There are different traditions of Śrīvidyā and each one of them have different ways. The questions you have asked are specific to your tradition and your guru would be the best person to guide. From a general perspective, there are no guarantees of gaining mantra siddhi irrespective of the tradition that we follow. The deiies are not petty and do not seek your virtues. The sādhakas who have the utmost faith, understanding of the deity and the tantric processes and are also very sincere in their worship, are most likely eligible to gain siddhi of the deity's mantra. You may also wish to read about the Vāma mārga and Kaula mārga to gain further insight into the various traditions of tantra and this may help understand things better.

Sir, what is the nyasa that needs to be followed to chant Durga saptashloki stotram? Also does one need initiation to chant these 7 verses?

I am not aware of their practices. For all legitimate practices, there should be a śāstra pramāṇa (scriptural sanction). If the scriptures such as Paraśurāma Kalpasūtra do not mention of the same, then one can refer to the secondary tantras such as Mantra Mahodadhi, Śrīvidyārṇava Tantram etc. for verification. Ultimately, the onus lies with the guru who is providing the mantras and their word should be taken as sacrosanct and one can proceed with the initiated mantras. If there is no initiation, then it is best to NOT follow any texts either online or written or videos on the internet etc. but rather study them for a thorough understanding of the practices and seek a knowledgeable guru who can assist further. Proceeding further without a guru in matters related to mantra śāstra, may not lead to any success and in most cases leads to a lot of disappointment and disbelief in these practices.

hello sir, i recently came across the power of LS. And i want to recite it. But there are lot of questions running in my mind. as a beginner i am afraid to read it(there might be a chance of makiing mistakes). Iam really facing lot of obstacles in my career. Can listening to LS help me to overcome those obstacles? If yes, how many times should I listen? when should I listen? Can I listen in the afternoon and what are the steps to learn it? What the things I should follow? Please help me get a clear glance over the LS. Thank you!

The entirety of Śrīvidyā (the practice of Lalita tantra) is encapsulated within the sacred Śrī Lalitā Sahasranāmam. Recitation of this stotra and the subsequent unlocking of its potential, is possible for the sādhakas of Śrīvidyā and particularly for the initiates of the coveted Pañcadaśī mantra. Considering that you are not initiated into Śrīvidyā, my suggestion is that you start learning the meanings of the nāmas, a few of them everyday and contemplate upon their meanings. Once you have completed the same, chances are, that you may find relief in your material desires and wants. You may also wish to check with a jyotish astrologer and see what grahas could be impacting you currently and perform sādhanas associated with them, to obtain some relief. Anyone yearning for self-realization and a deeper meaning of life etc. can learn and practice Śrīvidyā. It is important to note that material desires do not get fulfilled so easily and some suffering is inescapablle. All of this can be reduced if there is a proper guru who can assist in your journey. Related to the timing of the Śrī Lalitā Sahasranāmam, I would recommend that you read this article thoroughly including the comments. Hopefully, this may answer all your queries.

I have made the necessary corrections. The bīja and śakti have been corrected in the Viniyoga and the Ṛṣyādi nyāsa section.

Everything that exists and that which is unmanifested, is consciousness, either dormant or active. This is the knowledge that is dawning upon you. It is a huge blessing from the Divine Mother. Enjoy!
