Hi.. Recently I visited some pandit and he suggested me to chant Durga Sahasra Naamarchanalu. His writing is actually not clear. While I tried checking online, all I found were Sahasra Namaalu. Could you please tell me if "NAAMARCHANALU" and "NAAMAALU" are the same or not ? Thanks and Regards.

चण्डालिनि caṇḍālini is correct. I am sorry for the error.

Is it pronounced chaandalini or just chandalini without a deerka uchharana? Please clarify

You can derive bijas based on श śa. However, when we derive atma bija, it should be a proper bija and not just an alphabet with a bindu. Therefore, it is ideal to have श śa as your atma bija. By prefixing your atma bija, you can use any mantra.

In Mahashodashi mantra, the second OM in the second line is replaced with atma bija. In all other mantras, atma bija is prefixed and suffixed. Incorporating atma bija in a main mantra will always be decided by one's Guru.

Namaste Guruji! Pranams once again. I have another question. śrīṁ was derived as the Atma Bija. Since srim is comprised of aksharas "śa + ra + ī + nāda + bindu", does this mean I can use śa (box 7 in the akathaha cakra) as the base akshara in akathaha chakra for determining other mantras are suitable for me? Namaste! Dhanyavaad/Thank you Guruhji.

Namaste Guruji! Pranams. I have a question... In another place you describe atma bija as follows... "... In certain mantras, ātma bīja is also placed as part of the main mantra and in the case of all other mantras, they are to be encased with recitation of siddhi mantra at the beginning and at the end." I am curious to know how one would divine which mantras are to be encased by siddhi mantra and which mantras are to be chanted with atma bija prefixed/suffixed. Thank you! Shrim Shrim

It is only the sadhana that matters.
