Shani Kavach

Shani Kavach

  Last week I had mentioned the Shani Kavach in my blog, which was in the original Sanskrit. The important ancient holy texts of the Hindus, called Puranas deal extensively with rites and rituals of Hinduism. Shani Kavach/ Kavacham  is from the18^th(incomplete)Brahmanda Purana.  

(Kindly refer to http://ioustotra.blogspot.in/2009/08/shani-kavacham.html for the details mentioned below)

‘   Here, Kashyapa is the rushi, Anushtup is chanda, Shanaishchara is Devata, shiim is shaktii, shooma is kiilakam and it is recited for Shanaishchara devata.

    1 He has worn blue clothes, his body is also blue and he has a crown on his head shining in blue rays. He is desirous of causing fear to those who are after money. He has four hands, he is son of Surya and he is always happy. He who is calm and quiet is requested for blessing to me.

    2 Brahma said. O! All rushies listen, originated from Surya, a very auspicious kavacha of shani which makes us free from all type of troubles from shani.

    3 This kavacha is loved by shani himself and this kavacha is the place where shani devata likes to live. It gives us all type of happiness i.e. wealth, health and anything we desire and makes us/our body very strong like a weapon called vajra.

    4 Om I bow to shanaichara. Let my forehead be protected by suryanandana (son of surya). Let my eyes be protected by Chayatmaja (born from shadow). Let my ears be protected by Yamanuja (younger brother of God Yama).

    5 Let my nose be protected by Vaivaswata. Let my mouth be protected by Bhaskara, Let my throat be protected by SnigdhaKantha. Let my arms be protected by Mahabhuja.

    6 Let my shoulders be protected by Shani and my hands be protected by Shubhaprada. Let my breast be protected by Yamabhrata. Let my kukshi be protected by Asita (who is unbounded).

    7 Let my navel be protected by Grahapati. Let my loins be protected by Manda. Let my breast be protected by Antaka. Let my knees be protected by Yama.

    8 Let my feet be protected by Mandagati. Let all other parts of my body be protected by Pipala. Let my middle part of the body, Private parts of the body be protected by Suryanandana.

    9 Whosoever recites this auspicious kavacham of son of Surya (Shani Kavacham), will be free from any troubles by Shani.

    

    Prabhu Shani always destroys all evil effects arising from the time of birth.

    Here completes this Shani Kavacham which is from Brahmananda Purana and discussed By God Brahama with Narada Rushi.

    Shani when not favorable in our horoscope, then we may receive troubles by Shani. When Shani is in aspect of/or with Mangal, Sun, Rahu, Ketu or Harshal in the horoscope; or if Shani is in Mesha, Vrischika, or Sinha rashies in the horoscope; or if Shani is in 12th, 2nd, 7th, 1st, 8th, or 12th house in the horoscope at the time of birth then Shani is unable to produce good results ,times hence this Kavacham is to be recited daily three times, to be free from all such troubles. Please recite with Faith, Devotion and Concentration so that this Shani Kavacham will be more effective. Hanuman devotion (Upasana) is also good for Shani’s unfavorable position.’

OM SHAMM SHANISHCHARAYA NAMAH!
