Shani Shanti Pujan is worship of Shani Dev, traditionally offered during Sade Sati, Dhaiya or a Shani period. It includes sankalp, Shani abhishek with sesame oil, mantra jaap and havan, performed by Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji in Ujjain, a city with a well-known Navagraha Shani temple at Triveni.
Significance
Shani Dev is the planet of discipline, patience and the fruits of one's own karma. In Vedic astrology, Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Shani transits the sign before, of and after one's Moon sign, and Dhaiya is a shorter period of two and a half years. Many people experience these as testing times, but tradition also treats them as periods of learning and maturity.
Devotees worship Shani on Saturdays with sesame oil, black sesame, blue flowers and recitation of Shani mantras, such as ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः, along with acts of service and charity. The traditional jaap count is often given as 23,000, or a multiple, and Guruji will confirm what suits your package.
The Navagraha Shani Mandir at Triveni in Ujjain is a well-known site of Shani worship, though this pujan is performed by Guruji at a pujan sthal and we are not affiliated with any temple. No result is promised; it is an offering of faith.
