NOTE: Do not forget the recite Siddha Kunjika Stotram ( सिद्धकुञ्जिकास्तोत्रम् ) before reading every chapters.
Siddha Kunjika Stotram ( सिद्धकुञ्जिकास्तोत्रम् ) alone provides all the benefits of Durga SaptaShati (ढुर्गासप्तशती).
There are hundreds of paths up the mountain, all leading in the same direction, so it doesnt matter which path you take.

Thanks for this help
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteCan we read Durga Sapthashathi without fasting during Navrathri ? Is it enough if we recite Siddha kunjika Stotram after completing chapters of Durga Sapthashathi or we should also recite Argala Stotram
Keelakam, Ratri Suktam
With warm regards,
Lata
Hi Lata,
DeleteYes, we can read Durga Saptashati in Navratri without fasting. There are so many ways to read complete Durga Saptashati but here is the correct way to read the Kavch.
Can we read Devi Saptashati without fasting in Navratri and also perform Havan for 9 days i.e 1st day Shailputri Maa, to 9th day Siddhidatri Maa without fasting
ReplyDelete@Lata It does not matter as far as I can say. The best thing is reciting everyday whether it is Navratri or not. Fasting is just the way of showing respect towards the Goddess on Navratri.
ReplyDeleteAs in Siddha Kunjika Stotram Lord Shiva clearly states in the first paragraph that "no argala or kilak stotra and other related matters is needed if one recites Siddha Kunjika Stotra."
Furthermore, Lord Shiva says: Siddha Kunjika Stotram is enough to yield whole benefits of Durga SaptaShati.
This does not mean one should not recite the Durga SaptaShati. If you have time please read the Durga SaptaShati during Navratri. There are very interesting and powerful stotras about Divine Mother. The Mother says whoever read Durga SaptaShati during Navratri she will be very pleased and their all desires will be fulfilled.
When you recite with the basic principles of Hinduism on cleanliness and with profound love and respect for Divine Mother.
May Maa Durga Bless you with Love, Prosperity and Good Health.
Pranamams!!

ReplyDeleteYes you can. There are few rules to follow such as bathing and Wearing new clothes. If you busy just read Siddha kunjika strotra. As Lord Shiva says: Siddha Kunjika Stotram is enough to yield whole benefits of Durga SaptaShati.
