Understanding and contemplating on the meanings of each nama is very important. Please read the Lalita Sahasranamam book, that is on the top of this web page. Mere recitation of the namas may not yield desirable results.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.Mantra japa is even better, if combined with Ujjayi Pranayama (Abdominal Breathing) may yield much faster results. An initiation might be required for certain mantras.As Ravi ji pointed out, Utmost Devotion (bhakti) is the most essential part of spiritual practices.All of the above practices require time and effort on our side. Results also depend on various factors like Karma, devotion, practice etc. Patience is definitely required. Do not expect overnight results!

Is it when ParamaShiva has a will to create, the will becomes consciousness meaning Shiva? Because of inherent nature of this consciousness bliss arises, at this stage the will gets externalised and Shakthi gets created because of this? Only from this point the problem of confusion and false identification happens/starts ( which most of us are in this stage) and we again start going back to its true form of consciousness and bliss by intention , affirmation etc. So finally what is cause for initial will of ParamaShiva and cause for Shiva will after the bliss stage?

Sorry for this basic question. Isn't Shakthi always with Shiva all the time, meaning If there is Shiva there will be be Shakthi, but it can be either as an upadi or visesana, as explained in the Spitiual progression articles? In crux both always exists together, even though Shakthi cannot exist without Shiva(which is the cause), but if Shiva exists then Sakthi will exist as upadi or visesana?

Once when the consciousness is pure is it that the state that one enters is the source of everything. Meaning he will understand from that point of view how everything happens and how everything is connected/same? Further in this state if the person with this capability(yogi) will truely understand the essence of everything and how everything is only from him, by realizing the working of all aspects of Maya? By realizing himself?

This is how Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa showed Kali Devi to Vivekananda.

When consciousness is afflicted by thought processes, it appears as impure. This sutra says that unless our thought processes are completely eliminated, our consciousness continues to be veiled by the effects of mind. When there is no thought process in the mind, the consciousness becomes pure and only such a person is eligible to become one with Shiva.

Isn't the willpower and concentration mentioned above be effective in material life as well? Even though it would create additional karma. But the manifestation would take place if one focuses all his attention on a particular outcome?

Isn't the consciousness always pure and it is only the mind that is impure and because of which consciousness seems impure? If yes why is it told that consciousness is purified to merge with Shiva by a yogi?

It is not the number of times that is important. What is important is your bhakti towards HER. Your possible benefits purely depends upon your devotion.
