Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 My apologies if I sound naive, but I have a question. With Navratri just a few days away, can someone recommend simple devi Maa stotras/mantras which can be recited by a novice? Can *rudraksha mala* be used to do any devi mantra jap? Thanks.

One can find a bunch of stotra-s below. Maybe one can pick a few that appeal, with the exception of those having bIjAkShara-s or those needing upadesha. http://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/doc_devii.html > Can *rudraksha mala* be used to do any devi mantra jap? I never heard or read about any prohibition on using a rudrAkSha mAlA for devI mantra japa. It is generally considered very good to do any japa with rudrAkSha mAlA.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 During these holy days even when one is not able to chant or recite stotras, if he participates in a puja or homa it is said that the full benefits of it accrue to the participant and what can be more easier way to get Her grace.Rudraksha mala eor a tulsi mala enhances the benefits of a japa. ganapathy Sunil Vakharia <s_u_n_i_l_v wrote: My apologies if I sound naive, but I have a question.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thank you Satish, I have looked at the link that you provided below - the list is pretty exhaustive. I forgot to mention, that I am looking forward to doing *jap maalas* and hence most of the stotras (which are long) listed on that link are not suitable for this purpose. You mentioned that mantras/ stotras with bIjAkShara-s should be avoided. Does this rule out doing jap of the Navaarna mantra as mentioned on this website. http://www.trsiyengar.com/id09.shtml , " Satish " <satisharigela wrote: > > namaste, > > , " Sunil Vakharia " <s_u_n_i_l_v@> > wrote: > > With Navratri just a few days away, can someone recommend simple > devi > > Maa stotras/mantras which can be recited by a novice? > > One can find a bunch of stotra-s below.

I dont have that mantra either. Sridhar Seshagiri of this list posted the following stotra sometime back. People like us can definitely benefit from this. /message/2302 The above mantra can be found incorporated into this stotra. Juxtaposing the first letter of each shloka from 2 to 10 yields the navAkSharI mantra.
