Shani Chalisa in Kannada · ಕನ್ನಡ
ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Traditional Hindi devotional hymn · Traditional (signed 'Ram') · Devotional era
The Shani Chalisa is a forty-verse Hindi hymn to Shanidev, the son of Surya and lord of the planet Saturn — the great dispenser of karmic justice. Recalling how Shani's gaze humbled even Rama, Ravana, Vikramaditya, Harishchandra and the Pandavas, yet rewarded the devoted, it is recited above all during Sade Sati and Shani Dasha to win the planet's grace and protection.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
The Chalisa recounts Shani's awesome power over the greatest of beings — sending Rama to exile, humbling Vikramaditya at the oil-press, even swallowing the Sun until Shesha and the gods intervened — yet it promises that whoever sings his story is never tormented by a cruel period, and that forty days' devotion carries the soul across the ocean of existence.

Shani Chalisa ಪಾರಾಯಣದ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಗಳು
The Shani Chalisa is the foremost remedy for the trials of Saturn — Sade Sati, Dhaiya and Shani Dasha — pacifying Lord Shani and turning his gaze benevolent.
Recited to remove obstacles, delays, debt, legal troubles, illness and the fear that Shani's hard lessons bring.
Recalls how Shani humbled even Rama, Ravana, Vikramaditya, Harishchandra, Nala and the Pandavas — and rewarded the devoted.
Brings discipline, patience, justice and ultimately prosperity to the sincere devotee.
Most powerful on Saturday (Shanivar); traditionally recited for forty consecutive days.
Often accompanied by offering mustard oil, lighting a lamp, and offering water to the peepal tree.
Shani Chalisa ಪಾರಾಯಣ ವಿಧಿ
On Saturday, after bathing, light a lamp of mustard or sesame oil before Lord Shani (often under a peepal tree or at a Shani temple). Offer black sesame, mustard oil and blue/black flowers, and recite the Chalisa with humility. The text recommends a forty-day observance. Offering water to the peepal and feeding the needy on Saturdays multiplies its grace.
