Shravan Shivratri is a powerful day to remedy Saturn and Rahu in our birth chart.
Saturn (Shani) and Rahu are planetary forces associated with the element of air (Vayu Tattva). When afflicted, they can bring disorder, chaos, and restlessness. As the moon’s transit through the 27 nakshatras influences our emotional state, Shani and Rahu impact our life force energy (prana).
Lord Shiva, the deity representing the universal life force, holds complete control over Vayu Tattva and the Vata Dosha. His divine influence can harmonize the negative impact of Shani and Rahu. Hence Shivratri is a powerful day to invoke the blessings of Lord Shiva to remedy Saturn and Rahu in our birth chart.
Shravan Shivratri Rituals
- Chant or listen to the Sri Rudram, an ancient Vedic hymn dedicated to Lord Shiva.
