शनि देव Mantras
The deity of justice and karma, lord of the planet Saturn.
Lord Shani — Shani Dev, the son of Surya and lord of the planet Saturn — is the great dispenser of justice who returns to each soul the fruit of its own karma. Feared for the hard lessons of Sade Sati and Dhaiya, he is in truth the most impartial of deities, rewarding the righteous and humbling the arrogant. He is propitiated on Saturdays, and Lord Hanuman is worshipped alongside him for protection from his severity. His prayers and the protective Hanuman mantras follow.

The Shani Beej mantra "Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah" and the simple "Om Shham Shanaischaraya Namah" are chanted on Saturdays. The Dashrath Krit Shani Stotra (composed by King Dasharatha) is the classic prayer to soften Shani, and the Hanuman Chalisa is recited for protection from his harsh effects.
Worship on Saturdays: light a mustard/sesame-oil lamp under a Peepal tree, offer black sesame, black cloth and urad dal, recite the Dashrath Krit Shani Stotra and Hanuman Chalisa, and above all act with honesty, humility and service to the poor and labourers — Shani is pleased by righteous conduct, not bribery.
By tradition Shani promised Lord Hanuman that he would not trouble Hanuman's devotees. So those facing Sade Sati or a difficult Shani recite the Hanuman Chalisa and Bajrang Baan on Saturdays and Tuesdays to gain protection from Shani's severity.
