It is better to have this mantra initiated. It is one of the powerful mantras.

Sir,1)you accepted that brahman is inactive,but according to kashmir shaivism....brahman is active....how is this possible?2)After moksha,there is no power,only...brahaman state....which is called as swayam prakasha...sat-chit-anada will be there...so ,that power...dissapears...as dream dissappears when we wake up.....so that power...or brahman's power which kashmir shaivism says is mithya just like dream...and brahman is the only reality........that is advaita...3)krishna only said...in geetha brahman is inactive....how abhinava gupta,,,pretend this in his commentary on bhagavath geetha,,,,,in support if kashmir shaivism...because in kashmir shaivism...brahman is with acitvity???please answer for this sir.....

Mukti is different from Mokṣa. Only latter leads to cessation from transmigration. Brahman is always inactive. Only His Power is active. After Mokṣa. there is no need for anything, as we are becoming One with Brahman. But in the case of Mukti, it is only temporary cessation from transmigration. There is no question of sustaining liberation. It is only a fraction of a second moment of merging individual soul with Brahman, who is always inactive.

Sir,yes....I accept that...we have to work hard to get liberated....but after getting liberated....there is no need to work....to sustain liberation...so, liberation is inacitve state...or advaita state is inactive state....it is not active state,SO BRAHMAN IS NISHKRIYA OR INACTIVE....if it active state...we have to always practice to keep liberated...which is against to the definition of liberation.....which means...free from all.....what you say for this sir?

Whatever the path we follow, we cannot attain Liberation without sādhana. Without practice, proper configuration of mind, intellect and consciousness cannot take place. Śakti-pāta is not something that we practice. It is the reward for our Love towards Him. Even Advaita clearly says that knowledge alone does not lead to Liberation. Knowledge is an essential and supportive part of our path to Liberation. There is no difference between Kashmiri Savaism and Advaita. Both are non-dualistic in nature. Liberation is not a easy process; we have to work hard.

Sir,I have one question,please answer......1)my opinion is,through SAKTHI PATH ....we cannot get permanent....effect.....for example,......a)one learn bharathanatyam....where there is shakthi and knowledge...or knowledge with activity....if we leave the practice for few years...his efficiency in baratha natyam will reduce.....b) a weight lifter...lifts 85 kg of weight,,,,,it is knowledge with shakthi...if he leaves the practice ,,,,for few months...he cannot even lift ....65 kg.......SO,WHAT WE CAN CONCLUDE IS .....what ever knowledge we get through shakthi ,or KNOWLEDGE WITH ACTIVITY ,is decreasing with TIME.....or its efficiency is decreasing with time AND ONE DAY IT DOESN'T EXIT.... we have to practice regularly to avoid decrease in efficiency......So,knowldge with activity is not brahman....brahman is inactive knowledge......or in other words......NISKRIYA JGNANA.....which will never perish.or decrease with time..and always present......SO,ADVAITA TELLS TO BECOME NISKRIYA KNOWLDGE...WHICH IS NOTHING BUT MUKTHI...,,,,,,because mukthi is heighest level...then after..we want nothing.....but here in kashmir shaivism....even in mukthi we have to practice shathipath...to preserve the efficiency...of that knowledge.......which means...even mukthi is not ULTIMATE.....we have to work...to preserve over existence........which cannot be mukthi...because...mukthi is liberation ......but ,in kashmir shaivism.....to keep liberation...we have to work....which is for away from.....truth.....Sir,please reply...for this...I am waiting for your answer.......what you say for this?

This is only for Śrī Devī Māhātmiya Pārāyaṇa and not for Śrī Caṇḍi Navākṣarī Mantra.

I have book on Durga Saptashati, in which a shapa vimochana mantra is given (given below), no sure whether this should be recited before Chanting the Chandi (9 letter mantra) or before chanting the parayana.Om Hrim Klim Srim Kraam Krim Chandike Devi Shaapanugraham Kuru Kuru Swaha (this has to be chanted 7 times)
