Guest guest Posted October 31, 1996 Report Share Posted October 31, 1996 Hello : It is very rare to have name "Shanipriya " for a child .There must be a reason for such achoice . Bhagavan Sani is the son of Surya . Among all the planets (Nava Graham ), he moves the slowest in a majestic fashion. He blesses those immersed in samsaaric sufferings and is particularly fond of Siva Bhakthaas . He is dark in color according to Mantra Sastraas . Composer Mutthuswami Dikshithar has drawn a beautiful pen portrait of him in Sanskrit in his composition " Diwakara Thanujam Sanaiswaram " set in Raga Yadhukula Kambhoji. He is worshipped by Maalini mantra ( One of the Navagraha Mantraas)and is fond of blue flowers. He is the Lord of Makara and Kumba raasis according to the Jyothisha Saastram doctrines. When one has sani Dasai , it is a difficult period and --maximum 7 and half years-- and one waits for a considerable period of time to get out of it. He is worshipped in Tamil Nadu in a Temple for him at ThirunaLLaaru near Karaikaal . Deepams burning gingelly oil and Sesame seed rice are pleasing to him. Hence worshippers offer them to him to get his blessings.His vehicle is Crow. He limps as a result of being hit on his knees by Kala chakram in a fight. He is considered equivalent to Kamadhenu in his capacity to give boons requested by his devotees. I have no clue for the choice of such a rare name for the child . Hence , It is difficult for me to comment on the appropriateness of such a name as Shanipriya for a child..

I have been told that the name had something to do with the planet Saturn. Could you please tell me what it really means and if it is a good name for a girl.
