Namaste. Verses from Saundarya Lahari have Prayogas that are difficult to perform in Kali Yuga. Householders who want excellent material and spiritual benefits for the whole family need look no further than the 108 names of Raja Śyāmalā. Everything a householder or aspiring householder needs can be achieved by meditating and reciting the 108 names of the Minister of Lalitā three times during sunrise, noon, sunset and midnight. It is important to remember that the heads of families must respect their wives and not see them as objects, pieces of land or property. The householder must love his wife to the best of his ability and in every way and see her as an equal. Just like Lalitā, your wife will become sweet and beautiful if you love her, but if you don't, she will become a terrible Kāli in your life. If she isn't happy even after you love her, you should let her go. Never try to take away her freedom under any circumstances. Men usually blame their wives, but they are the ones who need to change and respect and love them properly. If you practice Sadhana and don't respect women you are doomed and cursed, no doubt about it. There is nothing worse than worshiping Shakti and disrespecting women at the same time, as they are the very embodiment of Shakti. Disrespect towards women destroys lives and entire countries, because of the intensity of karma and curses that fall on those involved. Much of the world's problems and miseries today involve a lack of understanding and right treatment of women for centuries. The curse that falls is very strong and many times not even a Sadhana of a lifetime can solve it. The devotee who disrespects women meets his downfall very quickly or painful and slow suffering during a long life.

Namaste Tripuraghna Ji, just like Vaishnava folks chant Ram Ram continually, can we chant Lalita Laita all the time and please Lalita Ambika this way?

Namaste Jothi. Lord Shiva is like an infinite and still ocean. Shakti is like the force that creates innumerable waves in this ocean. Lord Shiva has no will, for Shiva is already the immense ocean and the whole, leaving nothing to be desired. Unlike Lord Shiva, Divine Mother Shakti has will and eternally plays with this infinite ocean (Shiva) creating waves upon waves. Divine Mother Shakti can choose to omit, but she never strays from Shiva. The destruction is a consequence of Shakti's own choice not to act. Wherever Shakti ceases to act, that place is dead and still, absorbed in Shiva. It is a great mistake for devotees to think that liberation is immersion only in Shiva, the great destroyer (still ocean), for Shiva is inseparable from Shakti and she will inevitably want to play with you eternally. Shakti is independent, she will see you immersed in Shiva and she will create waves and waves in you. These waves are different experiences and need not be unpleasant. They can be waves of bliss, light, powers, fun and happiness. Shakti wants to play, eternally. Therefore, the Supreme Shakti is called Lalitā Mahātripurasundari. She is that Shakti that once known, everything is known simultaneously, resulting in omniscience. The devotee knows the full extent of the Tattvas, succeeds in ascending and descending in them. He becomes competent to explain all scriptures and refute all religious systems. He attains that inspired knowledge of infinite Kalas (arts) and attains "Karma Siddhi". Then he attains identity with Lalitā and obtains "Yoga Siddhi", and without a doubt he can see the sound with his own eyes. He will finally understand how the Sages converted sounds into scriptures like the Vedas and where they came from. The three worlds will be unable to be the objects of his unjust rage, as he has already identified with the entire universe at this stage. He has already identified with the ocean and the waves of the ocean. Then he gets "Jnana Siddhi", which is identification with the waves of the ocean, with the ocean and with that which is beyond the ocean.

Question - Soundarya lahari verse 1 say's when Shakti is not with Shiva, he cannot even move. then how can we undertsand this - "When Śaktī moves away from Śiva, He starts His cosmic dance, causing annihilation. Śaktī witnesses His cosmic dance"

Namaskaram, has anyone attained any benefit by chanting this verse? Kindly share your experiences..

Thanks Krishna ji I will wait for it. A humble request if you feel so....can you send her Khadagmala stotra to my mail id: aristides666@gmail.com because chaturmaas is going on and I wish if I can get her grace through this Khadagmala.

It can be lifelong. No other mantra is necessary, unless you feel a strong inclination towards other deity mantras.

I will work on this and get it out sometime later this year or early next year.

Unless specifically directed by your guru, you should not be reciting this mantra. Recite the mantras that have been initiated to you and try to be very focused during mantra japa. This will help you progress further.

Only the mantra. This is the Samaya method that skips the Viniyoga, nyāsa etc and is meant to be purely meditative. Those who are seeking material benefits etc, must follow the prescribed japa method. At some point of time, it is best to internalize the mantra and ascend the material wants and needs to progress further on the spiritual side.
