How to Chant Mantras

How to plan the Mantras and Japa practice
You should set aside time daily to do your mantra practice. If you are doing yoga or
meditation, these can be added to them.
You should sit in a lotus or half lotus pose facing east in the morning or north in the evening.
The early morning or evening is the best time for this.
Weekly, you should do a planned japa, using any of the mantras and repeating them at least
108 times.
Make a commitment and stick to it. If you can commit to a daily japa, then do so. Otherwise
weekly is good.
The main thing to remember is to do them with devotion with your mind involved in the
practice. Focus on the clearing of your inner energy and slowly you will find that the blocks clear and
the light becomes stronger.
Do remember that it takes time. Do not expect instant results. Daan - Donation - Giving your
time, support and money.
Donation to the right causes is considered one of the most important remedial measures.
You can donate your time and give support and money to worthy causes. Making the world a better
place for others is an excellent way to cleanse your past karma and good remedy for Saturn.
If you cannot afford to give financially, give time. Supporting the poor and giving towards
education and knowledge are two very worthy causes. You must give often. Giving on your birthday,
the monthly tithi day and at important festivals is a good time. But donation must be done regularly
and should become part of your life. Also you cannot lead a negative life now and hope to absolve
everything through donation.
Path of Yoga - Mental, physical and spiritual clearing
Following the eightfold path of yoga teaches all the tools required to cleanse and enlighten
the soul. Some of the most important aspects of this path are speaking the truth, performing the
right actions, doing meditation, mantras and japa, following the discipline of yoga asana, a proper
diet, and a non- violent life dedicated to higher knowledge. This is a difficult path for most to follow
but even to follow a part of it helps with Saturn issues.

Mantra, and Japa - Reciting sacred sounds

This is one of the most important elements of the inner yagya. Mantras are sacred sounds or
prayers that are addressed to a deity or planet, and repeating them continuously is japa. The sounds
form an energy that burns away negativity from the subtle body.
Man also means the mind or thoughts and tra means to protect, so the mantra literally
protects the mind through chanting sacred hymns.
Mantras did not originally have any meaning. They were single words like Om or Ram, Lam,
Vam etc. The mantra has to reach the place to which it is directed. If you are praying to the deity,
you focus the mantra towards that; if you are unhappy, you ask to be made happy while chanting; if
you are creating light and purifying your panchanga, you must focus specifically on that.
Mantras are powerful but everything depends on how you chant them; they are recited in
different ways. Sometimes the vowels are stretched so they can reach where they are meant to go.
Sometimes mantras have just one word or a series of words. The importance and power of the
mantra lies in its vibration. The vibrations of the mantras reach different parts of the physical and
subtle body and beyond. As thousands of mantras have been chanted since time immemorial, we
also connect to this when we begin chanting.
 Mantras repeated constantly become japa. Japa is used to cleanse the mental and higher
planes. You can also do japa by writing the mantras down in a note book 108 or 1008 times. This
becomes a meditative exercise.Mantras are either effective or ineffective. Their weakness or
strength depends on how they are chanted, pronounced and with what degree of faith. If done
properly it is called a strong mantra. If not, then it is weak and may not be potentUsually a mantra is
chanted either once, thrice, 28 times or108 times. Once should be enough but if you decide you
need to do more, you try for 108 times which is the ideal number. Sometimes people decide they
are going to perform 10,008 or 100,008
Mantras over a particular period in order to show their devotion to the deity. In my opinion,
if you do it right with the correct attitude, the mantra will be effective performed just once daily, but
it should be done regularly.
Japa can be done in greater numbers - 108 or 1008 daily. This is extremely helpful with any
of the difficult panchangas.
MANTRA: To be chanted on Saturday, two hours and forty minutes before sunrise, especially
during major or minor Saturn periods:
Remember always to chant Lord Ganesh sloka before chanting any mantra

The Saturn mantra when vibrated eases bad Saturn energies and transits, and directs and
sublimates the Saturn energies. Saturn when properly directed brings a positive sense of self-
discipline, endurance, and organization. Saturn also can bring success and advancement through
hard work, especially in the career.

3. Recite the Navagraha Shani Stotra:

Om Neelanjana Samabhasam
Ravi Putram Yamagrajam
Chhaaya Martanda Sambhutam
Tham Namami Shanaischaram

When translated in English, it means:

1. Complexion that is blue, Son of Ravi ( Sun), Brother of Yama ( God of death ) Son of
alliance between Martanda ( another name for Sun) and Chayya ( His shadow wife) I say the name of
Shanaishvaram ( Saturn)
2. I bow to Shani who is as black as a black collyirum, who is the son of Surya born through
Chaya, whose brother is Yama and who moves slowly.
3. "I bow down to slow-moving Saturn, whose complexion is dark blue or black like nilanjana
ointment (black as a black collyirum). Whose elder brother of Lord Yamaraj, who is born from the
Sun god and his wife Chaya.
4. O Son of the Sun and the Imparter of Patience and Perseverance. I bow down to Thee!
5. I pray to Saturn, the slow moving, born of Shade and Sun, the elder brother of Yama, the offspring
of Sun, he who has the appearance of black collyrium.
"To recite 108 times on Saturdays and 11 times every day.You may also opt to chant
following Puranic mantra for propiating the Saturn (23,000 times) within 7 and 1/2 years. Thus, by
reciting this Shani Mahaamantra by doing 10 Maalaa per day, it will finish in 23 days.
If the person is young, then his parents can do it for him. While this praying is on, the person should
eat simple food; he must sleep on the floor on a bed sheet and live the life of a ‘Brahmachaaree’. It
should be remembered that the praying of the Shani Mahaamantra should be done at one stretch in
one sitting at one place.
You can chant this mantra for at least 7 times a day, because Shani is the 7th planet counted
starting from the Sun. However, if you are troubled by Shani it would be better to chant the above
mantra for 108 times a day.
On the positive side, you have to understand that the sufferings which you undergo are
merely wages and that Initiation is a process of intensive culture and accelerated evolution. Many
lessons will be learnt during this phase. It is said that the wise recognise Negativity as an inevitable
clearing process and maintain equanimity.
Get benefited with "Eka Sloka Navagraha Stotram" which is basically a small mantra for all
the nine grahas (planets) in the solar system. The chanting of this mantra will be highly effective
against not only the unfavorable Shani transit but also to fend off the negative influence of all the
other grahas.
 Chanting Mantras reduces much evil. These mantras must be chanted during Sani hora or
sani rise time facing west

4. Shani Pidahara stotram written by Ved Vyasa

Also it is said that Shaneeswara Swamy is a very great devotee of Lord Shiva. As mentioned
in the "Navagraha Pidahara Sthothram" of "Brahmanda Purana", anybody who chants the following
sthothra is relieved from all the ill-effects of Shaneeshwara Swamy placed in bad houses. You can
chant the following sloka to ward off the negative radiation of Elarata Saturn.

Puja by learned Brahmin scholars, who impart it with the necessary Pranic (Positive) Energy.

Relationship within the nuclear family. An adverse placement of Saturn can cause a rift
between a person and his progeny, wife etc. If that happens the following Stotra called Shani Gayatri
gives immediate relief.

The first Shlok is Dhyan or reflection on the manifested form of Saturn.

An alternative to this is following Mantra. It has an additional benefit of removing problems

caused by Mars also. It is an extremely beneficial Mantra and in my view both should be part of daily
chants.

Saturn. The second is the mantra proper. The third is a summary of the mantra's energies.
The Gayatri mantra is chanted at sunrise, noon and sunset. At dawn it is called Gayatri, the
youthful form of the Goddess, consort of Lord Brahma, the creator. It is called Savitri, the mature
form, at noon, the consort of Lord Shiva. It is called Sarasvati, the elderly form, at sunset, the consort
of Lord Vishnu.
The following is the special name (Nama) mantra for the Saturn as preceded by its Shakti or
power mantra. It can be used to connect with the planetary deity and to energize all the higher
powers of the
 Gayatri, kaafee laabhkaari hain, nitya 108 paath karnaa sab ke liye laabh kaari hai.

8. Shani Shodasanama stotra by King Dasaratha

Saturn enters the star constellation of Rohini once in every 30 years. This is one of the most
dreaded transits of the kings and his kingdom. The scriptures say “Kings will die and kingdomes will
fall when Shani enters Rohini”. It is said that during the reign of king Dasaratha when Shani was
about to enter Rohini Nakshatra, king Dasaratha worshipped Shani and pleased with his prayers
Saturn did not enter Rohini during the reign of king Dasharatha. Hence the Dasaratha Shani stotras
are considered an excellent remedy for Saturn related troubles.The following is from Skanda Purana
It is best to chant Shani Shodasanama stotra of Raja Dasharatha .Chanting Mantras reduces much
evil. These mantras must be chanted during Sani hora or sani rise time facing west

13. Ast Shani or combust Saturn

If Saturn is placed in close proximity to Sun in a horoscope, he loses his capacity to give
favorable results. This however does not reduce his inauspicious results. As a consequence of this,
Saturn becomes unreliable. A person with Ast Shani is buffeted by the ups and downs of life
frequently. The remedy for this is the daily recitation of Shani Vajrapanjar Stotram given in
Brahmand Puran. The Stotra starts with this Shlok.

16. Story of Raja Dashratha

There are a couple of stories behind the King of Ayodhya- Raja Dashrath and Shani Bhagwan. The
first one goes thus;

Emperor Dasaratha was the only person who called Lord Shaniswara for duel as he was to cross his
country bringing drought and poverty. Lord Shaniswara extolled Dasaratha’s virtues and replied to
him that “I can’t skip my duties but I’m pleased with your courage. Great sage Rishyasringa can help
you. Wherever Rishyasringa lives, that country will have no drought and dryness”. Dasaratha after
receiving the blessings from Lord Shaniswara wisely resolved the difficult situation by making
Rishyasringa as his son-in-law. ‘Santha’, known to be daughter of Dasaratha, was married to
Rishyasringa so that he is always present in Ayodhya.

The second story and mythology says so;

Saturn enters the star constellation of Rohini once in every 30 years. This is one of the most dreaded
transits of the kings and his kingdom. The scriptures say “Kings will die and kingdoms will fall when
Shani enters Rohini”. It was during the reign of Raja Dashrath of Ayodhya Shani Dev was to do his
Rohini Shakat Bedan and the outcome would have been a 12 year period of drought and famine in
his kingdom of Ayodhya.

Raja Dashrath initially tried to defeat Lord Shanidev, but failed and as Shani Dev is well-known as the
Nyay Devta and the dispenser of Justice, Dashrath tries to appeal to him in all humility not to do
Rohini Shakat Bedan. The ideal king realizes that the only way to avert the catastrophic drought and
famine in his land is to evoke the kindness of Shani.

Raja Dashrath then composed a Stuthi or Couplets praising Shanidev, pleading for his kripa and
benevolence. Widely known as Dashrath Uvach also known as Dashrath Stuti, the lyrical and
evocative appeal of Dashrath pleased and moved to tears the Dispense of justice- Lord Shanidev,
who then gave Raja Dashrath the vardaan or vow not to do the Rohini Shakat Bedan.

The Dashrath Uvach or Dashrath Uvach or the Dashrath Krit Shani Mantra/Stotra as the Sherlock is
called, has its own purifying effect when viewed, read or heard on a Saturday. The devotee who
repeats or sings the Dashrath Shani Uvach seated under a Peepal tree and donates black gram, iron,
oil and black sesame to the poor will get relief in the trials he is put through in the shani dasas. He
who repeats or recites the shlok will be blessed with abundance and well being and will never know
scarcity.

Hence the Dasaratha Shani stotras are considered an excellent remedy for Saturn related troubles.

Shani Kavacham meaning

Shani Kavacham is in Sanskrit. It is from Brahmananda Purana.

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.

10 Even if in any horoscope if Shani happens to be in Twelfth house, First house, Second house or
eighth house or in Seventh house will give good results on reciting this Kavacham every day.
(Otherwise in the above described houses Shani becomes unfavorable and bad results are seen.)

11 Eighth house, Twelfth house, first house, Second house

are considered very bad houses for Shani and very bad results are seen, observed and experienced.
However anybody having Shani in the above houses in his horoscope if recited this Shani Kavacham
daily becomes free from all troubles.

12 This is a very auspicious and spiritual Shani Kavacham is very ancient (old) creation. This removes
all the bad effects of Shani when it occupies 12th, 8th or 1st house in the horoscope at the birth time
which are evil houses for 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.

The Hanuman Chalisa

The Chalisa of Hanuman is really one of the best remedies for Shani transit on an individual's
birth chart. The best day to go for it is Tuesday and it is also advisable to visit the Hanuman temple
on Saturdays during the phase of Shani Dasha. The influence of lord Hanuman is extremely effective
against Shani basically because of the promise given by Saturn after the lord rescued him from the
demon king Ravana. From the same day it is believed that whoever is under the shelter of Lord
Hanuman will be spared from the negative influences of Shani.

Recite Hanuman Chalisaa or any other Hanuman Stotra daily

22. Moksha Mantra and Maha Mrityujaya Mantra

Om Thrayambhakam Yajamahe
Sugnadhim Pushtivardhanam
Oorvarukamiva Bandhanan
Mrithyor Moksheeya Mamrithath Om

Meaning
We worship the three-eyed one (Shiva) who is fragrant and nourishes all beings. Just as a
cucumber falls from its creeper and is detached from bondage, so Shiva will help us liberate the soul
from death and find moksha (self-realisation) and amrita (the nectar of immortality).

This is also known as the moksha mantra and chanted by those who are seeking self-
realisation and moksha. It is one of the best mantras for panchanga shuddhi as it bestows long life,
peace, wealth, prosperity, satisfaction and immortality. It helps those who are ill, or who suffer from
fears, depression and worry.This is one of the mantras constantly given by Parashara for remedial
measures. Especially good for all Shani upaya. This mantra is heavily used to ward off Saturn's
attacks and is heavily used during the malevolent Elarata Saturnine phase.

Remedial measures: It is better to recite maha mrutyunjaya mantra every day, minimum 18
times. No shanti, japa, recitation etc., are required.
Chant MahaMirtyujaya Mantra (Sani like This VeryMuch) .Doing the moksha mantra regularly is the
best remedy.
If one feels threatened about life or limb, an accident or grievous illness, one should take
recourse to Mrityunjaya Mantra. This is very effective remedy against great fear and untimely death.
One also escapes diseases that could cause death.
First of all make sure that water is dripping constantly over the Shivling in a Shiva Temple.
Then facing east chant the Rishi Markandey given Mrityunjaya Stotra every day. (Literally meaning
victorious over death)

The first Shlok of the Stotra is

CHANDRA SHEKHAR CHANDRA SHEKHAR CHANDRA SHEKHAR PAHI MAM

CHANDRA SHEKHAR CHANDRA SHEKHAR CHANDRA SHEKHAR RAKSH MAM

The Mrityunjaya Mantra:

 If you are under the clutches of severe Shani Dasha then chances are high that you will
encounter untimely accidents. Here the application of Mrityunjaya Mantra can play a very decisive
role as Shani remedy. It is important that you read and call of this Mantra at least once before
commencing your day.

125,000 times recitations of Mahamrityunjaya mantra should be done (daily 10 malas for 125 days).
