Sani Mela Book PDF Download
Shanidev is the embodiment of Rudra. His body is like a blue sapphire gem. He wears a golden crown on his head, a garland around his neck, and blue clothing. He rides on a vulture. He holds a bow, arrow, a trident, and the Varadamudra in his hands. He is the son of Lord Surya and Chaya (Svarna). He is considered a cruel planet. In his view, the primary cause of his cruelty is his wife’s curse.
Lord Shanidev’s presiding deity is Prajapati Brahma, and his subordinate deity is Yama. His color is black, his vehicle is a vulture, and his chariot is made of iron. Shanidev resides in a zodiac sign for 30 months. He is the lord of Capricorn and Aquarius, and his Mahadasha lasts 19 years. To appease him, one should chant Mrityunjaya, wear a sapphire, and donate sesame seeds, a buffalo, iron, oil, black clothes, a sapphire, a black cow, shoes, musk, and gold to a Brahmin.
