  2. Hari Om
    Does the fast have to be continues every Saturday for 7 Saturdays or there can be break ? example, fast for 3 Saturdays, then miss one Saturday, fast for another two Saturday and then break etc until 7 Saturdays are completed ?

    1. Dear Kanika
      There is no restriction for milk or curd in any sort of poojas as it comes out the Gomatha only which is considered most sacred for Hindus.
      Om Namah Shivaya

  3. Started Shani Fast on 13th May (Krishan Paksha) for my married daughter (Shani Dasha) and son-in-law (Rahu Dasha). Was advised to do Shani fast for both with prayers to give benefits to both of them. Daily one Mala or Rahu mantra and one Mala of Shani mantra. Please reply soon.
    What would be best day for UDYAPAN in February/March 2018.

    1. Dear Om Prakash
      These fastings if done by them they get the benefits. If you do on behalf of on them may it not reach them.
      For Shani impact you can do Til Abhishekam in any Shani temple on behalf on them but fasting is not that fruitful. They need to do fasting.
      Om Namah Shivaya

  5. I am fasting for saturdays but I am not able to wake early morning is that mean my vrat will not be fruitfull. please reply and guide me because I am under going shani mahadasha.

    1. Dear Renu Chopra
      No not exactly like that. But doing any pooja in the early morning hours gives good result. It reaches Lords.
      To pacify Saturn you need to worship Lord Vishnu / Venkateshwara and Hanuman also. To worship Lord Vishnu you must recite his manthra in the early morning hours before sun rise and that gives good result. Doing any pooja after sun rise may be delayed – result.
      So try to wake up early morning and make your prayers. If not then do it as per your possibility but result may delays.
      Om Namah Shivaya
