⚙️ Donating Iron on Saturday — Career and Karmic Debt
Shani's favourite metal — donation as the most precise payment for karmic debt
🔩 Why Iron Specifically?
Shani Dev rules iron — in Ayurveda iron (Ferrum) destroys Vata, and Shani is the Vata planet. In Vedic astrology Shani's metal is iron. Donating iron directly appeases Shani.
