HOW TO TACKLE SATURN's (Shani) UNFAVOURABLE GOCHARA? (A reality study)..... There is a wrong notion that; Saturn or for that matter planetary positioning in natal chart is the cause of our sorrow and suffering. In fact the stars and planets are merely pointers and they themselves are not the causes of our agony.

Navagraha worship or aaradhana is prevalent in Hindu philosophy since time immemorial followed by our elders and described in various sacred texts. Nearest example of Navagraha worship, one can find in Sri Sathyanarayana Swamy vratham one of the most popular, auspicious and highly meritorious austerities performed in Hindu religion, as it becomes a part of the ritual without which the Vratham does not begin.  In Hindu Astrology we have nine Grahas viz. Ravi (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Kuja (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Sukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu and Kethu as they form the pivot around which the concept of astrology rotates.   Out of these nine planets known as Navagrahas, Rahu and Kethu are referred to as shadow planets (Chaaya Grahas).
