News India Live, Digital Desk: Worship of Shanidev has special significance in Hindu religion. There is a huge crowd of devotees in the temples on Saturday, but you must have noticed that people do not install the idol of Shani Dev at home. According to the scriptures, keeping the idol or picture of Shani Dev in the house is considered prohibited. If someone does this unknowingly, he may have to face financial, mental and physical troubles.

Mythological reason: That ‘terrible’ curse of the wife

According to mythology, Shanidev was given a curse by his wife. It is said that Shanidev was so engrossed in the devotion of Lord Krishna that he did not pay attention to his wife. Enraged, his wife cursed that whoever Shani Dev would see with his ‘naked eyes’ would be destroyed. This is why their vision ‘curved vision’ Or considered inauspicious. If there are idols in the house, their evil eye can fall on the family members, which causes unrest.

Astrological Perspective: Saturn’s Energy and Home Environment

According to astrology, Shani is a cruel and reclusive god. Their energy is very heavy and disciplinary.

Temple vs home: Temple is a public place where the consecration of idols is done in a specific manner, but home is a place where we live in worldly pleasures. The energy of Saturn leads to renunciation, which is not considered compatible with family life.

Vastu defects: Keeping the idol of Shani Dev in the house can cause Vaastu defects, which hampers the positive energy of the house.

If you want to worship Shanidev, how to do it at home?

The scriptures suggest other options for worshiping Shani Dev at home instead of an idol:

Meditation instead of picture: Meditate on Shanidev in your mind or chant his mantras.

Lighting a lamp: Lighting a mustard oil lamp at the main entrance of the house or under the Peepal tree is considered best.

Saturn device: If you want the blessings of Shani, then you can install ‘Shani Yantra’ in place of the idol in the house, but its worship should also be done with utmost care.

Worship of Hanuman ji: By worshiping Lord Hanuman at home, Shanidev automatically becomes happy and his ill effects are reduced.

Don’t make this mistake even by mistake

If you are visiting Shanidev in the temple, never look directly into his eyes. One should always have darshan of his feet. Do not keep any picture of him in the house in which his gaze is towards the front.
