SHANI DEV KI KATHA

From the Vedic point of view, the physical Saturn is only a representation of Sani Dev / Shanaischaram (Saturn God). By the movement of the physical Saturn, we understand the intention of Saturn God (Sani) about us. Saturn God is the natural ruler of karma, and to understand our karma, we must first understand Sani. Sani is one of the three children of Sun and Chaya Devi. From the Vedic texts, we can learn a lot about Sani. Many times the power of his gaze have been mentioned in the classics. We learn that right after Sani was born, his gaze caused Sun’s charioteer to fall down and break his thigh; Sun’s horses to get blind; and Sun himself caught vitiligo for Sani’s powerful gaze on him. They were healed only when Sani moved his gaze away and looked at somewhere else. This clarifies the power which Sani has in his gaze.
