Śani Sāḍhesātī

A roughly 7.5-year period of Saturn's transit through the signs before, over, and after a person's natal Moon — one of several named Saturn afflictions (alongside Marak Shani and malefic placements) for which diligent worship is especially recommended when Mahashivratri falls on a Saturday.

What is the three-day Anushthan running from Mahashivratri to Somvati Amavasya, and why does a Shivratri falling on a Saturday matter?
Any discipline started on Mahashivratri — mantra chanting, Sahasranama, Daridrya Dahana Stotram, or the Saptakshari Parvati Mantra — should continue for at least 3 days, culminating on Somvati Amavasya; a Shivratri falling on a Saturday holds immense significance for those with Saturn afflictions like Sade Sati or Marak Shani.
When is the Shanaishchara Maha Mala Mantra anushthana specifically recommended, and what relief does it bring?
Beyond daily recitation, the four key ascendants — or anyone facing severe Saturn afflictions such as false lawsuits, imprisonment, bone or joint disease, or head injury, with an active Antardasha, Sukshmadasha, Shani Sade Sati, or Shani Dhaiya of Saturn — should take refuge in him through this Mala Mantra anushthana, which brings swift relief even from karma-rooted afflictions, occult disturbances (Abhichara), demonic affliction, or severe persecution by enemies.
