Q: Namaste, dear Mahesh. I trust you are well. I’ve heard and read a lot about you. I would like to know when my dark days will end. I am going through a very bad phase at the moment in my marriage, financiall­y and with family as I recently lost my sister, who was my best friend and confidant. | JD

A: I am glad you enjoy reading my column. You have been going through shani sade sati since January 2023. Your struggle started at the end of 2022 and your problems have been compounded thereafter.

Have patience and things will change, but the next few years will be difficult for you.

Your emotional problem will accelerate. During this time do not take any comment personally and think twice before you say anything. Do not reply in anger, and if you have to reply then do so after a few hours. I am sorry about your loss.

Saturday fasting will be helpful for you. Reading the Shree Hanuman Chalisa daily 1 or 7 or 11 or 21 or 51 or 100 times, will be very helpful to pass this time.

There are many benefits to reading the Hanuman Chalisa regularly. Some of them are as follows:

1. The worship of Lord Hanuman is a panacea for the harsh effects of the “unfavourab­le” presence of Lord Shani. In the Ramayana, Lord Hanuman is said to have rescued Shani from the clutches of Ravana. In gratitude, Shani promised Lord Hanuman that anyone who prayed to Him (Hanuman), especially on Saturdays, would be rescued from the “malefic” effects of Saturn, or at the very least, the effects would be softened.

2. Reading the Hanuman Chalisa the first thing in the morning will ensure that your day goes well. It will help you to feel relaxed and help you to forget about all your tensions for sometime during the day. Reading the Hanuman Chalisa can fill a person with a divine sense of joy. It infuses immense strength, and one becomes more bold, fearless and has full confidence eventually.

3. The Hanuman Chalisa can help improve the personalit­y and deal with any obstacles with ease. It removes negative energies from within you and also from your house if recited regularly and in an audible manner. 4. Reading the Hanuman Chalisa you will get blessings of wisdom. It also improves the power to concentrat­e. It can also be read before you go to bed (better to be vegetarian on that day, when you read at night ). This will ensure that you get a better sleep.

I humbly request that you read the Shree Hanuman Chalisa as much as you can. Lord Hanuman is known for making possible from the impossible. All those people who worship God get rid of all kinds of problems. The easiest and most popular way to get happiness and peace is by reading the Hanuman Chalisa. One should read it aloud so that its positive and divine vibration reaches its peak.

Astro advice:

¡ Whenever you find yourself in a crisis situation and need support instantly, light a ghee diya in front of a picture of Lord Hanuman or Ram-darbar, and read the Hanuman Chalisa 108 times faithfully. Then request Lord Hanuman to give you direction and help you. He never failed to deliver his blessings to his devotees.

Q: I would like to know about my future and my finances. Thank you kindly. | SS

A: In your chart, the planets Jupiter and Saturn are situated together in the sign Sagittariu­s. This is a good combinatio­n when it is present in the birth chart of an individual.

Your future is very bright and you have a long life ahead. Finances are good and it will continue to improve. But your planet moon is very weak, therefore you are not getting the moon’s energy fully as per Vedic astrology.

Do the following to enhance the planet moon so that your savings will increase. To empower the moon try to drink lots of water daily and chant Om Namah Shivaya 8 minutes daily. In addition to it, maintain a vegetarian fast every Monday. The period 2026 to 2029 are good years for you in respect of your profession­al life and you will get the desired success.
