One who has performed great merit in his/her previous lives may have the chance of getting initiated into Mahāṣoḍaśi mantra. One need not look any further for spiritual emancipation beyond this mantra, if they're fortunate enough to get initiated into it. For material benefits however, there are many other mantras that are out there, which can be recited for relief. A person who has pūrṇābhiṣeka dīkṣa, which is usually associated with a successful completion of the Mahāṣoḍaśi mantra or at any time by the grace of one's guru, gets the authority to initiate others as well as if needed for himself, to any mantras. In general, this is for the śrī vidya mantras. It is important to remember that they're all manifestations of the Supreme Divine Mother Śakti Herself and She is Mahāṣoḍaśi. If in doubt, Please check with your guru and recite the mantras with his/her permission.
When it comes to reciting stotras and kavacas, especially of tantric nature or involving the Daśamahāvidyā-s, it is better to recite with the appropriate nyāsas, since they're meant for activating the mantra as well as protecting our phsycial, astral and causal bodies. It is highly recommended to recite the hymns along with the mantra japa, although they can be done independently as well. Based on time constraints, you can choose appropriately. One who surrenders to the Divine Mother fully, will receive the appropriate guidance from Her.

Krishna Sir and Ravi Sir,
If someone is initiated into Mahasodashi Sri Kula, can they recite also Kali Kula Mantras, strotams like you ppost Durga mantras which falls into Kali Kula?. I know that one should concentrate on the most powerful mantra which is Sodashi but many Rishis in the past did Purascharana of both Sri Kula and Kali Kula which is both considered supreme.
Regarding stotrams, some verses say to be careful when reciting them, is it not safe to recite when it includes powerful beeja mantras? How can one protect oneself before reciting stotram and none suggest nyasas or protection formulas.
I'm asking as I've having a specific issue and there is a really powerful sotram of Kali which even Lord Vishnu recited to seek protection from the divine Mother Kali Herself. I know mantras are more effective but first one need to get siddhis after thousands of recitation compared to strotam, kavach which are siddhs and give sometimes instant result.
Hope you are getting my point of not going after several mantras.

Brahman is formless. But these sotras adore the concerned deity as Brahman. Simple comparison cannot be made between Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalita Sahasranama, former will adore Vishnu as Brahman and the latter will adore Lalitamigai as Brahman. This is the poetic freedom given to the composers.

Hi sir... here you have stated that the abode of Vishnu is the highest but in your post about Sri Chakra, it seems Sri Nagara is the highest loka. In your post about Lalita Sahasranamam, you didn’t want to place Devi as supreme and keep on placing her as inferior to Siva but here you have stated Visnu as the supreme lord, Narayana. So, who is actually the supreme Brahman according to you?

This mantra requires an initiation. I would strongly suggest reciting the Śrī Mahālakṣmī/Kamalātmikā Kavacam as well as the śrī pratyaṅgirā sarvārtha sādhaka kavacaṃ prior to as well on a regular basis, for all those who wish to recite this mantra. The śrī siddha lakṣmī stotram is also considered extremely beneficial for early fructification of the mantra.

Hi Sir, thank you very much for posting this Siddha Lakshmi mantra. As she is referred to Mūla Pratyaṅgirā, do we need to recite "Sri Prathyangira Devi Sarvartha Kavacham" before starting the japa procedure? Or is it fine to recite this mantra alone without any other mantras to obtain the grace of Siddha Lakshmi? I am asking this because there is (A warning to recite the Pratyangira Devi Sarvartha Kavacaṃ, PRIOR to the mantra sadhana of śrī pratyaṅgirā devi.)

In such a situation, you have to visualize that you are touching those parts with your fingers of right palm.

It is said that While reciting the mantra, each body part mentioned against each mantra is to be touched with thumb and ring finger of the right palm. But some parts like Posterior side of right palm, Right elbow are not possible to touch with Right hand fingers. Can you please clarify then how to proceed?
