The Navagrahas have special significance in Hinduism, and the most mysterious and influential planets are considered to be Shani Dev. Shanidev is considered to be the punishment of deeds, the symbol of justice and the planet giving a reward of tenacity. This belief is not only limited to outer life or planetary constellations, but according to scriptures and yogasastas, Shani Dev also has a special place and influence in the human body.
Shani Dev’s place in the body
According to Indian astrology and Tantra Shastra, every planet in the human body has a specific center (cycle or organ). Shanidev is mainly connected to the legs and lower part of the spinal cord (Muladhara Chakra) in the body. This place is considered a symbol of stability, tolerance, labor and the foundation of life.
Muladhara Chakra: This cycle is between the lowest part of the body, the anus and genitals. Saturn is located here. This cycle controls the stability, vitality and self -control within human beings.
Foot association: Saturn has also been linked to body feet, bones, joints, knees, skin and nervous. If Saturn is strong, then the person has more hard work, tolerance and self -control. Weak Saturn can cause diseases related to legs and bones.
Effect of Saturn on the body
At physical level:
Strong Saturn: Body balance, longevity, ability to work hard, strong bones.
Weak Saturn: problems like joint pain, arthritis, paralysis, skin diseases, legs breakdown.
At mental and emotional level:
Saturn also affects the brain. This makes the person serious, reflective and responsible.
Weak Saturn can cause depression, loneliness, fear, lack of confidence and disappointment.
Employee and spiritual terms:
The planet Saturn judges our former and current deeds.
The struggles, delays or failures that come in life are Saturn’s teaching – that a person should introspect and improve his actions.
Measures to balance Saturn
Yoga and Pranayama: Do asanas and pranayama awakening the Muladhara Chakra, such as Malasana, Shavasan, Bhastrika etc.
Donation and service: Donating black sesame, black urad, iron and slippers pleases Saturn.
Hanuman Puja: Worshiping Hanumanji is considered very fruitful to balance the influence of Saturn.
Chanting Mantra: By chanting “Om Shan Shanishrai Namah”, Shani Dev’s grace is attained.
Saturn is not just a planet, but is an indicator of stability, balance and karma in our life and body. Its effect operates the whole life through our feet, bones and muladhara cycles. If we adopt discipline, service and restraint in our life, then the influence of Shani Dev positively leads us to strength, success and enlightenment.
