What it means
Victory to Shani Dev.
Where it comes from
On Saturdays many people visit a Shani temple, offer oil and say this. Giving matters a great deal in Shani worship: black sesame, urad, mustard oil, or a meal for someone who needs it. Plenty of people will tell you that helping someone is the best Shani puja there is.
How to chant it
On Saturday, with a lamp lit. Better still if you can give something that day.
When: Saturday evenings.
