Why Does Lord Shani Love Sesame Oil Abhishekam? Story & Astrology
Welcome to TVS Astro - Tirupati
Many people ask me - "Why do we offer sesame oil to Lord Shani every Saturday?"
There is a beautiful story and deep science behind it. Let's understand in simple words.
1. The Hanuman Story - The Real Reason
Once, Ravana captured Shani Dev and kept him under his feet. Shani was suffering in immense pain.
When Hanuman came to Lanka during Lanka Dahanam, he freed Shani. But by then, Shani's legs and body were badly injured and he was suffering from severe pain.
Then Hanuman gently massaged Shani's body with Sesame Oil and served him with devotion. The oil cooled down his pain and gave him great relief.
"Whoever offers me Sesame Oil Abhishekam, I will never trouble them. I will reduce their Elinati Shani and Ashtama Shani Doshas!"
From that day, Shani loves Sesame Oil the most!
2. The Astrological Reason
According to Shastra:
- Shani = Dark Planet
- Sesame Seeds = Black in colour
- Sesame Oil = Cooling Nature
Sesame oil cools down the heat and anger of Shani. That is why lighting a lamp with sesame oil on Saturday, or doing abhishekam with it, calms Shani Dev.
3. What To Do On Saturday?
- ✅ Do Abhishekam with Sesame Oil at Shani Temple
- ✅ Light a lamp with Sesame Oil
- ✅ Donate Black Sesame Seeds
- ✅ Feed food to a Crow - Because Crow is Shani's Vahana!
- ✅ Chant "Om Sham Shanicharaya Namaha" 108 times
4. What Will You Get?
If you do this with devotion, Shani will reduce your Elinati Shani problems, job problems, money problems, and health problems. He will give you justice, not punishment.
