Shani Written Update – March 17, 2017

Shani’s Sade-Sati – bhakti, gyaan, kriya, and karma give rise to consciousness. Shani tries to teach us how to stop our consciousness from being destroyed.

The episode starts with Shani warning Chandra to stop his evil tricks, but Chandra dares him to fight. Shani attacks him while Yami tries to stop the coming tsunami. She is unable to hold it back entirely and falls into the water, calling out for Shani. Shani turns and is shocked, thinking she drowned, and Chandra accuses him of killing his own sister, leaving Sanghya daughterless, because of his vakra drishti and insults him. When Shani looks closely, he is relieved to see that Yami actually safely landed on the rocks below. She looks up and smiles at him, saying his vakra drishti protected her, and that the being whose drishti can get rid of death can only be auspicious. She teleports to the top and Shani hugs her. Then she determinedly says that it is time to prove that Shani’s protective drishti can also destroy evil, glaring at Chandra. Shani nods and is about to attack Chandra, who falls to the ground and pleads for forgiveness. Shani tells him it’s his last warning to come to the right path, or Shani will have to bring him on the right path. Chandra says he will do so.

Meanwhile, Rahu uses powers to destroy Shani’s protective shield around Vishwakarma, Indra, Brihaspati, and Shukracharya. Shani senses that someone has destroyed his protective shield. Yami asks what’s wrong, and Shani says everyone’s in trouble and he must leave. Chandra tells Shani to let him prove himself in that he will safely take Yami to Surya Lok, but Yami retaliates that she knows the path to her home and will go herself. She tells Shani to proceed as he is needed, and he climbs aboard Kakol and goes.

Back at the palace, Indra and Shukracharya come one by one to attack Rahu but Rahu binds them with his powers. Shani reaches and uses his own weapon to push Rahu back, and tells him that this is what bad karma does – brings back bad consequences. Rahu stands and tries to attack again, but Shukracharya interrupts and asks him for how long he will be rebellious, and says to not to try to be what he isn’t. He tells Rahu to return to him but Rahu says he hasn’t made so much effort just to return to him. Indra then tells Rahu that once he becomes Devraj, he will pronounce Rahu as a deva. Vishwakarma tells Shani he will have to return everyone’s consciousness back (which Rahu had taken). Shani says there are four paths to yoga, which are bhakti, gyan, kriya, and karma. He says the greatest example of bhakti here is Shukracharya, a permanent devotee of Shree Shiv Ji, then there’s Guru Brihaspati, the one with the greatest knowledge, then goes to Vishwakarma and says he’s the biggest kriyavan. Vishwakarma places a hand on Shani’s shoulder and says that he, too, is the karmafaldata. Shani says that their four yogas will bring back consciousness.

Surya arrives and says that only light can bring that. Behind him follows Sanghya. Surya says he is the lord of light and that he has promised not to rise today. Yami arrives just then. Suddenly, it starts lightning/thundering and everyone looks up. Shani asks Yami where Chandra is, and she says he did not return. Surya says and he will not return, for he is Surya’s true servant and is following his orders to create chaos in the world. Meanwhile, Chandra is shown returning to his evil actions of causing tumult with the oceans, and devas are running away. Surya says this is just the beginning and then pralah, the end of the world, will come, and all because of Shani’s vakra drishti. He says the only path Shani has to get the sun to rise is to bow down and apologize, and to remove the vakra drishti from him and Yami. Sanghya smirks and everyone else stares with shock.

Next episode – Surya says there is nothing else in the world that can bring light. Shani is holding the Rudraksha, and says if his consciousness is pure, then the Rudraksha will become the sun and bring light in the world.

My opinion on today’s episode (optional, you can read it if you want): I really liked the beginning of today’s episode. The sweet sister-brother relationship between Yami and Shani finally blossomed, expressed through Yami’s complete understanding of Shani’s vakra drishti and that it protected her as she is a pure soul, and when they hugged each other. It’s also really shocking how Chandra went back to his evil acts, and makes me really wish Shani punished him right then and there. Like every episode of this show, today was really interesting and attention-grabbing, and is sure to make anyone want to watch the next day. Every character in this show does such excellent acting, it makes me think they are full-fledged experienced professionals, even the child actors. Shani’s acting is flawless and charming, and I am glad Yami is finally getting a role. I hope it doesn’t end soon and more of her parts can be shown as well. Being the only female character besides for Sanghya, she shouldn’t be sidelined. Thanks for reading!
