In Hindu mythology, appeasing the planets or “grahas” is believed to bring about positive changes in one’s life. Among these, appeasing Saturn or Shani Dev holds significant importance. It is believed that lighting a lamp beneath the Peepal tree can appease Shani Dev and mitigate the adverse effects of Saturn in one’s life.
According to astrology and numerology
Saturn is associated with challenges, obstacles, and hardships. Its unfavorable position in one’s birth chart or “kundli” can bring about various difficulties such as health issues, financial problems, conflicts with enemies, and fear. However, by seeking the blessings of Shani Dev, these challenges can be overcome, and one can attain mental peace and prosperity.
Shani Chalisa, a forty-verse prayer dedicated to Lord Saturn, is recited by devotees to invoke his blessings and alleviate the malefic influence of Saturn. By chanting Shani Chalisa, devotees seek relief from Saturn’s unfavorable position in their birth charts and aspire for happiness and abundance in life.
The act of lighting a lamp beneath the Peepal tree is considered auspicious
Especially on Saturdays, which are dedicated to Shani Dev. The Peepal tree holds sacred significance in Hindu culture and is believed to be the abode of various deities. Lighting a lamp beneath this tree is believed to appease Shani Dev and attract his blessings.
When Saturn is pleased, devotees experience relief from ailments, debts, enemies, and fears. Moreover, they attain mental peace and confidence to face life’s challenges with resilience and optimism.
The practice of lighting a lamp beneath the Peepal tree and reciting Shani Chalisa is deeply rooted in Hindu traditions and is believed to bring about positive transformations in one’s life. By seeking the blessings of Shani Dev, devotees can overcome obstacles, achieve prosperity, and experience inner peace and contentment
