Hanuman related - Sani dosh parihar through worship Hanuman and other gods

 Why praying to Hanuman and other gods give relief against Sani dasa/dosha

This is an article to explain why proper worship of lord Hanuman helps to remove or reduce the effect of the transitional affections of Lord Sani planet fro m one house to another. The effect will be there for up to 7 and half years. two and half years before coming to the house, two and half in the house and tow and half years after going out of the house to the next one. The first two and half years comparatively  mild, next period severe and the final period again less and some times some benefits also at the time of going out of the house. Let us see.

During the transit of the planet Sani the hose in which it has entered may affect the persons born in that rasi and other rasi connected. People coming under these rasees will have to undergo problems from mild to severe intensity depending on the rasees and the birth stars of the persons concerned. For the proper guidance and advices people concerned may approach competent astrologers. But there are some general religious remedies which will eliminate or at least reduce the effect of the Sani Dosh.

 Sani dasa period of Hanuman

One version is that When lord Sani felt it is time for Hanuman to come under his influence or effect, he came to Hanuman. Hanuman was sitting in a room. Sani sat on Hanuman's shoulder to start his effects. Lord Hanuman immediately started increasing his size using his ability to do so. He increased his size to such a level that Lord Sani was caught sandwiched between the should or Hanuman and the ceiling of the room. He was squeezed tight and was about to be crushed. Lord sani pleaded with Lord Hanuman that Sani will not trouble Hanuman any more and also will not harm or at least reduce the malefic effects of anyone who prayed to Hanuman.On this assurance Hanuman released lord Sani.

Another version of the above

It is known to all Hindus that tall the planets transit from house to houses and each take its own specific time to cross over from one house to the next. Lord Sani takes two and half years. All scriptures explain that Lord Hanuman as a extremely knowledgeable, a vedhanthi and an extremely strong one. Sani do not spare any one form its turn to punish. Even the thrimurthees (Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara)  were not spared. Lord Ganapathi escaped by fooling Sani. Dhrama Sastha was freed by Sani as Sani was troubled by Sastha and Hanuman escaped by his strength. Lord Sani was proud that even the thrimurthees did not have escape from his and others are no match to him Thinking this Sani felt that Hanuman's turn has come for the trouble, and went to Hanuman. Hanuman did not like the expression of Lord Sani and Hanuman thought of teaching a lesson to Sani. Sani said to Hanuman that your time to come under my effect is slightly overdue and be ready to face the effect. Hanuman smiled to himself and said O K please come. Sani was enraged with the attitude of Hanuman and  his hairs were erect with the anger. Hanuman used his power to increase in size and became so huge like a mountain and caught hold of the hair on the head of Sani which were standing erect due to the anger and started swirling so fast that Sani felt miserable and the pain was unbearable.  He requested Hanuman to release him and promised that he will not trouble Hanuman. Hanuman put a condition that not only he (Hanuman) but but anyone who is a devotee or who worship him (Hanuman) should not be troubled by Sani. Lord Sani agreed to this condition upon which Hanuman released Lord Sani.

One more version of Sani dasa of Hanuman

Lord Hanuman was in deep meditation of Lord Ram by chanting lord Ram's name. Lord Sani thought of teasing Hanuman. When he tried to do so Lord Hanuman warned him to get off as he respect Sani as the son of Hanuman's Guru Lord Surya (Sun) and do not want to hurt his as far as possible. But Lord Sani did not listen to his warning, Lord Hanuman started thrashing Lord Sani. Lord Sani could not withstand this and pleaded with Hanuman that he will leave Hanuman. Hanuman took a promise from Lord Sani that he will not go near to devotees who pray to Hanuman or those who meditate on Lord Ram. 

Helped Lord Sani from Ravan

As per Ramayan  Hanuman had rescued Lord Sani from the clutches of Ravan who had enormous power and strength due to the blessings of Lord Siva. In gratitude Lord Sani promised Hanuman that he will not trouble those who prayed to Hanuman.

Because of these reasons people who worship Hanuman are not troubled by lord Sani.

Worship  of other gods for Sani Dosha Parihara


Offering proper worship to Lord Siva, Lord Ganesha, Lord Dharma Sastha, Lord Sani himself  and Lord Hanuman are believed to give relief against Sani dosha.For more effect these worships are to made on Saturdays.

Visiting Saneeswar temples or temples where Navagrah with Saniswar is installed is considered good. There are few temples in South mainly in Tamilnad where Saneeswar is a main deity like Thirunallar Karaickal in Pondichery state; Koochanur in Theni district; Suryanar temple near Kumbakonam - Mayiladuthurai; Vaidyanatheswar temple of Madavarvalaakam in Srivalliputhur near Chennai and Nachiyar temple in Thanjavur are considered to give very good effect.

Performing neeranjana on Saturdays at Ayyappa (Sastha) temples are considered as to good relief. Neeranjana is lighting lamp with a special wick of a black cloth piece filled with black sesame seeds (black til seeds, ellu). (put sesame in cloth and make a pouch and tie the cloth to keep the sesame in the pouch). The tied end will have the cloth protruding as a thick wick. Soak this in till (gingelli) oil and place it in a lamp. Pour sufficient oil in the lamp to burn the cloth pouch fully and light the end of the cloth.   The person suffering from Sani dosha should stand near the lamp so that the smoke coming from the lamp is availed by the body through nose and skin. It it done for a specified number of Saturdays relief should be available,

Chant Sani Gayathri every day mornings during pooja time.

Chant Saneeswara manthra (oum sree Saneeswaraya namah) 108 times everyday during the trouble period

Give rice with some sesame mixed to cows daily.

Give food to hungry persons. Give clothing to persons with tattered cloths on Saturdays. Giving iron items as gift is considered good.
