Kantaka Sani Story

There is an ancient Indian story called Ramayana. It tells us about a powerful king called Ravana, who had control over all nine planets. He used to step on the backs of the planets every day to climb his throne, which was a very humiliating act towards them. One day, a wise sage called Narada went to Ravana and asked a planet called Shani how they could bear such humiliation. Shani replied that they are helpless and have to endure this, but a time will come when his eyes will fall on Ravana, and everything will change. 

Later, Narada told Ravana that he had insulted all the nine planets by turning them face downwards and placing his foot on their backs. Ravana felt guilty and ordered his servants to turn the planets backward so that they would not get hurt. But as the planets turned, Shani's eyes fell on Ravana, and this hurt him a lot. A few months later, Ravana kidnapped Rama's wife Sita, and from then on his downfall began. Even Lord Shiva, who had given a lot of powers to Ravana, lost his mind after the sight of Shani. This story teaches us about the power of planets and how they affect our lives.
