has no favorites. ++

Shani is not Eeshwara - He is to be pronounced as #Sanaischara, the one who moves slowly. He is also known as #Mandha the one who is slow/dull.

Neelaanjana Samaabhaasam Ravi Putram Yamaagrajam
Chaayaa Maarthaanda Sambhutam ThanNamaami Sanaischaram!! ++

Shani is a great devotee of Lord Vishnu born in the lineage of Sage Kashyapa Prajapathi in Solar line with Sun God himself as his father.

Lord Yama & Yamuna (River Goddess) are His siblings born to Surya and His wife Samjna Devi. Tapathi (River Goddess) is his sister. ++

Basically a Demi God born to Lord Sun and Chaaya, Shani is much lower in Taratamya. As per Tattvavaada/Taratamya, Sanaischara is placed in 25th kakshya;
> Anusandhana...
Sri Sanaischara-DevataAntargatha
Sri BhaaratheeramanaMukhyapranaanthargatha
Kuurmaroopi Bhagavantha; ++

Navagrahas are not mere planets in the solar system. They are Devatas with a divine background. If only one can go through the meaning of slokas one can understand the divinity behind them. ++

One should not ignore worshiping Navagrahas. They should also be worshipped along with other Demi-Gods always with proper anusandhana....

What primarily #Saturn teaches is,
We are not #independent - We are #dependent.

This lesson if one does not learn his sufferings never end. But if one gets this point into the head and starts worshipping Mukhyapranantargata #VISHNU and also look at #Shani as dependent on Vishnu through which we get to learn. Then there will be a smooth going.
