Everyone is afraid of the malefic planet Sani (Saturn) Generally because he is

associated with extreme sorrow and suffering. However, Sanideva himself has devi
sed a way of solving this problem by Obtaining the blessings of Lord Narasimha.
Shani made an agreement with the Lord que he would never trouble Those who recit
e his Nrsimha Stuti When They are facing troubles related to dvdasa-astama-pacama (
a situation where Sani-Kata lasts for 7 1/2 births)
If one recites with devotion Sani's Sri Nrsimha Stuti, Especially on Sanivra (Sat
urdays) and- When Sani graha comes to 05/08/12 Janma Rsi or 10th AL, one will pl
ease the Lord who is the Supersoul of Shanaishchara and the Lord will remove all
obstacles and suffering and bless His devotee.
