Hello Krishna, You said, "If you are looking for any specific benefits, then the Saundarya Lahari book/blog posts on this website might help you. Each stotra is said to yield certain specific results according to the Shaktya tradition." Each sloka requires to be chanted like 1,000 times per day for a certain number of days (45 for example). is this necessary?? Chanting a Soundarya Lahari sloka 1,000 times in one day takes HOURS. For some people with busy lives and things to do, there is just not enough time in the day to do 1,000 repetitions everyday. Is doing the number of repetitions as prescribed really NECESSARY? Or like you said, is Bhakti (devotion) more important than the number of repetitions???? Thank you

For every mantra, certain number of repetitions are prescribed for performing purascharna. Even after performing purascharana, mantra may not frucitfy. The question arises what is fructification. It is said that fructification means certain siddhis. Not every one gets siddhis; not even one in a million. Mantras ultimately work on the mind and calms it down to realize the Self within.  As far as Saundaryalahari is concerned, though number of repetitions are prescribed, we have to take into account two things. One - there is no authentic proof for such repepetions. Second - Those who have recited prescribed number of repetitions did not get the desired result.  Someone may get the desired results and others may not.  It all depends upon one's karma.

When it comes to chanting a mantra or a sloka from the Soundarya Lahari for example, should one chant for a FIXED number of repetitions per day, or chant as many times as one wishes in one day?

There are many methods to derive atma bija. But from my experience, I can definitely say that the method adopted by us seems to be the best and works very well for more than 95% .

Another interpretation I have seen, takes the square consisting of the first letter of the person's name as the "First Square" and continuing to the rest of the squares top down and right-left approach. For instance, in this case, the "CIII" square of the Original akathaha chakra becomes the new "AI" square and likewise "CI" of the original chakra becomes the new "AIII" on the horizontal side. Vertically, the original "DIII" is now the new "BI". The best way to look at this chakra, is like a scroll with vertical and horizontal folds.

You have to check for bijaksharas from square 1. In this case you can choose ह्रीं hrīṁ as atma bija. It is importnat that a proper bijakshara is derived for atma bija.

If a persons name is Indira which falls in C III 11 in that case which row and column to be checked for deriving an atma bija as there is one row below that and two rows above that one column after that and and two columns before that
