I think this is for those devotees who regularly follow a certain schedule of chanting the the entire DM and if for certain reasons beyond their control , if they are not able to do that , then such short cut methods would come to their rescue and it is not for everybody.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 very true, I am not suggesting that it is an alternative for DM. IMHO, however out of their kindness mahans have taken into account the inability of many lay persons who are not able to (or capable of) undertaking such sadhanas. Hence they compose alternatives which provide proportional benefits. regards Vishwam ________________________________ ganapathy = = vijaya <srividya101 Thursday, April 30, 2009 1:31:58 AM DM -- Saptha Shloki Re: Devi Mahtmay Ashtak Stotra Posted by: " vishwanthan Krishnamoorthy " krishvishy krishvishy Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:49 am (PDT) My father used to say that Appaya Dikshitar's Durga Chandrakalasthuti gives the same benefit as chanting DM as the essence of DM is captured in the 18 slokas Namasthe If bu just chanting for a few minutes the DM - Devi Saptha Shloki , gives the full benefit of chanting the 700 shlokas involving about 2.30 hrs ,why in the first place should there be a procedure of chanting of the entire DM.
