Scripture

According to the Hindu scriptures, Saturn is contemplated as a cruel planet and it is believed that Saturn is a callous planet who deduces justice by pondering over our past deeds. The planet Saturn is foreseen as a backer of all kinds of impediments, hardships, sufferings, afflictions, depression, poverty. Moreover, Saturn is said to be 'Karma Fal Data' and the planet gives us results as per our good/bad deeds. Hence, in order to seek the blessings of Saturn, one should possess good code of conduct, respect for females, so as to reap the fruitful results as per your karma. For instance, if a person possesses a malefic and weak Saturn placement in his/her horoscope then the person has to encounter miserableness, throes and anguish throughout his life. Moreover, due to the weak placement of Saturn the progress of an individual becomes very slow-going even after working very hard. On the contrary, if the planet Saturn is favourable in a person's horoscope, then it might prove to be a silver lining for the person, as the person can achieve success, name, fame in his/her career. But, under the adverse effects of the planet Saturn worshiping Lord Shani or using Shani Yantra can ward off all the malefic effects of Saturn thus, bringing peace and serenity in the life of a person. People also perform Navgrah Shanti Puja on the day of Shani Jayanti in order to venerate Lord Shani. A myriad of devotees are witnessed streaming at the temples of Lord Shani so that their luck quotient gets enhanced.
