SHANI AMAVASYA

‘SHANI AMAVASYA’ and The Adoration to Lord Shani

An opportunistic day to perform remedial measures for ‘Pitra Dosh’ & Kaal Sarpa Dosh’

On each ‘Shani Amavasya’, such rituals are performed at Shani Dham. On such occasions special worship and ‘Telabhishek’ (bathing the idol of Lord Shanidev with mustard oil) are performed in order to get people deprived of all oppressions caused by Lord Shanidev during the SadheSatti (Seven and a half years period), Dhaiya (two & a half years period) or it’s major period, the sub-period or the sub sub-periods. Such rituals are also useful in obtaining the kind grace of Lord Shanidev and getting success in various ventures.

Our ancient sages have very clearly declared that propagation of wealth, prosperity the honour and regard as well as knowledge is caused through the grace of gods and the Saints. However, recovery to diseases and the propagation of progeny can be attained by the grace of the manes (deified ancestors). One can attain only such things through worshipping and adoration of the gods & saints, which are under their jurisdiction.

Man attains the contentment of good health and nourishment as well as propagation of progeny with the grace & blessings of his manes. At certain places, you find such stories in our ancient religious books regarding obtaining the hirer (propagation of progeny) by the grace of some saint, even that can’t be called an exception to this rule. When we reflect upon such cases where they could get a hirer by the grace of some saint or an ascetic person, we come to know that even their manes were also pleased with them, yet they had been deprived of child. Having a diseased child is not because of ‘Pitra Dosh’ but due to some other misdeed of their per-birth. When they succeeded in getting the grace of gods and saints through their worship and adoration to them, having undergone the penance, they could overcome the result of their misdeeds of the pre births.

It is to be mentioned here that whosoever suffers ‘Pitra Dosh’ i.e. anguish of his manes, he can’t avoid performing such rituals, as, to please the gods and the saints, he certainly happens to perform such rituals as may please them. To pacify the anguish of his manes, many remedies have been mentioned in our Epics. In olden days, people generally used to worship gods and gratify their deified ancestors everyday during the dark fortnight of Ashwani month. Mostly people perform rituals for the gratification of their manes (pittar) annually. Despite this, those who suffer ‘Pitra Dosh’ they have to perform special rituals to pacify their manes (deified ancestors). What is ‘Pitra Dosh’ & Remedies for  ‘Pitra Dosh’ Pitras are our own anscestors who have been thrown into pretha yoni or any other lokas and as a result of this they become extremely restless and sad and expect to get mukti from that state through the karma of their succesors they are considered to be more important to a person than any other devathaas(excluding sadguru) as they will be having blood relationship with their successors.they are considered equal to gods.as this body ours has come into existance because of our anscestors,pitra dosha nivarann is considered to be a very important duty of a person. if the pitras are satisfied and happy with ur shradd(actions offered with shraddha) they can bring joy and clear ur path to success in all spheres. There are many rituals of pitra dosha nivarann. Titr dosh is one of the biggest obstacle on the path to siddhi. Success is almost not possible if one has pitra dosh in ones life. How To Recognize it in Kundali 9th house in a horoscope is calledhouse of dharma, father. When 9th house is under influence of malefic planets, this shows the lack of fulfillment of paternal desire. Natural malefic planets like sun, mars, Saturn, may be yogakarak for some lagnas, but rahu and ketu are always malefic for all lagnas. I have found that when 9th house, 9th lord, 9th house from the moon or the lord of 9th from the moon is under influence of rahu and ketu this indicates Pitra Dosh. Such natives are physically and mentally handicapped have such affliction.
