Lalitha Sahasranama: Details of Worship?

[Guest guest]

[Received off-list from a new member. Seems like there is plenty to

discuss here:]

 

I joined group only yesterday. I have a few questions

which I would very much appreciate if you can clarify.

 

I started reciting Lalitha Sahasranama in stotra form daily since about 7

months. I just recite them without any specific procedure. I just want

to know if any particular procedure is to be followed, if any

naivedyam is to be offered, etc.

 

Also, I have placed a copper srichakram at the base of the Devi photo

on the platform in my puja room. Is this OK?

 

I would also like to know what are anganyasa and karanyasa? When this

has to be recited and followed? When should Lalitha sahasranama be

recited in the archana form? I would like to have details about the

navavarana puja procedure, how that should be done and other related

details.Kindly clarify for the above questions and any useful tips

regarding devi and srividya worship.

{just recite it imagining yourself showering the choicest flowers at

HER feet with each name and SHE smiling down happily and blessing

you – That's it}

{why can it not be OK?}

{why have all the elaborate ritual when SHE will come running if you

just call her? Get DIksha from a competent guru and learn all these,

that's better. Till then reciting LS will give you everything}
