THE LORD SHANEESWARA THAT I LEARNT ABOUT
http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070801012813AAopcuO


Life is a wonderful mixture of ups and downs.When everything is going well for us as we like,then we attribute it all to our hard work,brilliance etc and very little to the supernatural powers that helped us in the process.But when things start going wrong,the unexpected happens & we begin to suffer from disappointment, frustration at our failure to get things going our way,then we do NOT ascribe it to our skewed vision of things or failure to adjust ourselves to the changing circumstances despite our self proclaimed brilliance,business acumen & hard work,but we attribute it all to one MOST MISUNDERSTOOD planet called SATURN or SHANEESWARA or simply SHANI.We curse him initially beyond words & when things become unbearable,we kneel down before him & ask for forgivance & do all kinds of sacrifices/rituals/ charities to appease him & seek HIS favour.It is NOT our goodness that makes us to turn to HIS breast/FEET for succour,but it is our mounting sufferings, HELPLESSNESS & increasing restlessness that force us to bow down to this MOST POWERFUL TASKMASTER and GREAT TEACHER.


He governs the time sense of man.He decides when a work is to begin & when it should end.He teaches us patience through constant delays in everything that we expect to happen on time.He teaches us Acceptance of those delays by developing patience in us..That which cannot be avoided should be accepted & enjoyed.


Saturn shows us what our limitations are & encourages us to update ourselves & be in tune with the changing times.What we do NOT like is only our limitation.He gives small doses of things we do NOT like & makes us accept it.Then he gives bigger doses of things we dislike & when we learn to accept them,he is pleased with us.He destroys the walls that limit us in our thinking,behaviour, interpersonal realationships & every other aspect of life.He teaches us to accept things/persons we dislike & tapers down our short temper. 


He shows us how IT IS and how it is BECOMING.HE disciplines us to experience life.He provides boundaries and checks everywhere so that we do not overshoot and complicate our lives.He protects us until we understand him.When a proper understanding is developed,HE unfolds and wider boundaries are set for EXPANSION but with strict saturnine discipline


He subjugates our pride & decimates our arrogance.He makes you eat your own words & shows you that SILENCE is good for you.He teaches you to listen to your INNER VOICE silently and comply by it's dictates.And that inner voice is nothing but your conscience or the voice of the good man in you.When you start listening to that innver voice,you experience things going well for you.You start experiencing GOD & you turn spititual.Even an atheist is transformed into this GOD SURRENDERING STATE by this MOST POWERFUL planet.


He teaches you BRAHMAGNANA.HE grinds the MIND like sugarcane in a sugarcane juicer by crushing it,squeezing it & delivering the sweet juice of SPITITUALITY.Only LORD SHANI can do this.HE is hence called GNANA CHAKSHUVU.He makes you mind inwards like a bow & introspect-hence also called DHANURMANDALA SANSTHAYA.To understand HIM ,you need GNANA CHAKSHUVU & NOT the BHOWTIK INDRIYALU or simple mental faculties.


HE is also referred to AVIDYA MOOLA NASAYA which means he destroys avidya which is nothing but getting entrapped in this worldly illusions called MAYA.HE destroys this avidya and bestows VIDYA bydetaching you from these worldy bonds & bondages and illusions of MAYA.
HE is VRITTI KARAKA and decides your profession/career. Guru or Jupiter determines your performance in that career but NOT without favourable saturnine help.HE brings out the hidden talents in you,encourages you to refine them & makes you a polished & talented performer-be it in spirituality where he makes you a SADHAK/YOGI.


By creating obstacles & troubles,HE polishes your fighting & survival qualities and makes you a MAHAAN or great personality. If you do not choose to fight but instead seek recourse to escapist tendencies like alcoholism,drugs etc,then HE finishes you.HIS intention is to make you a better person from whatever you are in tune with the laws of Nature & God.So he forces you to turn towards GOD & spirituality by making you helpless & seeking HIS help.When HE is pleased with your devotion,he graces & protects you in every way.The only way to survive sade satti or ashtama sani or ardhashtama sani is to TURN INWARDS,INTROSPECT, ACCEPT,CHANGE & TURN TOWARDS GOD/HIM.This is the reason why most people who were very easy going with loose morals & virtues are seen to change completely after their saturnine periods.


HE dries up your finances & makes money very difficult to earn.He teaches you FISCAL DISCIPLINE & tells you how to earn by rightful ways,spend within your means & SAVE for rainy days ahead.He turns a spend thrift to a tight fisted person.This is especially seen when HE transits our birth Mercury.When he transits our birth SUN,he makes us more disciplined in our HEALTH MATTERS.When he transits our birth MOON,he completely cleanses us.When he transits our birth MARS,he redresses the NEGATIVE POWER in us & slows us down.


Saturn transits should be understood as an opportunity for inner growth while in the outer world it presents problems.Every problem has a gift behind which only the humble would learn & gain.It is observed that when saturn is transiting our birth moon or birth lagna,then we get into the path of SPIRITUALITY. SATURN works very hard by presenting all unpleasant things,
disappointments, frustrations, failures, losses,obstacles etc all increasing in quantum by every passing day during those


2 1/2 0r 7 1/2 years.After that period is over,we become like tumble washed & dried linen.HE straightens out our personality. 
Man is bound by his KARMA or is a KARMA BADDHUDU.There is no escape from this karmic retribution for anyone.And this karmic retribution comes to man in the form of LORD SHANI who is only a KARMA BODHAKA or KARMIC POLICEMAN.He just implements the KARMIC LAWS set by Guru or Jupiter who is the actual legislator.Why do we blame him for disobeying the karmic laws & inviting punishment by HIM.It is akin to driving in the opposite direction in a one way road & then getting caught by the traffic policeman & getting challaned/fined. We do NOT think we did the wrong thing but blame the poor traffic cop for catching us & fining us.So let us learn NOT to do the karmic wrongs instead of cursing LORD SHANI for upholding the karmic laws & punishing us for our misdeeds.HE teaches us OBEYANCE of the karmic laws.He is thus a KARMA GRAHA.He turns a BHOGI into a YOGI.
When we understand that LORD SHANI is param dayalu (very kind hearted) & HE is only transforming us into a SPIRITUAL BEING in keeping with the LAWS OF NATURE (which we very often tend to challenge,hoodwink and disobey) then we begin to love HIM,adore HIM,glorify HIM and stop fearing HIM.He instills fear in us through fear of failures,unexpected happenings,loss of near ones & welath etc ONLY to veer us around towards HIM & GOD above and then gives us aplenty after being pleased with us.So let us all NOT fear HIM,understand his true nature & his benevolent intentions towards us & learn to comply by HIS dictates & WILL and develop ACCEPTANCE OF HIS WILL.Then watch the difference !.Life will truly turn more enjoyable in the REAL KARMIC SENSE
