thank you
This is only my thought on this. If the egg has had an chance of being fertilised then it is non veg. If the hen has been raised with the absence of rooster then it is veg. It has no chance of yielding chick so it is merely a fruit and eating has no harm.
This person Has no knowledge that SANI is VEG. or NON-VEG.
If it is your genuine food, it is ok. If you can avoid it is better.
Saturn is the planet of karma.Shani gives the result of any activity whether good or bad , right or wrong. Many people say different things about eggs -but in my view eggs are non vegetarian food. Its better to abstain from eating them
ps- I am no astrologer ,neither I know Vedas
I have no idea what this question means, but you seem to want people to answer it, and I'm trying to earn back points lost in a fake violation, so here you go...
Lord shani does not give one hoot as to whether or not you eat eggs. DO you honestly think that a god who controls the universe gives a doggone what you eat? You are trying to take care of your body, which can be considered a holy endeavour - keep it up. Holy or not, you'll feel better, and you'll find that it is easier to meditate and pray if you are centered both physically and emotionally.
uh.... sure.
who is Shani? What does this mean?
in your view egg is veg or non-veg
if it is veg u take it
if not u leave it
oh please don't move for non-vej......if u have faith in shani dev.
even if u can leave garlic and onion...then it will give u glow of worship.
Request you to eat vegetarian rather than eating flesh...
I m not sure but it would be advisable not to use egg during the period.
I'm not sure, but I think u should not take eggs before u start reciting Shani chalisa..........
Have a great day :-)
whatever you eat gets broken down in carbohydrates, fats, proteins....would your body be able to distinguish the source of these absorable molecules?...eat what u want...just do the mantras with heartfelt dedication...so don't feel guilty..god doesn't!..he's very forgiving..hay na?!
Shani (also spelled ?ani)(Sanskrit: ???) is one of the Navagraha which are the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology (that is, Vedic astrology), Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn. Shani is the Lord of Saturday; the word Shani also denotes the seventh day or Saturday in most Indian languages.
The origin of word Shani(???) comes from the following: Shanaye Kramati Sa: (???? ?????? ??) i.e. the one who moves slowly. Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around the Sun, thus it moves slowly enough compared to other planets, thus the Sanskrit name ???.
He is also known as Shanaiscarya {???????) Shani Bhagavan, Shaneesvara, Saneesvara, Shaneesvaran, Shani Deva.
Shani is actually a demi-god and is a son of Surya(the Hindu Sun God) and his wife Chhaya. It is said that when he opened his eyes as a baby for the very first time, the sun went into an eclipse, which clearly denotes the impact of Shani on astrological charts (horoscope).
He is depicted dark in colour, clothed in black ; holding a sword, arrows and two daggers and variously mounted on a black vulture or a raven. He is depicted at other times as ugly, old, lame and having long hair, teeth and nails. He presides over 'Shani-war' or Saturday .[1]
This may be the reason why Shri Shani-Maharaj is feared by most.Also it is said that Shaneeswara Swamy is a very great devotee of Lord Shiva. As mentioned in the "Navagraha Pidahara Sthothram" of "Brahmanda Purana", anybody who chants the following sthothra is relieved from all the ill-effects of Shaneeshwara Swamy placed in bad houses.
Suryaputhro Deerghadeho Vishaalaakshah Shivapriyah |
Mandachaarah Prasannathmaa peedam harathu me Shanih ||
????? ?????? ????? ???? ?????????? ??????????
???????? ???????????? ????? ???? ?? ???? ?
One who prays to Lord Vishnu is protected from Shani as he is said to be a great devotee of Vishnu. (It is interesting to note that Hanuman Himself was devoted to Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu).
It is also a wide spread belief that one who is an ardent devotee of Lord SriLakshmiNarasimha Swamy or Lord Venkateswara (Balaji) is also always protected by Sri Shani Maharaj.
Except for prayers to Lord Hanuman, Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu you can also chant mantras for Shani to relieve the ill effects of Shani.
Mantra for Shani : Aum praang preeng proung sah Shanaye namah Neelaanjan samaabhaasam raviputram yamaagrajam, Chaayaa-maartandam-sambhootam, Tam namaami Shanaishcharam.
You can chant this mantra for at least 7 times a day, because Shani is the 7th planet counted starting from the Sun. However, if you are troubled by Shani it would be better to chant the above mantra for 108 times a day.
[edit] In astrology
According to Vedic astrology, there are nine grahas (including Sun as one of them) and there are 12 rashis or moonsigns. The planet Shani or Saturn revolves around the Sun in about 30 years. That means, it passes through all the 12 constellations in 30 years. Thus Shani spends on an average about 30/12 = 2.5 years i.e. two and half years in each rashi or moonsign.
This movement of Shani through the moonsigns has a lot of importance in the hindu astrology and horoscope predictions. In hindu astrology, a person has a specific rashi/moonsign assigned to him which is determined from his birth date, time and location. The effect of Shani starts when it enters the penultimate rashi/moonsign and the effect stops when it leaves the next rashi/moonsign. Thus the total period of 2.5 years in the previous rashi + 2.5 years in own rashi + 2.5 years in the next rashi equaling 7.5 years total. This period of 7.5 years is called Saadesaati, and the person faces lot of difficulties during this period of his life. It is believed that Shri Shani-maharaj makes sure that the person who faces difficulties and goes through this period comes out as a very wise person indeed very well aware of most of the dire experiences of life. This period teaches that person many things important in his life. This is another way to make that person humble and be respectful rather than otherwise.
However, a favourably-placed Shani on the horoscope of a person stands for a strong career, healthy life and everything positive for that person. In fact, a well-placed Shani in one's horoscope is something every astrology-believing Hindu hopes for, as no other 'graha' can bestow what a favourable Shani can. Shani placed "unfavourably", on the other hand, denotes troubles in all of the above. Saneesvara is much feared by those Hindus who believe in astrology, as the "malefic" effects of his being unfavourably placed can be quite severe.
However, it is to be remembered that any pleasure or pain that befalls a person during Saneesvara's influence is not Saneesvara's arbitrary doing; rather, it is the result of the person's own karma, now being manifested in the "presence" of Saneesvara. Thus an "unfavourably-placed" Shani brings about the harsh results of one's bad karma, and vice-versa.
Shani is considered to be a stern teacher who represents patience, effort, endeavour, and endurance; he is not the one who gets carried away by platitudes like the careless and/or insincere chanting of mantras or the performance of rituals without sincerity and/or faith. He forces people to be disciplined, and to understand that one needs to be humble, focussed, patient, and hardworking to achieve success.
Since most Hindus fear Lord Shani, they prefer not to approach him alone directly; rather they turn to God, in His various Forms, for relief.
Shani is the lord of three nakshatras or lunar mansions: Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada.

In several parts of India, there are clusters of nine temples/shrines dedicated to the Navagrahas. One such cluster is located near the town Kumbakonam in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. Lord Shani's shrine in this cluster is located at Tirunallar. It is a Temple dedicated to Lord Darbaranyesvara, a Form of Lord Shiva, in which Lord Shani is located in a niche in a wall. At this Temple, Lord Shani is considered to be of benevolent nature.
Another important Shrine for Lord Shani is in Shingnapur, in Maharashtra, India. The deity self emerged from the earth in form of stone block and was found by shepherds. When they touched stone with a pointed rod the stone began bleeding. The shepherds were astounded and one night one shepherd got a dream that the deity was Lord Shani. To this day, due to fear of Shani, houses within a 1 km radius of the Shani temple do not have locks. No thefts happen in this place. Some who have tried to steal have received punishment (sickness, mental harassment) from Shani.
Another Shani temple is ShaniDham, at Fatehpur Beri, about 6KMs from Chhattarpur temple & 16kms from the Qutub Minar, at Mehrauli, South Delhi, India. It has got the tallest 21 feet high statue of Lord Shani in the world made of Astdhatu and a natural rock of Shani. Many devotees visit every Saturday to please Lord Shani. The main Poojan for Kaalsarp and Sadhesatti and Dhaiya are done here on Shani Amavasaya, the most auspicious day for pleasing Lord Shani.
There is a Shree Shaneeshwarar Temple at Nerul, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.
Another temple is at Kuchanoor, 20 km from Theni, near Madurai. The Lord is seen in swayambhu (self-appeared) form, the name of the town being derived from Kubjan, one of Shani's names (Kubjanoor).
There is a Shree Shani Mandir at Katemanevli, Kalyan (East), District Thane, Maharashtra, near Vitthalwadi ( Central Rly ) Railway Station. There is a Shree Shani Mandir on the Service Road at Khar East on Western Express Highway just about 500 mts before the Vakola Signal when travelling from Mumbai city to Suburbs.
[edit] Shani in Jainism
[edit] Shani and Lord Munisuvarat (20th jain tirthankar)
One who prays to Lord Munisuvarat is protected from Shani as he is great devotee of Lord Munisuvarat Swami (20th jain tirthankar) as per Jainism & really one can trace from ancient times people worshiping Munisuvarat Swami whose symbol is Tortoise to get protected from ill effects of not properly placed shani in ones horoscope.
Usually Munisuvarat Swamis idol is always found made up of Black colour. Millions of devotees across the world have witnessed miracles of Munisuvarat swami who appeared approx. 10,000 years ago as 20th jain tirthankar.
At Kankali Tila in Mathura a deity of Muni-Suvrat Swami whose insignia is tortoise, was discovered. One of the nude statues in Mohan-Jodaro (Indus Valley ) has the tortoise insignia, which indicates that it must be of Muni-Suvrat Swami. In Vedic history there are descriptions of a Muni in the Puran, connected to the tortoise, which throws light on Muni Suvrat. In the Rigved (23, 27, 32) a sage with tortoise insignia has been mentioned which is none other than Tirthankar Muni-Suvrat Swami. It connection with the tortoise the Puran (40, 27, 41) writes
