Shani Trayodashi, the sacred confluence of Trayodashi Tithi and Saturday, is a profoundly powerful occasion dedicated to Bhagavan Shani, the divine guardian of karma, justice, and righteous order. This rare alignment invites devotees to pause, reflect, and realign their lives with discipline, and dharma. It is a day to seek divine intervention with humility, to transform challenges into strength, and to surrender anxieties at the feet of the Bhagavan who governs time and consequence with unwavering fairness.

The heart of this observance is the sacred Tailabhishekam to Shani Dev. Devotees are invited to personally carry an oil filled kalasha and offer it reverentially for the Abhishekam, symbolizing the release of burdens and the cooling of life’s hardships. This deeply meaningful ritual is especially significant for those navigating Sade Sati, Dhaiya, or intense Saturn influences. With sincere devotion, such offerings are believed to ease obstacles, strengthen resilience, and invite stability in health, career, and spiritual progress.

We invite all devotees to join this powerful worship at the Shiva Vishnu Temple, participate wholeheartedly, and receive the just and protective grace of Bhagavan Shani. May His blessings grant clarity, endurance, and steady advancement on the path ahead.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Swati Mohan, renowned aerospace engineer and a key leader of NASA’s historic Mars 2020 Perseverance mission, for a special interactive session designed to inspire and engage young minds. This unique event offers children a rare opportunity to learn directly from one of the brilliant scientists who helped guide a spacecraft safely onto the surface of Mars. After helping land the Perseverance rover on Mars, Dr. Swati Mohan went on to lead multiple NASA missions, manage engineering teams at JPL, and now serves as Project Manager for a space navigation system that helps spacecraft find their way using stars.

This session is thoughtfully designed as an interactive dialogue with kids, encouraging curiosity, questions, and exploration. Dr. Mohan will share her personal journey, challenges, and discoveries, while offering young participants insight into careers in science, technology, engineering, and space exploration. Students will gain inspiration, confidence, and a deeper appreciation for how curiosity, dedication, and learning can truly reach beyond Earth.

Dr. Swati Mohan is an Indian-American aerospace engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and served as the Guidance and Controls Operations Lead for the Mars 2020 mission. She was responsible for ensuring the precise orientation and navigation of the spacecraft during its journey and famously announced “Touchdown confirmed” as the Perseverance rover successfully landed on Mars in February 2021. Her calm voice and technical clarity during those historic moments captured the attention of the world and inspired millions.

Dr. Mohan’s academic journey reflects excellence and perseverance. She earned her undergraduate degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Cornell University, followed by a Master’s degree and PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her research and professional work span advanced space navigation, autonomous systems, and mission-critical operations. Prior to Mars 2020, she also contributed to NASA missions including Cassini to Saturn and GRAIL, which mapped the Moon’s gravitational field.

This is more than a talk, it is an invitation for young minds to dream boldly and engage with the future of science.
