What the Shani Ashtottara Shatanamavali is
The Shani Ashtottara Shatanamavali, the shani ashtottara or list of 108 names of Saturn, salutes Shani one name at a time, each set between Om and namah with the name in the dative case: Om Shanaishcharaya namah, 'Om, salutations to the one who moves slowly'. No author or Purana is named for it. The names run in the order of the 21-verse Shani Ashtottara Shatanama Stotram, so they come in small clusters that often share a sound: four ghana names (12-15), five names in n with three nila names among them (27-31), a run of names mostly in v (32-41). Some describe him: dark blue, clothed in blue, under a blue umbrella, riding the vulture, short in stature. Some give his family: son of Chhaya and of the Sun, consort of Jyeshtha. Many come as pairs of opposites, moving and steady, knowledge and ignorance, blamed and revered, beyond qualities and made of them.
A list drawn from twenty-one verses
According to tradition the namavali is the verse stotram taken apart for worship. The stotram's first verse reads shanaishcharaya shantaya sarvabhishtapradayine, sharanyaya varenyaya sarveshaya namo namah; put Om before each of its five words and namah after, and Names 1 to 5 of the list appear. Twenty-one verses give the 108 names in this way, and the readings of the list are checked against the verse lines, whose metre needs a fixed number of syllables. The stotram closes with one more verse, ittham shanaishcharayedam namnam ashtottaram shatam, which says that a mortal who recites these 108 names every day gains a long life. The list carries the same idea inside it: Name 51 calls Shani ayushyakarana, the cause of long life. Because each name stands alone, the namavali suits worship in which a name is spoken with every flower or grain offered. At Thirunallar in the Karaikal district, Shani stands in his own shrine on the north side of the entrance tower of the Shiva temple, and is honoured as its doorkeeper before devotees go in to Shiva. The temple's chief Shani festival, Sani Peyarchi, marks the day Saturn moves into a new sign of the zodiac, about once in two and a half years.

Questions
Have your chart read before you decide
Chanting is yours to do, and free. But which deity your situation calls for — and whether a mantra alone is the right response — depends on your chart. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
- Over 30 years in the Guru–Sishya Parampara, from the age of five
- He reads every chart himself — 60 minutes, one to one, never delegated
- Charts are read only between sunrise and sunset, following tradition
