*Om Sairam*

Kanchi Mahaperiyava’s ultimate remedy for all planetary afflictions, including those from Shani (Saturn), is to practice Sattvic discipline, chant the names of God, and engage in charity rather than resorting to fear-based or expensive rituals.On Senischara (Shani) Jayanthi, you can follow these specific teachings and practices rooted in His philosophy:

*Chant the Names of Lord Shiva:* Mahaperiyava emphasized that worshipping Lord Chandramouleeswara (or performing abishekam at your local Shiva temple) is the supreme remedy for all Navagraha-related hardships.

*Worship Lord Hanuman:* Periyava highlighted the power of Hanuman to mitigate the malefic effects of Saturn. Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa on this day brings immense relief.Practice

*Selfless Service (Daanam):* True to His message of helping the needy, you can donate black sesame seeds, black cloth, or mustard oil. Feeding cows, crows, and street dogs is also highly recommended to appease Shani Dev.

*Recite Sacred Texts:* You can read the Shani Stotra, the Shani Beejakshara Mantra, or spend the day writing Sri Rama Jayam to bring inner peace and karmic balance.

*Ultimately, Mahaperiyava taught that prayer should not be used to change the laws of karma, but to purify the mind and accept life's trials with grace. 🙏🙏*
