“नीलांजन समाभासं रवि पुत्रं यमाग्रजम, छाया मार्तण्ड सम्भूतं तम नमामि शनैश्चरम”

Shani Puja/Shani Grah Puja & Yajna (शनि पूजा और यज्ञ): I bow down to Lord Shani Dev who is effulgent as that of a blue mountain. He is the son of Lord Surya (sun god) and the brother of Yama (god of death). He is born to Chaaya and Martand (another name of sun god).- Shani Grah Puja

Who has to perform Shani Puja?

Shani Dev never troubles people needlessly. Nothing comes to us that we do not deserve. None can escape the clutches of karmic cycle meaning what we do comes back to us some time. Therefore, it is not proper to condemn Shani Dev for what we suffer. When we repent for our past bad deeds and desire to correct ourselves, Shani Dev is highly pleased and blesses us.- Shani Puja
Shani Dev mantra has to be chanted for 23,000 times during the Saade Sati period within a stretch of 23 days meaning chanting 1000 mantras a day. Chanted with sincerity and devotion, the mantra can alleviate all the sufferings and confer the benevolent grace of Shani Dev. Also Shani Dev does not trouble the devotees of Hanuman. Therefore, worshipping Hanuman will also help to a great extent in averting the troubles of the Saade Sati period.- Shani Puja
