Meditation, chanting, the reading of sacred texts, offerings of food and water, and cleansing are part of the ritual. Just as you adorn your body your spiritual body also accepts the fragrances of incense, flowers. An altar created with the deity and its sacred geometry, the yantra, and mala beads that are used in chanting of mantras provides focus for the energy of the divine and a seat of our consciousness. Center yourself and release any stress you may feel, breathe in through your right nostril and out through the left. Repeat with the left nostril. Release all negativity and open your heart to the energies of the divine. Ringing of a bell and inviting the energies, chanting the mantras and the cleansing and dressing of the deity, we are creating a connection with the cosmic divinity.

Glory, glory to Mother Kundalini, who through Her Infinite Grace and Power, kindly leads the Sadhaka from Chakra to Chakra and illumines his intellect and makes him realise his identity with the Supreme Brahman' - Sri Swami Sivananda.

Puja is believed to harness cosmic energy to achieve material or spiritual goals. "If one offers me a simple leaf, fruit, or flower with love and devotion, I will accept it." - Bhagvad Gita. Simply puja is only meant as an external aid, and is not an end in itself.

“Saturn is the planet of concentration, permanence, tangible rewards, tenacity, ambition, and productivity. This taskmaster planet also rules caution, delay, constriction, limitation, responsibility, rules and regulations, pain, fear, authority, discipline, control and denial.

Before you say, “Ugh!”, consider this: Without Saturn, we would see little or no progress. We live in a tangible world, and Saturn urges us to deal with reality. Without Saturn we would have no gumption, no standards, or controls, no structure – just chaos.

Saturn, the Great Teacher planet, brings maturity and teaches us the value of patience and sacrifice.”

Elucidation by Dr. T. R. Khanna (U.S.A.)

Oh Shining Light!

Oh omnipresent, omnipotent God, the Giver of Light!

May You give us that all-pervading bliss.

Oh Shining Light, our true heartfelt desire is to remain happy.

May this bliss also be useful for the spiritual growth and happiness of all.

That which is not mine to take and that which I have no control over,

That which is not mine to take and that which I have no control over,
Shani the universe is blessed by you,
I rejoice in your shakti, the plays of life as they unfold,
Some tragic, some beautiful, but all blessed by you
Om Shan Shanishcharaye Namah

Come let us rejoice in the beautiful energies of Saturn, blessings and energies that abound from you, Shani I am but a mere devotee , please strengthen my inner spirit and help me stay on my path

Shani your blessings are divine

To know you and feel your energies connect with my aura , Shani your blessings are divine , thank you for keeping me safe.

Shani ......my spiritual master

Shani bring into me your strength, your divine energy that illuminates my being, my connection to the universe is through you, you are my solitude, and you are my spiritual master

Empowerment of Inner Spirit

The universe gives you what you need or what you ask for ?

Several instances in life guide to to a higher truth and at the same time also you realize the fragility of the human spirit.
When you are obviously put down and shown no respect despite your efforts .......is being who you are and your niceness taken as being naive?

I know there is a lesson here .......... let go , do not be affected by what goes on, but really, is that possible?

I hurt inside and my mind is in turmoil, this is not fair!

Tell me , am I wrong ?

Yes Shani tells me not to be affected by what goes on, this is an empowerment of my spirit as he sees right!!!!!!!!
