Path Shanishchar Dev Ko, Ki Hon Bhakt Taiyar ।
Karat Path Chalis Din, Ho Bhavasagar Paar ॥

In Hinduism, people often have multiple ways of performing a prayer to their favorite gods and deities. Regular recitation of a Chalisa is believed to be one of the easiest ways to praise a god and seek blessing from him.

Therefore, singing a Shani Chalisa is said to be an effective way to bring peace and prosperity to one’s life. But before we see the actual lyrics of the Shani Chalisa, let us first understand – What does a Chalisa mean and how is it effective?

Chalisa is a collection of 40 chaupais or verses that are written in an easy-to-understand language. It’s exactly opposite of the average Sanskrit shlokas, which are often very hard to pronounce let alone sing them.

In other words, Chalisas’ are made primarily for common people who are not able to recite or understand the meaning of sanskrit hymns.

How To Please Shani Dev With The Shani Chalisa?

In the Chalisa of Shani dev, he’s frequently referred to as a black beauty, a fruit of misfortune, and a destroyer of evil sight. He is the brother of Lord Yama (the god of death & justice), and the son of Lord Surya (the sun god).

That’s why people often get horrified by this particular Hindu god. Shani is said to be the god of restrictions and misfortunes, who brings distress, depression, sorrow into people’s lives. Thus, he’s not called “Lord” before his name.

However, regular recitation of the Shani Chalisa can boost confidence in one’s heart and help remove the miseries, and challenges faced due to the horoscope victimized by Shani Dev.
