Om Shanaye Namaha
Salutations to Saturn
About This Mantra
Om Shanaye Namaha invokes Shani (Saturn), the graha of discipline, karma, time, restriction, and the hard-won wisdom that comes only through experience and suffering. Saturn is the most feared planet in Jyotish, but this fear reflects a misunderstanding of his nature. Shani is not punitive; he is precise.
How to Chant
Chant with solemnity and patience -- Saturn responds to seriousness, not enthusiasm. Dark blue or black clothing honors Saturn. The mantra should be chanted slowly and deliberately, without rushing. For remedial purposes, combine with acts of service to the elderly, the poor, and the disabled, as Saturn governs those who society marginalizes.
