Performed by Veedamurthy Nithyananda Gokhale
Shani Shanti is a deeply spiritual and traditional Vedic ritual performed to appease Lord Shani (Saturn), one of the most influential and powerful planets in Vedic astrology. Saturn represents discipline, karma, delays, and life lessons. While it can bring great wisdom and strength when well-placed, an afflicted or malefic Shani can cause hardships, health issues, emotional challenges, or professional struggles.
Veedamurthy Nithyananda Gokhale, an experienced astrologer and Vedic priest, performs Shani Shanti with complete devotion and strict adherence to scriptural methods. His guidance provides clarity, peace, and spiritual strength to those going through testing periods influenced by Shani.
Why is Shani Shanti Performed?
In Vedic astrology, when Saturn occupies challenging positions in the birth chart or during planetary periods like Sade Sati, Ashtama Shani, or Shani Dasha, individuals may face difficulties in various aspects of life. Common signs that may prompt the need for Shani Shanti include:
Long-term struggles or delays in career, marriage, or finances
Sudden losses, setbacks, or recurring misfortunes
Emotional heaviness, fear, or confusion
Strained relationships or isolation
Legal or karmic complications
Shani Shanti is recommended to help balance these energies, reduce Saturn’s harsh influence, and bring steadiness and focus into life. The ritual invokes the grace of Lord Shani to support spiritual growth, emotional resilience, and karmic healing.
