The Significance of Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah

One of the most well-known deities, Shani Dev is the brother of Yama, the god of death, and takes on the role of judge. He punishes or rewards one based on their karmas. Many fear Shani Dev because of his power to turn a royal into nothing in a flash. In his angry state, he has not hesitated to destroy those who block his path—including gods, monsters, and men. This is why it is important to keep Shani Dev content. 

Shani Dev only punishes people if it is deserved. Karmic forces are like tides that ebb and flow throughout the centuries. The past, present, and future are parts of one big cycle. All the good, all the bad, and all the ugly that we do, we cannot escape its impact. The cycle continues without fail, whether we are aware of it or not. Thus, we cannot blame Shani for when we suffer. If we repent for our past mistakes, he will bless us.

In Vedic astrology, Shani is said to be associated with the planet Saturn. When Shani was a baby, he opened his eyes and caused the sun to go into an eclipse, which illustrates his strong connection to astrology. This planet represents the working class and reminds us to treat everyone as equal. Saturn’s two astrology signs are Aquarius and Capricorn.
