Shani: The Divine Ruler Of Labour And Hard Work

Those who work hard to support themselves and their families are always blessed by Lord Shani. It is believed that Shani resides with the poor, helpless, workers, labourers, and diligent individuals. Labourers toil with their sweat and blood, and when they sweat, their complexion darkens—symbolic of Shani’s own dark hue. This deep connection between Shani and labourers is why they hold a special place in his heart. Always respect hardworking individuals, because if you trouble them knowingly or unknowingly, no one can save you from Shani’s wrath.

Troubling Labourers Invites Shani's Wrath

• Those who trouble the poor, labourers, or the helpless in any way—by withholding wages or forcing overtime—suffer Shani's wrath in various forms.
• Especially during Shani’s Sade Sati or Dhaiyya periods, he takes account of such actions and inflicts double the suffering.
• Shani becomes displeased with those who show no compassion toward labourers and punishes them physically, mentally, and financially.
