dEvI khaDgamAlA stOtram

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Ganeshaya Namaha

I cannot answer all the questions but this is what I know:

Devi Kadgamala is also known as 'shakti mala'. The literal meaning of the word
is - mala (garland) made of kadga (daggers).

Each name in the stotram is a kadgam. when reciting Kadgamala, the daggers from
Devi's mala protects the person and wards off evil. It secures a person from
enemies and conspiracies. When praying one has to think of Sri chakram from the
petals to inner bindu.

The below is taken from a book on Devi:

There are 9 divisions in kadgamala (till 'chakra swamyinay namaha' in namavali).
1. Trai lokya mohana chakram- these are the powerful yantras of the tri-lokas .
2. 'sarva shaparipurvaka chakram'- this chakram fulfils the desires.
3. ' Sarva sankshobana chakram'-
4. 'Sarva soubaghyadayaka chakram' - giver all the saubhagyas
5.' Sarvardha sadhaka chakram'- helps in attainment of goals and achievements
6. 'Sarva rakshakara chakram'- gives all the possible rakshana to the devotee.
7. ' Sarva rogahara chakram'- gives panacea to all diseases
8. 'Sarva siddi pradayaka chakram'- giver of all siddis.
9. 'Sarva ananda chakram'- giver of all happiness

With prayers and regards,
Srilakshmi

Hari Om !!

Would some one clarify the following questions for me.

1. I compared the dEvI khaDgamAlA stOtram available at the Sanskrit
documents site with a Telugu book I have, and it is differing in
quite a few places. What is the acceptable source ?

2. There seems to be guru parampara embedded in the beginning. Why ?

3. What is the special significance of this stotram ? What is the
esoteric meaning of this stotram ?

4. What is its place in daily worship, and spiritual sadhana.

Om Namo Narayanaya !!

Srikrishna
