The Hanuman chalisa by Tulasidas is an excellent remedy, especially for all Saturn-related troubles.

Shriguru charana saroja raja nija manu mukuru sudhari

Jaya hanumana gyana guna sagara
Jaya kapisa tihu loka ujagara
Rama duta atulita bala dhama
Anjaniputra pavanasuta nama
Mahabira bikrama bajarangi
Kumati nivara sumati ke sangi
Kanchana barana biraja subesa
Kanana kundala kunchita kesa
Hatha bajra au dhvaja birajai
Kandhe munja janeu sajai
Sankara suvana kesarinandana
Teja pratapa maha jaga bandana
Vidyavana guni ati chatura
Rama kaja karibe ko atura
Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiya
Rama lakhana sita mana basiya
Sukshma rupa dhari siyahin dikhava
Bikata rupa dhari lanka jarava
Bhima rupa dhari asura samhare
Ramachandra ke kaja sanvare
Laya sajivana lakhana jiyaye
Shriraghubira harashi ura laye
Raghupati kinhi bahuta badai
Tuma mama priya bharatahi sama bhai
Sahasa badana tumharo jasa gavain
Asa kahi shripati kantha lagavain
Sanakadika brahmadi munisa
Narada sarada sahita ahisa
Jama kubera digapala jaha te
Kabi kobida kahi sake kahan te
Tuma upakara sugrivahin kinha
Rama milaya raja pada dinha
Tumharo mantra bibhishana mana
Lankesvara bhae saba jaga jana
Juga sahastra jojana para bhanu
Lilyo tahi madhura phala janu
Prabhu mudrika meli mukha mahin
Jaladhi langhi gaye acharaja nahin
Durgama kaja jagata ke jete
Sugama anugraha tumhare tete
Rama duare tuma rakhavare
Hota na agya binu paisare
Saba sukha lahai tumhari sarana
Tuma rachchhaka kahu ko dara na
Apana teja samharo apai
Tino Loka hanka ten kanpai
Bhuta pisacha nikata nahin avai
Mahabira jaba nama sunavai
Nasai roga harai saba pira
Japata nirantara hanumata bira
Sankata ten hanumana chhudavai
Mana krama bachana dhyana jo lavai
Saba para rama tapasvi raja
Tina ke kaja sakala tuma saja
Aura manoratha jo koi lavai
Soi amita jivana phala pavai
Charon juga paratapa tumhara
Hai parasiddha jagata ujiyara
Sadhu santa ke tuma rakhavare
Asura nikandana rama dulare
Ashta siddhi nau nidhi ke data
Asa bara dina janaki mata
Rama rasayana tumhare pasa
Sada raho raghupati ke dasa
Tumhare bhajana rama ko pavai
Janama janama ke dukha bisaravai
Anta kala raghubara pura jai
Jahan janma haribhakta kahai
Aura devata chitta na dharai
Hanumata sei sarba sukha karai
Sankata katai mitai saba pira
Jo sumirai hanumata balabira
Jai jai jai hanumana gosain
Kripa karahu guru deva ki nain
Jo sata bara patha kara koi
Chhutahi bandi maha sukha hoi
Jo yaha padhai hanumana chalisa
Hoya siddhi sakhi gaurisa
Tulasidasa sada hari chera
Kijai natha hridaya manha dera
Doha
Pavanatanaya sankata harana mangala murati rupa
Rama lakhana sita sahita hridaya basahu sura bhupa

Translation:
Having cleansed the mirror of my mind with the dust of the lotus feet of Sri Gurudev, I now proceed to describe the untarnished glory of Sri Rama, the most excellent of the Raghus, which bestows the four fruits namely Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Realizing the inadequacy of my intellect, I meditate on you, Oh! Hanuman, the son of the wind God; grant me strength, intelligence and true knowledge, and remove all my afflictions and blemishes.
Victory to you O Hanuman, the ocean of wisdom and virtue. Victory to you O Hanuman, the lord of the monkeys, and the enlightened of the three worlds.
You are the messenger of Sri Rama, abode of immeasurable strength, and son of Anjana, are also known as Pavanasutra, son of the Wind God.
You are a great hero of exceptional valor with a body as strong as the thunderbolt. You are the dispeller of the wicked thoughts and a companion of good sense and wisdom.
You are of golden color and you wear fine clothes. You wear shining ear-rings and have beautiful curly hair.
You have the thunderbolt and flag in hand, whilst the sacred thread across your shoulder is made of sacred grass.
You are an incarnation of Lord Shiva and son of Kesari, and you are adored by the whole world on account of your radiance and courage.
You are learned, virtuous and extremely intelligent and you are always eager to do the work of Sri Rama.
You delight in listening to the glories of God and you have Rama, Lakshmana and Sita residing in your heart.
You assumed a subtle form when you revealed yourself to Sita; and by assuming an awesome form you burnt the City of Lanka.
Then you assumed a gigantic form and destroyed the demons, thereby accomplishing the mission of Sri Rama
When you brought the life giving medicinal herb (sanjivini) and revived Lakshmana, Sri Rama embraced you joyfully.
Sri Rama extolled you greatly and declared you to be as dear to him as his brother Bharata.
Taking you into his embrace, Sri Rama stated that even Seshnag, the thousand headed serpant, sings your glory.
The sages (Sanaka, Santana, Sanandana and Sanat Kumara, Brahma and the other Gods, Shiva, Narada and Seshnag) praise you all the time.
Yama, the god of death, Kubera, the god of wealth, Digpalas, the guardian deities, poets and scholars have all failed to describe your glory adequately.
You rendered an invaluable service to Sugriva by introducing him to Sri Rama and restoring him to the throne.
The whole world knows that Vibhisana heeded your advice and became Lord of Lanka.
You swallowed the sun from a distance of sixteen thousand miles, considering it to be a sweet fruit.
Carrying Sri Rama’s ring in your mouth, you crossed the ocean, there is no wonder in that (because of your previous deeds.)
The Hanuman chalisa by Tulasidas is an excellent remedy, especially for all Saturn-related troubles.

Lalita Trishati Stotra
Lalita Trishati Stotra
The famous Lalita Trishati stotra, which is a dialog between Lord Hayagreeva and Agastya in the brahmandapurana, holds one of the keys to the highly guarded Shodasakshari mantra of Devi, with which the coveted Shree Chakra is worshiped.
After Hayageeva gave the Lalita sahasranama stotra, Rishi Agastya falls on his feet and requests him to reveal to him the secret of Shree Chakra worship. Hayageeva keeps quite. At that time the Devi herself appears and tells Hayagreeva that as Agastya and his wife Lopamudra are great devotees of her and deserve the secrets of the Trishati stotra. Then Hayagreeva teaches the following Lalita Trishati stotra to Agastya.

After Hayageeva gave the Lalita sahasranama stotra, Rishi Agastya falls on his feet and requests him to reveal to him the secret of Shree Chakra worship. Hayageeva keeps quite. At that time the Devi herself appears and tells Hayagreeva that as Agastya and his wife Lopamudra are great devotees of her and deserve the secrets of the Trishati stotra.

(Sanskrit with English Translations)
Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati, also known as Venkataramana Murty, is regarded as the last incarnation of Lord Vishnu. It is hard to find a household in South India where the hymns in praise of the lord are not recited. The Tirumala Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh attracts millions of visitors every year. It is also one of the most well maintained and managed temples with online reservations for visits and Poojas. The offerings and donations by the devotees amount to several hundred crores of Rupees every year. A temple trust runs the "Venkateswara" hospitals, schools, colleges and a university with the money.
