Remedy for Sani bad effects: an Oil Bath every Saturday??

[Guest guest]

Dear Sunil,

 

You are correct in your statements about 'oil bath'. In South India, til oil is

known as gingelly seed oil also. I used to have oilbath every Saturday whenever

possible. I have not heard of it as a remedy for the negative effects of Sani

but maybe the learned members can comment on this. My experience is that it is

good for the hair and sort of helps to calm the nervous system (note that Sani

rules majju dhatu or nerves) as well as maintain the skin tone. My Biology

teacher, who was a Muslim, used to regularly preach about the benefits of

taking an oil bath and his whack was something to be dreaded by all of us

students, especially as he was very well built and muscular!

 

Hope this helps.

 

regards

Dear Learned members,

I read recently somewhere that one very good remedy for Sani's sadesati and

maleficiance is having oil bath on Saturday, it mentioned that it is a normal

custom in south indian families.

 

There are many south indians on this list,

1. can anyone verify the correctness of the above statement and add anything extra to it.

2. If we have to take oil bath, should it be in til oil (til in hindi, i think

in english it is sesame pls correct me here) or would any oil do.

3. Has anyone followed this remedy and what has been one's experience.

 

If this remedy is valid then I feel it would be an easier remedy for those who

are unable to recite mantras.

 

Would be obliged,

 

Sunil John

Dear Hari,

Good explanation to Sunil's query.

I am given to understand that offering oil to Lord Hanuman on Saturday helps to

remove the evil effect of Shani.

Though there is mythology to support why Hanuman is prayed on Saturday, could

offering oil to Hanuman (and not oil bath to oneself) be astrologically

co-related as a reply to Sunil's query on removing the ill-effect of shani's

sadesati?

Best wishes,

Shubhangi

Dear Sunil, Namaste,

I do not know whether the following is relevant or not, but just in

case; some notes;

 

- I have seen in Delhi in the Shani Mandir, people offering Mustard

Oil to Lord Shani, e.g. in the form of simple oil lamp. I go there

myself when I visit Delhi, the experience is powerful, long ques

forming on Saturdays.

- I am not 100% sure, can not remember exactly, but I guess the

Hanuman Temple is next to the Shani Temple there, this may be beyond

simple coincidence.

- Oil massage, not oil bath, is a very basic thing in Ayur-Ved

called Abhyanga, it is best done with Sesame oil, or one can use

other oils like olive oil or Coconut oil if Sesame oil creates

alergies. It is very good to sooth the nervous system and rejuvenate

the body. It is simple to do, one can do it by oneself and I beleive

requires less oil than a bath.

- As you well know, there are other and easy to apply remedies for

Lord Shani, it looks the oil bath could be tedious. Also one can

strenghten areas of the horoscope that are affected during Shani's

SadeSati.

- Also if one does things in the way Shani likes, e.g. to be simple,

humble, honest, disciplined, patient, enduring, express the truth as

it is, much as an ascetic or Saddhu is etc., then probably Shani

Deva looks down and sees the person in the way He likes, and does

not create much problems to correct and guide him towards His goals

and preferences. My thinking is that the Grahas and Devas are not

there to punish us, but to guide us towards the better. If one makes

up his mind, and openly expresses and displays the correct

behaviour, then I beleive the Divine does not see much reason to

punish us. Of course there may be some bad karma that has been in

the past, and it may be that the karma is returning, but the law of

karma is for the evolution of man, so if the person is already doing

efforts in the correct direction, then probably the returning karma

does not hurt as much as there is not mcuh need left for that.

Just some humble thoughts and observations.

 

Best Wishes, Sabri.
