Chaitra Navratri 2024: Follow These Rituals To Please Shani, Rahu And Ketu

The auspicious Chaitra Navratri began on April 9 and will conclude on April 17. During these nine days, nine avatars of Goddess Durga are worshipped. As per beliefs, during this time, Goddess Durga resides on Earth among her devotees, who take various measures to please her. If you are troubled by the effects of the position of Saturn along with Rahu and Ketu and want to please the Goddess, there are a few measures that you can take during this time. Ayodhya-based astrologer Pandit Kalki Ram shared that during Chaitra Navratri, devotees chant prayers and seek penance and remedies. If anybody is troubled by Rahu, Ketu and Saturn or Shani, he suggested a few special remedies to avoid the bad effects during the nine days of Navratri.

As per the expert, Rahu and Ketu can be pacified if devotees wake up during Brahma Muhurta, take a bath and then recite Hanuman Chalisa for nine days. By doing so, one can achieve stability.

To get rid of the effects of Rahu and Ketu, one can recite Shree Durga Saptashati for 9 days of Chaitra Navratri.

For the nine days of the festival, offer cloves to Lord Shiva to avoid the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu and Saturn. By doing so, it is believed that the devotee will get relief from financial problems.

The Pandit further recommends that during Navratri, if you buy a silver elephant and keep it at the place of worship in your house, then you can reduce the bad effects of Rahu. Devotees can also get rid of career-related problems by doing this.

As per Pandit Kalki Ram, devotees should offer help as per their capacity to the needy people. Doing so will please Shani Dev and one can seek his blessings.

Those whose horoscope is affected by Rahu and Ketu must worship Maa Brahmacharini and Maa Chandraghanta, two avatars of Goddess Durga, to get rid of the ill effects. The Pandit believes that if someone’s horoscope is affected due to Rahu, then Maa Brahmacharini should be worshipped, and for Ketu Maa Chandraghants should be worshipped.

Did you know that Shani Dev was a devotee of Lord Shiva? So if you are facing the effects of Shani, you should worship Lord Shiva during Chaitra Navratri. This will reduce the effects of Saturn.

Pandit Kalki Ram asks devotees to worship Lord Hanuman and Lord Shiva along with Maa Durga during Navratri to get rid of the effects of Rahu and Ketu.
