Sastha Pooja
Seek the divine protection of Lord Ayyappa for courage, wisdom, and relief from Saturn's influence.
About Sastha Pooja
Lord Sastha, also known as Dharma Sastha or Ayyappa, is the powerful union of Lord Shiva (Hara) and Lord Vishnu (Hari) in his Mohini form. He is the guardian of Dharma (righteousness) and the epitome of wisdom and courage.
The Sastha Pooja is a sacred ritual performed to invoke his blessings. It typically involves the 'Neerajana' offering (lighting lamps with sesame seeds and coconut) and chanting the Sastha Ashtottaram. Saturdays are considered highly auspicious for this pooja, as Lord Sastha is the presiding deity who controls the planet Saturn (Shani).
Significance
Lord Sastha is known as "Kaliyuga Varadan" – the one who bestows boons in the current age. He is uniquely capable of mitigating the malefic effects of Shani (Saturn), such as during the Sade Sati (7.5 years Saturn cycle), Ashtama Shani, or Kandaka Shani.
Devotees perform this pooja not only for planetary relief but also for protection from enemies, success in litigation, and strength of mind. The "Neerajanam" offering is a specific remedy to burn away karma and obstacles.
