Shani Amavasya, 8 June, 2013

Shani Amavasya - Auspicious Day of the Lord Shanidev:

Shani Amavasya is the moon day that falls on a Saturday (Shanivar) on a traditional

Hindu/Vedic calendar. Amavasya is considered inauspicious by many and the fear of Lord
Shani is well known as he is believed to create havoc in the life of a person. So Amavasya
falling on Saturday is considered highly inauspicious by many and in 2013 the only Shani Amavasya date is the 8th June...

Shani Amavasya -  Day of the Lord Shanidev:

I offer my most humble and prostrated obeisances at the lotus feet of the great terrifier
and son of Suryadeva. I humbly beg for his blessings to compile this article to make people
aware what a great personality he really is."

People suffering from Pitra Dosha (The Curse of an ancestor) and Kaal Sarpa Dosha (The
Curse of a snake) conduct remedial pujas on this day. Various other rituals dedicated to
Lord Shani are performed on this day as well.

Performing Shraddha prayers meaning paying tributes to one’s ancestors are considered to
bring success, so people perform this ritual on Shani Amavasya. Do note that Shani-dev
doesn't only give sorrow but also gives happiness on this auspicious day.

This new moon night is a time to heal obstacles and retarding forces in your life. This Shani
Amavasya is a great occasion to do some reconfiguring of your karmic balances. On new
moon nights especially those falling on Saturdays create mental imbalance, stress,
confusion and chaotic activities in life as well as obstacles to achieving goals. The obstacles
arise out of the confusion of mind.

The positive aspect of Amavasya is that the mind being 'absent' (moon=mind), it is capable
of being in silent watchful and recording/observing mode when nourished and protected by
healing and specific mantras. Mantras are special sound vibration sequences that protect
the mind. ('man'= mind, 'tra'= to protect.).
