The new year, 2026, is about to begin. People are filled with immense enthusiasm and excitement for the new year. Everyone is eagerly awaiting its arrival. The first day of the new year coincides with the auspicious occasion of Guru Pradosh Vrat. This day is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the God of Gods. Special prayers will be offered to Lord Shiva on this auspicious day.

According to astrologers, worshipping Lord Shiva eliminates the negative effects of malefic planets in one's horoscope. It also brings the blessings of Lord Shani, the god of justice, and the shadowy planets Rahu and Ketu. If you also wish to receive the blessings of Lord Shani, the god of justice, then worship Lord Shiva with proper rituals on the first day of the new year. Also, be sure to perform these remedies during the puja.
Remedies
On the first day of the new year, if possible, take a bath in the Ganges River; otherwise, bathe with water mixed with Ganges water. After that, offer water to the Sun God. Then, wearing white clothes, perform the anointing of Lord Shiva with Ganges water mixed with black sesame seeds. Performing this remedy pleases Lord Shani, the god of justice.
If you want to get rid of mental stress, then on the first day of the new year, i.e., Guru Pradosh Vrat, anoint Lord Shiva with milk during the puja. Also, offer white fruits and sweets to Lord Shiva. Performing this remedy brings the blessings of the Moon God upon the devotee.
On the first day of the new year, i.e., Guru Pradosh Vrat, donate items related to Saturn. You can donate black sesame seeds, black blankets, leather shoes, and slippers. Performing this remedy pleases Lord Shani, and his blessings are bestowed upon the devotee.
If you want to overcome financial difficulties, then be sure to worship Goddess Tulsi on the first day of the new year. After the puja, perform circumambulation of the Tulsi plant. Also, perform the aarti of Goddess Tulsi in the evening. Performing this remedy increases happiness and good fortune.
