Shani Yantra: Benefits Mantra Meaning

Understanding Shani Yantra Meaning in Vedic Astrology

Hindus tremble at the name of Shani. Shani is the most dreaded divinity among the Hindus because the influence of its planet Saturn on people's lives brings ill luck and misfortune. Therefore, Shani Dev is worshipped by people to fend off malign force and any such hurdles that may come by into their world. In astrological diagram Shani, the Saturn, is one among the most important planets. Such is the effect of Saturn's influence that regardless of how good the other planets are aligned in the astrological chart of a person it still fails to bring good result. When Shani enters a person's life it stays for seven and a half years before it moves out. This period is called Sade-Sati or Panauti.

Shani in literal sense means the "slow-moving- one" and according to traditional stories Shani oversees the "dungeons of the human heart and the dangers that lurks there." Also known as Krura-lochana, "the evil-eyed one", brings down even the most powerful and potent. According to Hindu mythology it was Shani Dev who chopped off Lord Ganesha's Head. He rides a chariot and carries a bow and arrow, his chariot is pulled by a vulture and he wears blue cloth, blue flowers and sapphire.

Shani Yantra Benefits / Speciality

In order to pacify the evil effects many people pay obeisance every Saturday by lighting a lamp for Shani Dev and reading the Shani Mahatmyaham. People also worship Shani Yantra to appease the deity. Yantra in actual sense means "instrument or machine"; it is a geometric design that channels spiritual energies and direct the users to great levels of consciousness. When one focuses on a Yantra he becomes in-tuned with the higher level and Yantra works like an antenna by attracting powerful energies from the universe.

Shani Yantras are used to appease the deity Shani Dev and to nullify ill effects of Saturn. The use of Yantra will prove beneficial during Saturn's transit or Sade-Sati as it wards off the negative force and thereby neutralizes the bad effect. It has spiritual benefits on its users; it brings worldly gains and helps them to succeed in life. The Yantra with mantras engraved on it is more powerful than the image of the deity. The Mantra is like the mind consciousness while the Yantra is the form of the deity.
