Guruji, a lot of people are caught in the trap of ‘shaniti’ and ‘saade saati’ (Inauspicious Planetary effects). What message would you like to convey to them?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: This is true. Planets do affect us. However, for ‘Sadhaks’ (People on the Spiritual path), the effect is minimum. And for devotees, the effect is negligible. The planets will have very little effect. That is why, when you do sadhana, you sing ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ because Lord Shiva is the lord of all planets. When the master of the house is in your control, what will the servants do? You should chant ‘Om Namah Shivaya’.
