News Topical, Digital Desk : Shani Dev is considered the god of justice and the giver of the fruits of karma. His worship holds great significance in Hinduism. However, when it comes to installing him in a home temple, elders and scholars often object. This is not just due to fear, but also due to deeper spiritual and astrological reasons. Let's find out.
Effect of Shani Dev's sight
According to astrology and mythology, Shani Dev was cursed by his wife that anyone he looked directly at would suffer harm. This is why his gaze is considered "cruel." According to scriptures, one should not look directly into the eyes of the idol of Shani Dev. Since homes are small and we move around constantly, his gaze can fall on us even unknowingly, which is considered inauspicious for family life.
Why should the idol of Shani Dev not be kept in the house?
According to religious beliefs, Shani Dev is a recluse deity. He loves solitude and discipline. Noise, laughter, and sometimes impurity in the home are not conducive to Shani Dev's worship. Keeping his idol in the home and even the slightest deviation from the rules can anger Shani Dev, leading to family tension or financial difficulties.
What is the correct way to worship?
According to astrology, Shani Dev should always be worshipped outside the home, in a temple or under a Peepal tree. Instead of worshipping Shani Dev directly at home, worship Lord Hanuman or Lord Krishna. It is believed that Shani Dev never troubles devotees of these two deities.
Special rules to get the blessings of Shani Dev:
On Saturday, go to Shani Mandir and light a mustard oil lamp.
While worshipping, always look at his feet, not at his face.
Donate black sesame seeds, black urad dal or black clothes to the poor.
Shani Dev loves cleanliness, so keep your surroundings and conduct pure.
