BEST WISHES FOR SHANI JAYANTI

 BEST WISHES FOR SHANI JAYANTI 

ॐ सांई राम

Shani Jayanti is considered to be the day on which Lord Shani was born or appeared on earth. This day is also known as Shanishchara Jayanti or Sani Jayanthi.

Lord Shani is one of the nine planets (Navagrahas) of Indian astrology. Navagrahas are the nine celestial deities in Hinduism. Lord Shani is also called as 'Shaneeswaran', 'Sani dev', 'Sanischara bhagwan' or 'Chaya Putra'. Lord Shani is the god of Shanivar (Saturday). Lord Shani is the son of Surya (Sun God) and his wife Chaya.

Shani Jayanti or Sani Jayanthi is observed on Amavasya (New moon day) in Vaishakh month or Vaisakha masam. This day is also observed as 'Shani Amavasya'.

Shani Jayanti 

Shani Jayanthi celebrates the birthday of Lord Shani or Sani. One amongthe Navagrahas, Shani (Saturn) is dreaded by those people who believein astrology as it is considered that Sani can create havoc in theirlife. In 2012, the date of Shani Jayanti is May 20.

Shani yagya or homa is conducted on this day by those people who havethe Saturn cycle or Sani cycle or Sade sathi in their horoscope. Manybelieve that Saturn cycle can be a reason for the bad patch in theirlife. Pacifying Sani or obtaining Shani shanti is the desired resultfrom such pujas.

In Hinduism, Lord Shani is the son of Surya (Sun God) and his wifeChaya. He is also the god worshipped on Saturday or Shanivar. 

It is believed that Hanuman devotees are not affected by the pranks ofShani and therefore many people worship Hanuman on Saturdays. 

Visiting Navagraha shrines, Sani temples or temples of Lord Ganesha onthe day is considered auspicious. Some people also observe a fast onthe day and the method followed is the same as that of Shanivar Vrat.

What to Do on Shani Jayanti

On this very day, people do out of the ordinary prayers at Navagraha Temples or in Shani Temples. Visit to temples of Lord Ganesha is also considered very fortunate. Shani Jayanti is celebrated with extreme dedication in many temples like Mandapalli Mandeshwara Swamy Temple, Sri Kalahasti Navagraha Temple, Wargal Shaneeshwara Temple in Medak district of Andhra Pradesh and all Navagraha Temples in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. In Shani Shingnapur Shaneshwara Mandir, Sani Jayanthi is the most important festival for the duration of which a lot of rituals and rites are performed. You can also get a pooja done at this temple through Atoot.com 

Additionally, Several devotees perform fast (upvaas) on the day. The rules of this fast are parallel to Shanivar Vrat (Fast on Saturday). 'Shani Thailabhishekam' and 'Shani Shanti puja' are the most important ceremonies performed during 'Shani Jayanthi', Shani Amavasya, and Shani Trayodashi days.

As 'Shani Dosham' (awful effects from Lord Shanis situation in an individual's horoscope) is well thought-out as an imperative facet in ones future aspects, Shani Puja is a propitious ceremony for believers. Shani yagya or homa is carried out on this day by those people who have the Saturn cycle or Shani cycle, properly known as 'Sade sathi'. A lot of people consider that Saturn cycle can be a cause for the dreadful part of their life. Appeasing Shani or getting hold of 'Shani shanti' is the most wanted consequence from such rituals.

One can also repeat the holy text (mantras) of Shani on the promising occasion of Shani Jayanti. By doing so, Shanidev must be satisfied with the person and his family. Lord Shani will lessen his all sufferings. And if there is any influence of Shani or Shani ki Dhaiya or Sadhesati on the person and his family then, there will be some release from its bad effect.

The Shani Mantra to please Lord Shani on the day of Shani Jayanti is given below:

Om shreem shanidevaya namo namaha!

Om shreem shanidevaya shanty Bhavaha!

Om shreem shanidevaya Subham Phalaha!

Om shreem shanidevayapralaha prapti phalaha

UNIQUE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD

UNIQUE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD

[1]

AUSTRALIA
COUNTRY AS WELL CONTINENT

Australia is the only country in the world which covers a whole continent, every other continent has more than one country. It is the only country that is also a continent, and the only continent that is also a country. It is the sixth largest country in the world with a total area of 7,686,850 sq km (2,967,909 sq. mi), making it slightly smaller than the contiguous 48 states of the United States and 31.5 times larger than the United Kingdom. The photo is of olgas in Northern Territory of Australia

CANADA
COUNTRY OF LAKES

Canada has an extremely large number of lakes. More than 60 percent
of the world's lakes are in Canada, this is because of the deranged
drainage system that dominates the country. Canada has a huge
number of lakes (the exact total number is unknown). Part of the
reason is that Canada has at least 3 million lakes and in some regions,
there are as many as 30 lakes for every 100 sq km (39 sq mi).

MONGOLIA
LEAST DENSELY POPULATED COUNTRY

The country with the world's lowest population density is Mongolia with a population density of approximately 4,4 people per square mile (1,7 people/sq km). Mongolia's 2.5 million people occupy over 600,000 square miles of land (about 1,560,000 sq km). Most of that population is in urban areas, since development in Mongolia's vast deserts and grazing lands is hindered in part by drought and dust storms, leaving those parts of the country nearly as empty as they were in Genghis Khan's time.

LIBYA
COUNTRY OF DESERTS

Country with the highest percentage of desert is Libya (99%). The Libyan Desert, which covers most of Libya, is one of the most arid places on earth. In some places, decades may pass without rain, and even in the highlands rainfall seldom happens, once every 5–10 years. The picture is Libyan Desert.

SURINAME
COUNTRY OF JUNGLES

The estimated forest area is 14.8 million hectares (57 000 sq mi), which is 91% of the total land area (16.3 million hectares or 63 000 sq mi). Suriname's extensive forest cover and low population, about 400,000 concentrated in the capital and coastal cities, give it one of the lowest deforestation rates in the world. Only 5 percent of the population lives in the rainforest; this includes indigenous peoples and six tribes of Maroons-descendants of escaped slaves who recreated forest communities centuries ago and today retain their traditional West African style.

UKRAINEFASTEST DISAPPEARING NATION

28% of their population between now and 2050
(from 46.8 million now to 33.4 million in 2050).

NETHERLANDS
COUNTRY BELOW SEA LEVEL

More than half of the Netherlands sits below sea level, and if a massive storm were to break through the dunes, Rotterdam would be inundated in 24 hours.

Today, approximately 27 percent of the Netherlands is actually below sea level. This area is home to over 60 percent of the country's population of 15.8 million people. The Netherlands, which is approximately the size of the U.S. states Connecticut and Massachusetts combined, has an approximate average elevation of 11 meters (36 feet). The Netherlands ties Lemmefjord, Denmark for claim to the lowest point in Western Europe - Prince Alexander Polder lies at 23 feet (7 meters) below sea level.

TUVALU
THE LEAST VISITED COUNTRY

This is the fourth smallest country in the world. Tuvalu is located halfway between Australia and Hawaii, and it's predicted to be the first country to vanish beneath the waves when global warming pushes sea-levels high enough. It's also very difficult to get to - you're looking at sporadic, expensive flights from Fiji. Tuvalu has a grand total of 1,100 tourists a year.

INDONESIA
COUNTRY OF ISLANDS

INDIA

COUNTRY OF GEOGRAPHICAL DIVERSITIES

The uniqueness of Indian culture lies in its geographical diversities, natural wealth, vast population and people's attitude among other things. There are few countries, which may compare with extreme climatic conditions like India has. When people in the northern parts of country would be shivering with chilling cold one can find people in the south bare feet.
