Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dear Kannanji, Though Ashtakam means eight verses Durgashtakam contains 9 but it actually is eight, the ninth being Phalashruti(the benefit of doing Durgaashtakam). This Ashtakam is a Siddha Stotra of Durga Devi. Siddha stotra or mantra means that a Siddha did it and attained the Darshan of the deity and an assurance that whosoever does the mantra or stotra will attain the same vision.ANyone can write stotras and mantras with some knowlede of Sanskrit, what is seen is the 'man behind the message not the message' and 'faith behind the ritual not the words'. This Ashtakam is also chanted with shraddha for appeasement of Rahu Bhagavan.Devotees enjoy lasting peace, positive energy, infinite power, fame, fearlessness, kind attention and love from Mother Durga. They achieve chaturvidh phal-dharma, arth, kam and moksha-all four goals of human life-righteousness, affluence in every area of life, fulfillment of all desires and finally the ultimate goal of life-the enlightenment.Friday is the day of Shri Durga Devi. It is recommended to listen or to the Ashtakam and other stotras of Shri Durga on Friday especially Rahu Kala.Some devotees burn a ghee lamp in a lemon during that time but there is no mention in Shastras to do such things.I think it followed by imitating what the Shasta devotees(Iyyappa devotees) burn in a big Indian Gooseberry(Amla) a ghee lamp. One's desire will be fulfilled if one gets up early in the morning when the human vibes are at a low and spiritual vibes of Rishis are at a peak and chants the Ashtaka either Once or eleven times or if one is capable 108 times.(Adhikasya Adhikaphalam--if one does more one gets more!) I will later incoporate it into the files section of my files group of this main group. I have given below the Durgaashtakam who wanted in ITRANS format hope this suffices... If anyone can make a PDF of this posting and file it in our files group or send me the file. I will be very grateful for the service.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dear Shreeramji, Thanks for your post on Durgashtakam. I have a doubt. Is there more than 1 durgashtakam?. I have one more Durgashtakam, got it from a Malayalam Astrological Magazine (old). This Durgashtakam starts with " Kartyayani mahayogi khadgapana danurdhari Khadgadharini chandi sri durge devi namosthuthe " and ends with (before phalasruti) " Ashtabahu mahasatve ashtami navami priye Ashtahasa priye bhadre durga devi namosthute " Have you ever heard of this stotra or ashtakam. Please let me know on this.
