Clarification regarding recitation of Sri Devi Khadgamala Stotram

[Guest guest]

Sree Maatre Namah,

 

I have read the FAQs regarding Sri Devi Khadgamala Stotram.

I understand that anybody willing can recite the stotram irrespective

of being initiated by Guru or not.

 

Still i require a clarification. I have downloaded the "Sri Devi

Khadgamala Stotram" from below mentioned link.

http://sanskrit.gde.to/all_pdf/khadgamala.pdf

 

In the last page of the above mentioned document at the end of the

stotram, it says "Malamantram ParamGUHYAAM...", it also

mentions "TasmaadGOPYAM TaraadGOPYAM RAHASYAM..". It highlights that

this stotram is a secret (GUHYAM, GOPYAM, RAHASYAM).

Even after the stotram being declared as a secret can I still recite

it without being initiated to Sri Vidya?

 

I have been initiated only to Sri Gayatri Mantram during my

Upanayanam. I am very much interested to recite Devi Khadgamala

Stotram, but I am hesitant as I m not initiated to Sri Vidya.

 

Like many working people today I have a very hectic schedule. But

still i want to bring some spiritual disclpline through a commitment

towards recitation of Devi Khadgamala Stotram. I love reading books

and posts on Sri Devi and many Gods and Goddess. I always think of

them and search internet for any new posts or articles on Devi

Lalitha. This devine stotram has given me ray of hope to bring some

spiritual discpline.

 

 

Namaste,

Santosh.

That's the beauty of it all. A challenge for all of us spiritual

aspirants to overcome. To be commited to our work, so that we can earn

a decent living and feed our family can be spiritual in nature too.

Whatever manuscript originally contained the Khadgamala Stotram has

been lost beyond the reach of human memory -- so any original

restrictions on use have also been lost.

 

What we have left is the modern evidence. Countless people have

chanted the Khadgamala Stotram without initiation by a guru; it also

serves as a mneumonic device that will help the user memorize the

names, sequences and locations of the Devis for use in the full

Navavarana Puja, which would be basically impossible to perform

without having first assimilated those essentials. When it is time

to perform the full Navavarana Puja, *that* is when you need a

qualified Guru's formal diksha and guidance.

 

Finally, there is the simple fact that a qualified Guru -- Sri

Amritananda Natha Saraswati -- has declared that the KS may be

recited by all, and bring great benefits to all who undertake to

learn and use it. And on this path, the word of the Guru surpasses

all other authority.

 

So my reply to your query would be: Relax. Learn it. Chant it. Enjoy

it.

It is pronunciation dear and not pronounciation.
