Lalita Trishati stotra is considered a very powerful stotra because

each twenty names of Lalita Trishati start from each of the 15 letters

which forms the Pancha Dasakshari Mantra.

 

I used to recite it at our Devi temple long time back when I began my

search.

 

About the recitation it is very simple. Please see this video of

Swamiji reciting it.
