Jai Shani dev ji ki! Jai Hanuman ji ki!

Jai Shani dev ji ki! Jai Hanuman ji ki!
As per various mythological legends, Lord Rama, a progeny of the Sun and a gem of the 'Raghukul' was exiled due to the anguish of Lord Shani. Also,Ravana invaded Lord Shani’s territory, since he was overambitious for attaining immortality and  had imprisoned Lord Shani.
Now, Lord Shani remained in Ravana’s imprisonment till Lord Hanuman reached Lanka, in search of ‘Maa’ Sita. When Hanuman ji's tail was set on fire, then with the help of his tail, he set Lanka on fire. He found Lord Shani in the basement of Ravana’s palace. At the humble request of Lord Shani, Shri Hanuman ji made him free from the confinement. Consequently, Lord Shani stared at Lanka through his slayer aspect and Lanka got ruined within no time. Thus Shri Hanuman received the help of Lord Shani in his attempt to ruin  Lanka. Since Lord Shani  had got pleased with Hanuman ji, he asked him for a boon.. At this, Shri Hanuman got a promise from Lord Shani that he may not trouble those people who are the devotees of Lord Hanuman.
Hence, to this day, we worship Lord Hanuman too, to protect ourselves from the wrath of Shani Maharaj.
