Shani Jayanti- a day to honor and appease Lord Shani (Saturn)

Shani Jayanti is observed on the no moon, i.e. Black Moon (amavasya) tithi (Vedic lunar calendar day) during the Jyestha month or Vaishakha month. Jyestha and Vaishakha are the months of the Vedic lunar calendar.

This year,   it is going to be celebrated on this Friday, May 22nd. 
Now, which exact month would depend on how the lunar months are considered. For e.g. Norther Indian traditions typically consider Purnima or full moon as the ending day of a month (Purnimant) whereas Southern Indian traditions consider Amavasya or no moon as the ending day of the month (Amavasyant). 

This is about the name of the day. In terms of the day itself, it still is the very same day that we celebrate Shani Jayanti, irrespective of if you follow northern or southern Indian traditions!

Lord Shani (Saturn) is supposed to have been born on the day of Shani Jayanti. He is the son of Lord Surya (Sun). 

Shani Jayanti is the day to pay homage and respect the unfailing divine justice of the Law of Karma. Lord Shani is believed to be the executor of this divine justice. He gives us the fruits of our karmas- the good and the bad ones!
It is one of the best days to pray to Lord Shani- to appease him and seek his blessings. It is also a great day to reflect on our life and our actions (and their repercussions).

People who conduct spiritual past life regressions and do karmic clearing, will find this an extremely potent day to conduct karmic clearing sessions. 

In general, Shani Jayanti is a great day to focus on the effects of our actions- to seek forgiveness for past misdeeds and to consciously choose that going forward, one will act in a manner that is in sync with the Laws of Dharma. We will choose to act in a way that will bring goodness and joy not just to one’s own self (and near & dear one) but also beneficial to the greater world around us.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
