There are different versions available for many stotras. It is very difficult to establish which one is most authentic and must be followed. It is therefore suggested to obtain from a practicing guru and follow the advise of the guru on these matters. I am not an expert on Durga Saptaśati and its various methods of chanting, so I am unable to answer to your satisfaction.

The fire will be there as long as you are doing the japa, with oblations of ghee and other samidha. Please make sure that the Vessel or the Kuṇḍa that you use, is sufficiently big to accommodate. Another option, is to perform this task over several days. The final task of pūrṇāhuti, can be offered on the final day.

You may chant any stotras that you are comfortable with. We should not count mantra chanting during an eclipse event, as equivalent to Puraścaraṇa, even though the effects of the mantra japa are considered to be magnified during this time, if done with full concentration and single pointed devotion.

They may all be correct and I honestly have not seen them in any of the scriptural sources that I know of. The only Mātaṅgi Gāyatri mantra that I am aware of, is from Mantra Mahodadhi. It is below - aim̐ śukapriyāyai vidmahe । klīm̐ kāmeśvarīṃ dhīmahi । tannaḥ śyāmā pracodayāt ॥ ऐँ शुकप्रियायै विद्महे । क्लीँ कामेश्वरीं धीमहि । तन्नः श्यामा प्रचोदयात् ॥

Very clearly the article suggests NOT to go beyond 15 rounds at a time. If you still wish to do so, you may seek the advice of a yoga guru and practice accordingly. In general, it is always better to learn yoga from an expert and practice as advised. The knowledge from the website should be seen as a secondary source of information only.

Hello, on the occasion of Navaratri, I want to ask you what is the correct version of sloka that is in this document https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uijUuMrXx5YanJO7d37JJRrwwLQG8an0/view?usp=drivesdk. In it on page 4, under number 17, writes — ,,By sampuṭa of the śloka ityuktvā sā tadā devī, one is blessed with knowledge.'' This document provides only part of the sloka ,, ityuktvā sā tadā devī '' I tried to find its full version one ,,ityuktvā sā tadā devī tarasāntarhitā'bhavat | cāṇḍamuṇḍau tu tāndevīmadrāṣṭāṃ sevakau tayoḥ || 17 ||'' - This version is from Shiva Purana https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/shiva-purana-sanskrit/d/doc402909.html. Another version is available in śrīśāradāmāhātmyam https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/shAradAmAhAtmyam.html?lang=iast. Here it is - ,,ityuktvā śāṇḍilyamuniṃ devī cāntardadhe tadā smṛtvā vaco mahādevyāḥ śyāmalāyā munīśvaraḥ''. Please tell me which of them is mentioned in the document where I got this sloka? Which of these 2 slokas should be read front and back before each verse of Durga Saptashati? The document is taken from here http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1221&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 This document lists only a few words of this sloka ,, ityuktvā sā tadā devī '' when I tried to find the full version I found 2 or 3 different similar sloka, please help me to understand which version is correct.

Can we chant Stotras like TARA Astottara shatanama Stroram; Kali Ashtottara shatanama Stotram; TARA Ashtakam ...... As it is equal to purascharana on eclipse

Though I used to start japa with this śloka since long, only now I came to know from you the modified form it. Thank you so much. हरि: ॐ
