BEST TIME for Shani and Rahu Remedies

Saturn and Rahu are Vayu tattva planets (Air element) and they cause disorder, chaos and restlessness when afflicted. The Nakshatra component of the daily panchang also represents Vayu tattva and that is why as the moon’s transit through the 27 nakshatras have a direct impact on our state of mind and emotions.

Shani and Rahu have the power to bring unrest to our prana or life force energy and that is why Pranayama or breathwork techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya are very effective to combat them.

Lord Shiva – the deity of the universal life force has complete control of Vayu tattva and vata dosha and HE has the power harmonize the malefic effects of Shani and Rahu.
