An introduction to the Navagrahas ... Spotlight on Shani(Saturn)

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Thank you to Sadhviji for sharing the interesting article on Saturn - it is

wonderful how such interactions - sharing articles, number of times we chanted a

mantra, and our efforts in doing the sankalpa - serve to keep us all focussed on

our common goal on completion of the sankalpa.

 

Here is the next in the series on the Navagrahas... Shani or Saturn. My sincere

thanks to Ruk for the transcript of the talk with Swamiji...

 

==================

 

Saturn (Shani )

Mantra: Om Aim Hrim Shrim Sanaischaraya Namah

 

Shani restricts and defines and is considered by many as the lord of discipline.

He defines us to our discipline and keeps us from going out in every direction

at the same time. If you look at Shani he is the obstacle that keeps us from

going every which way. Or one can say he keeps us focused.

 

If you don't know what you want, then Shani is without control. He becomes the

obstacle himself. But when you know what you want then you rein in Shani.

 

Shukra is saying there is some attraction in the world, but Shani controls by

restricting us to our path. He creates the discipline so we are successful in

keeping our goal rather than going off on any tangents! There is a proverb,

"Jemi Drishti, Temi Shristi". Just as is your perception so is your creation

(your understanding).

 

When you have a clear definition of your goals then Shani (Saturn) brings that

to fruition.
