Shani Jayanti 2025: In Hinduism, the new moon day of Jyeshtha month is very special, because on this day Lord Shani Dev appeared. This day is celebrated as Shani Jayanti. According to the Panchang, the new moon date of Jyeshtha month will start on 26th May at 12:11 pm. At the same time, this date will end on the next day i.e. on 27th May at 08:31 am. In such a situation, this year the festival of Shani Jayanti will be celebrated on 27th May. This day is considered very auspicious for worshiping Shani Dev and getting his blessings.

Mythological importance of Shani Jayanti
According to mythological belief, Lord Shani was born as the son of Sun God and his wife Chhaya. Shani Dev holds the position of judge among the nine planets. He moves slowly, but his effects are very deep and long-term. Shani Dev is considered to be the judge god who gives the fruits of deeds. They give results to a person according to his good and bad deeds. If a person is repeatedly going through obstacles, diseases, mental stress, failure in career, loss of money, or court-related problems in his life, then the inauspicious position of Saturn is considered to be the reason behind this. In such a situation, the day of Shani Jayanti is very suitable for getting rid of his defects and for stability and progress in life.
Main remedies of Shani Jayanti
1. Light a mustard oil lamp
On this day in the evening, light a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree or in a Shani temple and chant the mantra "Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah" 108 times. This removes the evil eye of Saturn and removes obstacles in work.
2. Donation of black sesame and urad
Shani Dev is very fond of black sesame, black urad, iron, and black clothes. Therefore, donate these things to a poor, old, or disabled person. This reduces Shani Dosh and destroys sins.
3. Recite Shani Chalisa and Shani Stotra
Reciting Shani Chalisa, Dashrathkrit Shani Stotra, or Hanuman Chalisa is considered to be especially fruitful. This remedy is very effective for giving mental peace as well as for the peace of Shani.
4. Anoint Shani Dev with oil
Anoint the idol of Shani with mustard oil and offer him blue flowers and black sesame seeds. This remedy ends the obstacles going on in life and brings success.
5. Feed birds and animals
Feed bread and sesame mixed food to crow, black dog, or cow. This pleases Shani Dev and gives relief from sorrows.
6. Offer blue clothes and blue flowers
Offering blue clothes and flowers to Shani Dev on this day brings progress in job, business, and career.

7. Follow truth and justice
Shani Dev is the god of deeds. Take a pledge on this day that you will always speak the truth, will not do bad to anyone, and will follow the path of justice. This resolution itself is the greatest worship of Shani.
