Mahisasuramardini Stotram vis-a-vis the Chandi.... Question to Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivaya.

 

Dear Swamiji,

 

I have a question.

 

It is said that Sri Shanakaracharya composed the Mahisasuramardini

Stotram as a condensed version of the Chandi (a.k.a. Devi Mahatymam).

 

He was compassionate enough to realize that the Chandi would be a

challenging task for most people, and so he composed the ultra-

sweet, divine-sounding, and intensely spiritually inebriating short

chant of the Stotram.

 

It is also said that he declared that chanting the 21 verses of the

Stotram has the same benefits as chanting the whole 700 verses of

the Chandi.

 

Could you please throw some light on this aspect of the ancient

spiritual texts?

 

To ALL:

Please, this is not to ween away people from doing the Chandi; this

is just to enhance my knowledge of the ancient sacred texts and

their relation.

 

Jai Ma!

Yes! I too would like to know the answer to this as our Satsang group

has been chanting this great Stotram every week now.

Phala Sruti need not be taken literally all the time.

Such statements are exaggeration and are not meant to be taken

literally.

 

Chanting Mahishasura Mardini stotra will never give the fruit of

doing entire Saptashati.
