The Shani Dev Aarti: The mantra for Saturn’s grace

(Listen & Chant Along on AstroSure.ai’s YouTube video)

जय जय श्री शनिदेव भक्तन हितकारी।

सूर्य पुत्र प्रभु छाया महतारी॥

श्याम अंग वक्र-दृ‍ष्टि चतुर्भुजा धारी।

नी लाम्बर धार नाथ गज की असवारी॥

क्रीट मुकुट शीश राजित दिपत है लिलारी।

मुक्तन की माला गले शोभित बलिहारी॥

मोदक मिष्ठान पान चढ़त हैं सुपारी।

लोहा तिल तेल उड़द महिषी अति प्यारी॥

देव दनुज ऋषि मुनि सुमिरत नर नारी।

विश्वनाथ धरत ध्यान शरण हैं तुम्हारी॥

What’s the importance of  Shani Dev Aarti?

Saturn is not just a planet; it’s considered to be the cosmic teacher. Harsh? Sometimes. Necessary? Always. When Shani’s influence feels heavy, this aarti helps you in the following ways:

• Neutralises bad karma stuck in your chart

• Shields you against negativity (evil eye, jealousy, bad luck)

• Speed up justice. Saturn rewards patience, but this mantra nudges things along

Line-by-Line breakdown: What you’re actually chanting

जय जय श्री शनिदेव भक्तन हितकारी॥

Hail, hail, Lord Shani, the well-wisher of his devotees.

You are calling on Shani as a protector, not just a punisher. This line sets the tone for the rest of the mantra.

सूर्य पुत्र प्रभु छाया महतारी॥

Son of Surya (Sun), lord born of the great shadow (Chhaya)

This line reminds you that even shadows have power. Saturn’s lessons are tough but transformative.

श्याम अंग वक्र-दृ‍ष्टि चतुर्भुजा धारी॥

Dark-complexioned, with a sideways gaze, holding four weapons

It focuses on Shani’s side-glance (Vakra Drishti) is legendary; it is why delays happen. But his four arms mean he is also balancing karma.

नी लाम्बर धार नाथ गज की असवारी॥

Clad in blue, riding a crow (or sometimes an elephant)

The crow in this line symbolises hidden truths as Saturn exposes what’s buried.

क्रीट मुकुट शीश राजित दिपत है लिलारी॥

Crowned head shining brightly

This line says even in darkness, there is divine light.

मुक्तन की माला गले शोभित बलिहारी॥

Adorned with a garland of pearls

This line offers pearls of wisdom through suffering. Saturn tests aren’t random; they are refining you.

मोदक मिष्ठान पान चढ़त हैं सुपारी॥

Offered sweets, betel leaves, and offerings

Shani loves sesame oil, black clothes, iron, and urad dal; use these in rituals.

लोहा तिल तेल उड़द महिषी अति प्यारी॥

Iron, sesame oil, black gram, and buffalo are dear to him

These are Saturn’s favourite offerings; use them to soften his energy.

 देव दनुज ऋषि मुनि सुमिरत नर नारी॥

Gods, demons, sages, and all humans worship you

Even celestial beings respect Shani, so should you.

विश्वनाथ धरत ध्यान शरण हैं तुम्हारी॥

Lord of the universe, we meditate on you and surrender.

This is the final surrender. Trust the process.
