There is no specification given. In one of the books, I have seen that one should recite 444,444 times of Mahā Gaṇapati. As far as Mahā ṣoḍaśī is concerned,prescribed recitation is 900,000. I have observed generally that one begins to get the benefits of mantras if approximately 15,000 to 25,000 recitations are completed, with utmost sincerity. By the time one nears 50,000 recitations, he surely would have advanced spiritually.

As of now, please recite Shodashi mantra as it is. Watch your progress for 15 days and then let me know.

Dear Sir,Thank you for your response. I take your reply to mean that you have initiated me astrally. Many thanks for your kindness. I will follow your advice regarding chanting shodashi late evening on amavasya nights. Do you think I need the atmabija? As of now I am just chanting om in the place of atmabija as I do not know how to calculate it. May I request your kind advice and help in this regard if you feel it will help me further?Thank you,Vicaas

Recite Shodashi mantra regularly. You have been already initiated after your last mail. When you recite Shodashi without interruption, at least for 45 days, you will advance significantly. On new moon days (amavasya) days, chant Shodashi mantra late in the evening. Reciting Shodashi is more than enough for you.

Thank yov Sir. I have started reciting the Sapavimochana mantra as adviced by you and I can sense a distinct improvement within the last few days. The blessings I have been feeling have increased further. I am really stupefied that all this can happen without any formal initiation by a Sri vidya Guru. Do you think this simple routine of chanting Mahashodashi mantra is enough as a spiritual practise for a a lifetime? Or something else needs to be added? Do you initiate people into Sri Vidya Sadhana? Thanks and best regards,Vicaas

Both are correct. I have made a mistake by copying Bījavalī ṣoḍaśīmantra in GUHYA ṢOḌAŚĪ mantra. I have now set this right. I am sorry for the error. Thanks for pointing out this error.
