Message to love Shani Dev
Dadu Maharaj always gives this message in his sermons –
“Do not be afraid of Shani Dev, love him.”
Every Saturday, a huge crowd of devotees gathers at Gajasin Shani Dham, Indore, from morning to night.
Abhishek of Shani Dev is done with the water of various holy ponds and rivers.
At 8:30 pm, a grand event of collective Shani Chalisa Paath, Bhajan-Kirtan and Aarti is organized.
After this, hundreds of devotees get guidance to get rid of the troubles of their life by getting free consultation from Dadu Maharaj.
Devotees offer sesame and oil to Shani Dev, offer lamps, coconut, tie a protective thread on the Ichchhapurti Stambh and offer Prasad when their wish is fulfilled.
