Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Chits, Can i have the name of the book, I will hunt for it here, probably in Giri Stores. Hope it is in sanskrit as reading tamil is very difficult.
Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index I would like to read Lalitha Sahastranamam. Can you tell me how do I go about it. I have a book which consists of 92 pages with each chapter consisting shlokas followed by sankalpa, karnyasa etc.. and ends with Lamityadipanchapuja. Every chapter has got the same title Lalitha Shastranamam Stotram. Can you guide me which are the shlokas which is to be recited. Do I need to recite all the chapters.
Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Dear Mals, It is in Hindi, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur & is called Sree Durga Sapthas(h)athee It is available in all hindological book shops & definitely in Giris.The font is big & it is meant for Parayanam. Love, Chithra.
Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Dear Mals, Unless you take upadesha, you need not do sankalpa, karnyasa, Lamityadipanchapuja. Just chant the dyana shlokas and sahasranamam. Nothing more. Love, Chithra.
Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Dear Chits, Re: Lalitha Sahastranamam There are shlokas in each chapter. Which is the one which we can recite in? One of the tamil aunty asked me recite chapter two having 183 shlokas. This chapter is titled as Sri Maturavatar. Sree mata ... Devakarya samudhyata (Shloka 1) to Shri Shiva .. jaguu (Shloka 183). Please do not get confused with my queries. I want to recite the correct shlokas. RE: Durga Sapashatee Thanks a ton for the information. I will hunt for the book in Giri stores.
Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Dear Mals, I will verify with my book & get back. This is the first time, I am hearing of chapters in L S namam ! Love, Chits.

Re: Check here - the Shlokas Index Dear Chits, Last Night I logged in to the website of Gita Press and downloaded the hindi version. At the end of all the 13 chapters I did not find the required mantra: uvacha mantra, shloka mantra, Ardha mantra, avam and avamaditya. I read all the verses. I did find the mool mantra. Can you help me here? Secondly, I have book on Satpashatee published from Pune and many of us follow this book.

Navachandi - Shatachandi - Sahastrachandi - Homaprayoga Vidhi 50. Pallavayojana Vidhihi 51. Kunjaka Stotram 52. Devi Kshamapana Stotram 53. Durga padhudhar Stotram We have been reciting the verses in this order. While I was going through the "Saptashati" download version from Gita Press, it had mentioned that we have to read Madhyama Charitam first, then prathama Charitham and then Uthama Charitham. Chits, myself and all the elderly aunts here (with I have been racking my brain) are reading in the given order above. I have been doing if for more than 3 years now. I have asked so many of them to tell me about the Uvacha Mantra, etc.. They just shooed me away saying, "we are not performing any homa .. so forget it. End of the prayers we should say the 'prayer for forgiveness' and close the chapter". I like to do it correctly or stop it. In case I am doing something wrong, i would like to stop reading these holy verses. Also in the net it had mentioned that we need to follow certain pattern if we cannot finish the book in a day. The book should be finished in 7 days and there are certain patterns to be followed. Sorry for this long post, but I need to clarify all my doubts before I start reading this book again. Can you please help. I am so happy to get my doubts on Lalitha Sahastranama clarified. Tomorrow is Firday and I can read the verses marked by you. May God be with you always. Bye!!

Atha sapthashloki durga PrathamOdhyaaya: upto Thrayodasodhyaaya: followed by kshamaa prarthana You are done. You can read one chapter (adhyaya)) per day. But read Atha sapthashloki durga And kshamaa prarthana everyday before & after. Love, Chits.
