2008 June 3 Celebrated as Shani Jayanthi


Shani Jayanthi celebrated on June 3.
Shani Jayanthi celebrates the birthday of Lord Shani or Sani (Saturn) .
Shani is dreaded by those people who believe in astrology as it is considered that Sani can create havoc in their life.
Shani yagya or homa is conducted on this day by those people who have the Saturn cycle or Sani cycle or Sade sathi in their horoscope. Many believe that Saturn cycle can be a reason for the bad patch in their life. Pacifying Sani or obtaining Shani shanti is the desired result from such pujas.
In Hinduism, Lord Shani is the son of Surya (Sun God) and his wife Chaya. He is also the god worshipped on Saturday or Shanivar.
