If any obstruction is caused due to Shani, all the other planets fail in giving good results to the person. Embodied in the planet Saturn, Shani is the lord of Saturday and the son of Surya and Chhaya. This planet is believed to be the custodian of justice and he has the authority to give the results of people’s good and bad deeds. Chanting Shani Chalisa can help the person fight against the challenges and miseries resulting from a horoscope afflicted by Shani.
