In Hindu scriptures, Tuesday is dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It is believed that devotees who worship Hanuman ji are protected from the malefic effects of Shani Dev (Saturn). Religious texts state that Shani Dev himself fears Hanuman ji. Therefore, worshipping Hanuman ji and performing certain remedies on Tuesdays can significantly reduce the effects of Shani dosha, Sade Sati, Dhaiyya, or Saturn’s harsh influence.These practices help remove obstacles, resolve stalled tasks, ward off troubles, and bring peace and prosperity into life. Tuesday evening is considered especially auspicious for these remedies. When performed with faith and devotion, Saturn’s negative impact diminishes and potential losses are avoided. Here are five effective remedies:1. Offer Vermilion and Jasmine Oil to Hanuman JiOn Tuesday evening, visit a nearby Hanuman temple and offer vermilion (sindoor) and jasmine oil to the idol. Vermilion is especially dear to Hanuman ji, while jasmine oil is believed to pacify Saturn. Chant “Om Ham Hanumate Namah” during the offering. This remedy helps calm Shani dosha, boosts confidence, removes negative energies, and reduces obstacles in life.2. Chant Shani MantrasAfter bathing on Tuesday evening, sit on a black mat and chant Shani mantras such as “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah” or “Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaishcharaya Namah” at least 108 times. Light a lamp and place an image of Hanuman ji or Shani Dev in front of you. This chanting helps neutralise Saturn’s harsh gaze, brings stability, reduces stress, and opens doors to progress.3. Light a Lamp Under a Peepal TreeIn the evening, light a lamp made of mustard oil mixed with black sesame seeds under a peepal tree. While lighting the lamp, pray to Shani Dev for relief from difficulties and chant “Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah”. This remedy is believed to reduce Saturn’s adverse effects, remove legal, health or accident-related obstacles, and unblock stalled growth. Both Hanuman ji and Shani Dev are said to be pleased by this act.4. Recite Shani Chalisa or Dasharatha Krit Shani StotraSit in a calm place on Tuesday evening, light a lamp and recite the Shani Chalisa or Dasharatha Krit Shani Stotra with devotion. This practice helps reduce fear, hardships and mental stress associated with Saturn. Regular recitation brings peace of mind, positivity and significantly lessens the impact of Sade Sati or Dhaiyya.5. Feed a Black Cow or a Black DogOn Tuesday evening, feed a black cow jaggery-mixed rotis or offer oil-smeared rotis to a black dog. Shani Dev is associated with black animals, and feeding them is considered highly auspicious. This remedy protects against accidents, crises and enemies, increases positive karma, and brings inner satisfaction.Disclaimer: The content provided here is based on beliefs and information only.
