Shri Sani Bagavan is a powerful graham. There is no one who can give like Sani. He can make a beggar to king and king to beggar. He is Dharma devan for this Kali yuga. He gives good and bad based on one’s karma.
If Sani is not in good position in your birth chart, if Sani is not in good position as per kocharam (transit), if sani is not good for you as per Dasa or bukthi, then Sani pariharam helps mankind to overcome difficulties.
Visiting Sani temples, wearing the gem stones, doing pooja, helping poor and handicapped are some of the easy pariharams.
