Shani Dev’s mythological story: In astrology, Shani Dev has been called the giver of results and the god of justice. It is said that if Shani Dev is pleased, then he becomes a king from a pauper.

It is believed that the person on whom Shani Dev’s retrograde vision falls faces many problems in his life. Not only humans, even gods have not been able to escape from the retrograde vision of Shani Dev. It is said that Shani Dev had cast retrograde glance on Lord Shiva, due to which Lord Shiva had to leave for Mount Kailash. Let us know this entire story in detail.
according to legend…
According to the legend, once Shani Dev reached Mount Kailash. He bowed to his Guru Lord Shiva. Then he requested Lord Shiva that tomorrow I will enter your zodiac sign. In such a situation, my retrograde gaze will be on you. Please get ready for this. Then, to escape from the retrograde vision of Shani Dev, Lord Shiva left Kailash and went to earth and took the form of an elephant.
After some time passed, Lord Shiva thought that the time for retrograde vision of Shani Dev has now passed. Shani Dev might have gone from his zodiac sign also. Now we should return to Kailash. After this Lord Shiva returned to Mount Kailash. He saw Shani Dev waiting for him on Mount Kailash. Lord Shiva was very pleased with this and said that Shani Dev, your vision had no effect on me.
Lord Shiva was pleased with Shani Dev.
Lord Shiva told Shani Dev that the time for even looking backward at him has passed. On this, Shani Dev bowed to Lord Shiva and said that no one can escape from my retrograde vision. It was the effect of my retrograde vision that you went from the form of a god to the form of an animal for a quarter of a second. My backward gaze fell on you. Hearing these words of Shani Dev, Lord Shiva became very happy and took his disciple to his heart.
