The new moon day of the Bhadrapada month is called Pithori Amavasya. This year, this date is falling on 23 August, Saturday. Due to falling on Saturday, it will also be called Shanishari Amavasya. According to astrology, by worshipping Shani Dev and taking a bath and donating on this day, troubles like Shani Dosh, Sadesati, and Dhaiyya are removed. It is believed that Shani Dev gives fruits according to the deeds and by doing special measures on this day, he becomes happy and showers his blessings.
Chanting mantras on Shani Amavasya is of utmost importance. It is said that chanting the mantra "Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah" 108 times brings mental peace, increases self-confidence, and removes obstacles in life. This remedy is very beneficial for those who are suffering from Shani Sadesati or Dhaiyya. Chanting this mantra with devotion regularly pleases Shani Dev and removes negativity from the life of the devotee.
Shani Dev is especially associated with black sesame seeds. Offering black sesame seeds in the temple on Shani Amavasya or offering them on Shani Yantra at home is considered extremely auspicious. Apart from this, lighting a lamp by adding black sesame seeds to mustard oil is also beneficial. By doing this, the effect of Shani Dosh is reduced, and happiness and prosperity come in life. Offering sesame seeds immediately gives the blessings of Shani Dev, and obstacles start getting removed from the life of the person.
Charity has special importance on Amavasya. On Shani Amavasya, especially black items should be donated. These include black clothes, blankets, black urad, black sesame, iron utensils, and mustard oil. Giving these to a needy or poor person not only gives virtue but also reduces the pain of Saturn. It is said that donating brings stability and progress in a person's life. Shani Dev is quickly pleased by serving the poor and unhappy people.
The importance of fasting on Amavasya falling on Saturday increases manifold. On this day, devotees keep a fruit fast and meditate on Shani Dev throughout the day. Fasting not only gives virtue but also calms the Shani Dosh present in the horoscope. Also, devotees get health benefits, and financial problems gradually start to reduce. It is said in the scriptures that those who want to get the blessings of Shani Dev must fast on this day.
The Peepal tree is considered very sacred to please Shani Dev. Worshipping the Peepal tree on Amavasya or Saturday and lighting a mustard oil lamp under it reduces the effect of Shani Dosh. It is believed that both Lord Vishnu and Shani reside in the Peepal tree. On this day, doing seven rounds of the tree, offering water, and lighting a lamp not only removes Shani Dosh but also brings happiness and prosperity in the family. Devotees believe that with this remedy, the pending tasks are completed, and peace remains in life.
