The Shani Mantra is chanted to seek the blessings of Lord Shani (Saturn) for protection, discipline, and the removal of obstacles. Here are two commonly used Shani Mantras:
1. Shani Beej Mantra
This mantra invokes Lord Shani’s energy and is considered powerful for reducing malefic Saturn effects:
Mantra:
Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaishcharaya Namah
ॐ प्रां प्रीं प्रौं सः शनैश्चराय नमः
Meaning:
I bow to Lord Shani, who is the slow-moving planet and the embodiment of discipline and justice.
2. Shani Dev Mantra for Protection
This mantra is recited for grace and protection from Saturn’s challenging periods like Sade Sati or Dhaiya:
Mantra:
Om Nilanjana Samabhasam Ravi Putram Yamagrajam Chhaya Martanda Sambhutam Tam Namami Shanaishcharam
ॐ नीलांजना समाभासं रवि पुत्रं यमाग्रजं छाया मार्तण्ड संभूतं तं नमामि शनैश्चरम्
Meaning:
I bow to Lord Shani, who is dark like blue sapphire, the son of the Sun, and born to Chhaya, who moves slowly yet bestows justice and rewards.
How to Chant:
- Face east or west while sitting on a clean mat.
- Light a mustard oil lamp near an idol or image of Lord Shani.
- Chant the mantra 108 times (1 mala) on Saturdays.
- Offer black sesame seeds, mustard oil, or blue flowers to Lord Shani.
Chanting with devotion and consistency can bring relief and balance during Saturn’s challenging periods.
