I noticed something. (This happened before the advent of Bhairava in my life, about 2 years back).
Whenever I happened to visit a Shani shrine, strange things happened. Not dramatic things — just small choices that somehow made life difficult for me.
I remember this one incident in Ahmedabad, there was a Shani temple close to where I was staying. For some reason I kept postponing the visit…. and finally I thought, Okay, let me just go.
It was afternoon. Ahmedabad heat was doing what the usual flare up!
I could have parked my car right next to the temple entrance. The space was available. There was absolutely no problem. But for some unknown reason, I decided, to park it a little bit away. I walked all the way in the heat to the temple and then while returning under the blazing sun I remember thinking:
“Am I a complete fool? Why did I walk unnecessarily in this weather?”
Since this happened numerous times, I wondered whether this was Shani’s influence.
It has taken a while to understand that YES it is Shani’s influence. And the most important – WHY!
Because discomfort is NOT punishment.
Certain energies simply pull us away from excess comfort because comfort has a peculiar habit — it slowly puts us to sleep. Discomfort wakes us up.
And as Sadhakas, that’s what we want – we want to WAKE Up! Not lull into sleep.

I have an option for Sadhana Conversations – if you would like to talk more about Shani’s influence, your Sade Sati or Shani Mahadasha situation. I can elaborate on how I align myself to this amazing graha and the understanding we must cultivate within ourselves to make the most use of this powerful influence towards spiritual intensity and growth.
