Usually one seeks initiation into these type of ugra (fierce) devata (deity) mantras, when facing extreme difficulties. The difficulties could be external such as conflict with partners, enemies, legal issues, competition victory etc or internal, such as diseases, psychic conditions, black magic etc. or both external and internal. When the mantra japa is started, these issues seem to get a little aggravated based on one's karma and then will subside at a faster rate, than one would experience with the Soumya (gentler) deity mantras. I have had very good results from this mantra japa. The benefits were more spiritual than material and it helped break many barriers. One should seek guidance from their guru/spiritual guide and proceed accordingly.

Japa mantras can be chanted mentally or verbally while doing other works. However, to decide on this, one's Guru is the final authority.

But, I was taught not to recite the mantra clubbing with with regular routine. It should be recited only in allotted place and time. But can be extended as per our time availability. Can you please clarify?

Thanks a lot Krishnaji. When you say discomforts what kinds can they be(I mean physical, mental, social, psychic etc..,).

Ugra devatas speed up the depletion of karmas, which would generally bring a lot of discomfort and are therefore feared for this purpose. There is no compulsion in reciting the Śrī Pratyaṅgira mantra for the Śrī Vidya worshippers. But those facing extreme difficulties and dangers or in need of acquiring great power may benefit from this sadhana, if one worships with utmost devotion and love towards the Divine Mother. Depending on the tradition, One may recite Śrī Bālā or Śrī Gayatrī mantras along with that of Śrī Pratyaṅgira, if faced with a torrent of energy. Otherwise, the mantra japa can also be done independently.

Thanks Raviji - 1) If one recites lalita sahasranama, Maha Pratyangira protects the devotee. Am wondering would one need to do separate sadhana for Sri Maha Pratyangira? "Yo vabhicharam kuruthe nama sahasra padake, Nivarthya thath kriyaam hanyatham vai prathyangira swayam" 2) Most importantly, are there any precautions to be taken when worshiping ugra devatha like Sri Maha Pratyangira? I remember reading elsewhere long back that Gayatri sadhana is necessary to be able to behold the energy of Sri Maha Pratyangira ?

For best results, it is recommended to get initiated into the Pañcadaśī mantra or any of it's variants like the ṣoḍaśi etc.

Initiation is required before start of this kavach? Can we only recite kavach without shri Panchadasi mantra as I am not initiated into mantra?

This Kuñjikā stotram is for invoking and stirring the Śrī Caṇḍī Navākṣarī Mantra, to obtain the complete grace of the Divine Mother. This is mentioned in the 15th verse.

Thank you. . Why this stotram is specifically called kunjika? What exactly it is denoting and what is opened with the recitation of this mantra?
