About Shani (Saturn) Mantras
Shani (Saturn) is the great karmic teacher who delivers justice based on one's past actions. Though feared, Saturn is actually a planet of discipline, hard work, longevity, and spiritual growth. Shani mantras are essential during Sade Sati, Dhaiya, and other Saturn afflictions to reduce suffering and gain Saturn's blessings.
