When Shani exerts negative influence, it dominates various material aspects of life, causing a decline in prosperity, health issues, confinement, or even legal troubles. Conversely, a favorable Shani can bolster businesses dealing with metals like machinery, furnaces, cement, wood, and oil. It can also facilitate scholarly pursuits or successful entrepreneurial ventures.

While everyone desires a positive Shani phase, there are remedies prescribed by Astrologer Parduman to mitigate the adverse effects of an impending challenging phase, reducing its impact.

Understanding Shani Dasha

In Hinduism, ‘Dasha’ signifies the lunar movement across constellations in the natal horoscope, marking specific time periods. There are various types of Dashas in astrology.

Mahadasha

Shani’s Mahadasha spans about 19 years, initiating with sub-periods or Antar Dashas that guide individuals through life’s lessons. It predominantly affects material pleasures like property, finances, and wealth. When Shani turns malefic, comfort diminishes.

Shani Dhaiya

Saturn’s presence in the 4th or 8th planet triggers a two-and-a-half-year period known as Dhaiya, laden with difficulties. Mythologically linked to Lord Shiva assigning Saturn the task of punishing wrongdoers, it’s depicted in epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata, portraying periods of hardship for protagonists. Saturn symbolizes life’s lessons, urging introspection and the accumulation of good deeds during phases of slow or limited growth.

Shani Sade Sati

Transiting Saturn from the 12th to the 2nd zodiac sign from one’s moon sign spans 7.5 years, termed Sade Sati. This period brings various challenges across the three zodiac signs, influencing life aspects negatively.

Remedies for Shani Dhaiya and Sade Sati

Various remedies, as per the ‘Lal Kitab,’ aid in overcoming these challenging phases and maintaining a positive perspective during Mahadasha periods:

• Recite Shani mantras extensively or in sets of 108 during auspicious timings.
• Perform ‘Havan’ rituals for internal cleansing and conclude with a ‘Mahadasha Havan.’
• Recite ‘Shani Stotra Path’ for mental peace.
• Use mustard oil and lamps on Saturdays under a Pipal tree.
• Chant ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ for positive outcomes.

Remedies for Antar Dasha & Mahadasha

• Perform Rudrabhishek to honor Lord Shiva and pour water on Shivling on Mondays and Saturdays.
• Recite ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ in temples on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
• Pour cow’s milk with sesame seed & water on a shivling on Saturdays.
• Abstain from alcohol and non-vegetarian food; consume khichadi made of rice and black urad lentils.
• Apply mustard oil on the body and nails before sleeping.
• Wear black-colored clothes to counteract Mahadasha’s impact positively.

In conclusion, facing the Shani Dasha warrants following these remedies while praying for personal and familial well-being.
