In Hinduism, planets are considered to have a profound influence on life. Especially people take many measures to overcome the pain associated with Shani Dev – the most common are among them – wearing a horseshoe, ringing or offering oil at the main door. But are these remedies really effective? Famous saint Premanand Ji Maharaj gave this question in his discourse and removed the doubts of the people.
Why not wear a horseshoe ring?
Maharaj said that it is not appropriate to wear a horseshoe ring. He gave a deep argument behind this – which the horse himself is suffering and the placenta is stuck in his hooves, how can his placenta remove someone else’s sorrow? One who is unhappy himself cannot give happiness to others. Thus, Maharaj rejected the notion that the horseshoe liberates Shani dosha.
How to get real liberation from Saturn’s sufferings?
According to Premanand Maharaj, the suffering of the planets is away only by chanting the name of God. Wearing a ring, offering oil or external measures has no permanent effect. He said that unless the conduct and thoughts of man are pure, no planet will give peace.
He believes that only devotion and good deeds done with true heart can erase the obstacles of life. The planets are affected by our actions and conduct. When Hari resides in the mind and the person adopts the path of truth, compassion and service, then the planets also automatically become favorable.
No external measures, inner power is necessary
The Maharaj insisted and said – “If you are the true slave of Shri Krishna, then you do not need to offer oil to anyone, but offer yourself to the feet of Hari.”
This means that it is more important to build trust and power within yourself than to depend on external measures. Planet is the real solution of peace – saboty devotion, truth and humble conduct.
