In addition, If one does not have sufficient time to recite the Śrī Devī Mahatmyaṃ, also called Caṇḍī Pāṭha or Durgā Saptaśati, then he/she can recite the Śrī Siddhakuñjikā Stotram by itself. One can also consider the Śrī Caṇḍī Navākṣarī Mantra, if there's a strong desire to recite it. Since reciting the entire 700 verses of Śrī Durgā Saptaśati is difficult at one go, there are many variations that are mentioned in the devotional books detailing the manner of reciting specific combination of chapters per day, especially during the Navarātri days. Any of these variations may be followed. Also, as mentioned above, there is no harm in reciting this hymn at the beginning as well as at the end of the 700 verses of Śrī Devī Mahatmyaṃ.

Namaste Mohanji, for best results it is always preferred to chant Siddha Kunjika Stotram before reciting Durga Saptashati. This is clearly given in the stotra itself and also Krishnaji explained the reason very clearly (bhuta lipi activates the Bijas of Durga Saptashati). If you still want to chant it at the end then there is no harm....optimum results might or might not come. You can chant the stotra starting with Atah Mantra and all the way upto Phala Stuti. You may or may not recite Phala stuti as it only illustrates the benefits of this Great Stotra.

Namaste Krishna, Need clarification on two points: 1) Most of the Durga Saptashati books provide the Siddha Kunjika stotrams at the end. Is it ok to chant at the end of Durga Saptashati chant. 2) What are the minimum parts of Saptashati that has to be chanted to be complete?

Hello Swati Ji, You seem quite learned. I just started puja 4 months ago. My guru ji is Ravi ji from here. But I was wondering what did you mean by "Mantra-Baddha"

Vijeetji, my experience is a totally different. I did a Sadhana from 1992 till 2003. I then moved to a different Sadhana. 9 years after that I did the old Sadhana again with intensity. On 3rd or 4th day, mother blessed me with an experience which was many times beautiful than what I experienced before. If there is a talk like what you are suggesting in Tantra world - it probably is because, some are trying to project human emotions onto deity. I have heard many learned folks saying "Devatas are Mantra-Baddha". Vijeetji - I would love to know if there is a Shastra Pramana for your assertion.

@Anthony - You can if you want to. But Shodashi is sufficient for all spiritual needs. It also protects the sadhaka as it has all the that is required. Read below two https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/panchadasi-mantra https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/maha-shodashi-mantra-explained

@Krishna , I sent you a private email explaining everything about this special request together with a copy of the Kavach. @Jayanth I have not yet completed purascharana of Mahasodashi, and I don't know if I'm eligible yet to initiate myself to other mantras and the doubt still arise if whether one may recite Kali Kula mantras.

This article is the vedic procedure and it should be followed in the correct order as mentioned. There may be other variations too. I would suggest following the mentioned procedure in the exact order and it is very safe.
