Saturday's great remedy: This small puja performed today will keep you away from troubles throughout the year.

News Topical, Digital Desk : In Hinduism, Saturday is dedicated to Shani Dev, the god of justice. It is believed that Shani Dev rewards a person according to their deeds. If Shani Dev is pleased, a person can rise from pauper to king, but his evil eye can increase struggles in life. If you take certain measures this Saturday, you may remain blessed by Shani Dev throughout the year.

Do these measures on Saturday

1. Lighting a lamp near the Peepal tree

Lighting a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree on Saturday evening is considered the most effective remedy. According to religious beliefs, all the gods and goddesses reside in the Peepal tree, and lighting a lamp there on Saturdays reduces the effects of Shani Dosha (Sade Sati and Dhaiyya). Chanting the mantra "Om Shan Shanaishcharaya Namah" while lighting the lamp is even more fruitful.

2. Donation of mustard oil and donation of shadow

Mustard oil is a favorite of Shani Dev. Donate mustard oil on this day. A special tradition is called "Chhaya Daan," in which one looks at one's face in a bowl of oil and then donates it. According to Vedic astrology, this practice is beneficial for one's health and mental peace.

3. Service to black animals and birds

Shani Dev's vehicle is the crow and he loves the color black. Feeding bread to a black cow or giving oil-coated bread to black dogs on Saturdays is considered auspicious. This remedy not only pacifies horoscope defects but also helps remove obstacles in your career.

4. Reciting Shani Chalisa and Hanuman Chalisa

It is stated in the scriptures that those who worship Lord Hanuman are never troubled by Shani Dev. Reciting the Shani Chalisa along with the Hanuman Chalisa on Saturdays acts as a protective shield. This remedy increases self-confidence and protects against accidents.

5. Help and charity to the needy

Shani Dev is the "giver of karma." On this day, donate black gram, a black blanket, or shoes to a poor or needy person. Psychological and spiritual research shows that selfless service brings peace of mind and radiates positive energy.

Some special precautions you should take are:

One should avoid buying iron, oil or salt on Saturday.

Do not harm any innocent person or animal, because Shani Dev gets angry with those who do injustice.
