Namaste Krishnaji, I had a question on this and the other Shyamala mantras. Do we have to recite utkilana, sanjivana and shapavimocana mantras each time we do the mantra japam or only once when we start ? Thanks.

What I love most about Śrī Rāja Śyāmala is her irresistible attraction. Having her at our side facilitates the approach to any being in the universe. In fact, she is the power of attraction of Lalita, the most beautiful and playful of the three realms.

Your guru would have given the mantra with due consideration based on name, birth chart and not per your choice. So just chant what is given to you. There is no initiation for Siddhi mantra it is self initiation so no energy transfer per your question.

Thank you so much for sharing these treasures. Maha Ganapati and Raja Matangi melt all the obstacles between us and Lalitambika. Raja Matangi is Mantrini. Her perfection brings success in all sadhanas, be they left or right hand, good or bad. The sadhaka must be aware of this divine mother who brings success in all sadhanas. She is the almight Mantrini and prime minister of Lalita Tripurasundari.

It is always calculated from the day of death.

All the 8 forms of Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā are worshipped with a 1/10th japa count of what is performed for Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā. For instance, if we recite 1 mālā of 108 counts of Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā, we may recite 10 or 11 counts of  Śrī Laghu Śyāmalā mantra etc. Those interested in the individual deity Puraścaraṇa, can follow the mantra japa procedures for the specific deity accordingly. During the Navarātri, this special sādhana is done for the individual forms, where the entire procedure for the day specific deity is performed. The japa count is left to the capacity of the sādhaka. During the normal recitation of Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā mantras, there is no need to follow the complete procedures of Her aṅga devatas. Instead just the mantras can be recited as a 1/10th count (daśāṃsa).

You should follow the prescribed tantra and/or your guru's instructions. This Puraścaraṇa article describes the procedure in brief.

Thank you so much Krishnaji. am really thankful for your articles/responses/insights. If my memory serves me right, I remember somewhere Raviji suggested not to do more than one Tantric mantra at a time. How come Shyamala upasakas worship with 9 mantras in 9 days especially you mentioned purascharana count of 1 lakh each in your articles. Also, are 9 purascharanas done sequentially?
