what is meant by shani dham?

Answer 1

New Delhi, the national capital of India is also known for Shani Dham Temple, with the highest Statue of Lord Shani in the world. This temple which is about 8-9 Km away from Mehrauli is situated at Asola, Fatehpur Beri, was equipped with the natural Rock Idol of Lord Shani, as a chief deity. Apart from this, the other man-made idols are also established since long. These Idols were being worshipped, adored for long- long times but in last few years i.e. on 31 May 2003 when the largest radiant Shani Idol was unveiled by Anant Shree Vibhushit Jagat Guru Shankracharya Swami Madhavasharam Ji Maharaj, Since then it has become the center of attraction for the devotees of Lord Shani.

Before unveiling of this radiant Idol of Lord Shani, Shree Shani Dham Peethadeshwar Sant Shiromani Shani Charanuragi 'Datti' Madan Maharaj Rajasthani ji had performed enchanting of One Hundred Crores and Thirty Two Lakhs (in numbers) Shani Mantras on this sacred grove. With a result, the whole environment of the Shani Dham Premises has become so alive that most of the problems of the devotees of Lord Shani are automatically solved, when they happen to reach this temple. Whatever troubles are left behind, they are also solved by their worshiping here and by offering oil (Telabhishek) to Lord Shani.

'Datti', a name given by thousands of his disciples and children with love. In his words," For the welfare of the common man, I had have pleased Lord Shani through his pungent accomplishment and pungent devotion. By the grace of Lord Shani, my only deity, I have been succeeded in establishing Shani Idols at Pali, Rajasthan and at Asola Fatehpur Beri, Delhi. Through the devotion and worship performed here, all the hardest of troubles and problems caused due to the adversity of Shani are extinguished within no time".--
