BRIGHT HALF OF THE MONTH =

AASHAADDA SUDDHA THRAYODASI

Some say Saturday is Thrayodasi and yet others say it is Chathurdasi,

but whatever Saturday belongs to Saturn , Mighty Shaneeswara .

Namasthe Shaneeswara Deva we aare all aware that YOU exercise

YOUR influence on all of us mortals atleast twice in our lifetimes ,

lasting for a period of Seven and Half years each time , while YOU

are sojourning in our janma raasi and rasis on either side of our Raasi,

for a period of two and half years in each of those three raasis .

Our only request is O Lord Kshamaswam , Rakshamam , Om Shaanthi-

OM NAMO SHANEESWARAAYA NAMO NAMAHA OM .

Lord Shaneeswara Bless All . Be compassionate, Kind and

Considerate . Please accept our Offering of Black Thils

(sesame seeds) along with jaggery mixed in milk .

SHANEESWARA is The Son of Soorya and Chaaya and an

Elder Brother of Yama Dharma Raaja (Pluto)

SHANEESWARA is Blue , attired in Black Robes; even HIS

teeth are black.

SHANEESWARA rides on a chariot with A Crow Pennant.

HE is lame in one leg . HE has broad eyes (Hyper Telorism )

SHANEESWARA is Cross-Eyed = A Squint (Strabismus).

HE is always walking around with Downcast Eyes as HE does

not want to look straight into people's faces -

OM NAMASTHE SHANI DEVA , NAMASTHUBHYAM .

SHANEESWARA confines HIMSELF to One Corner and keeps

HIMSELF aloof and all by HIMSELF. - NAMASTHUBHYAM.

SHANEESWARA is Tall , Thin , Emaciated and Looks Fearful ,

but do not be afraid- THAM NAMMAAMI SANASWARAM .
