Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 "...I chant the Siddha Kunjika alone at times - if you have heard Maa singing it you will understand why. But this is again a question for Swamiji to clarify... Hope this helps Latha" Dear Latha, This is my favorite text to chant, without a doubt! Last year, a friend of mine went to visit the ashram of Swami Prakashananda Sarasvati, who is no longer in the body. He was a beautiful soul, described as the embodiment of the Mother. He had lived in a cave on Saptashringeri Mountain and then built a very small ashram near the Saptashringeri Devi (a huge Chamunda carved from the living rock of the mountainside). My friend brought me back a tape that someone had given to her....of Prakashananda Swami chanting the Siddha Kunjika Stotram, teaching it to two Westerners who he was initiating into the Navarna mantra. This tape is so beautiful!!!! You can hear birds singing in the background, the sounds of the nearby street. Someone is doing the translation of Swami's words into English. He is telling one of the Western devotees that she should now chant the Siddha Kunjika Stotram 11 times per day...that this should be her only sadhana. There is a wonderful small book, written by one of his devotees and entitled, "Agaram Bagaram Baba". I think he is generally not very well known in the West but people I know who had the opportunity to meet him say that he was one of the sweetest human beings they had ever been with. When I first learned the Stotram, I learned it from his tape. When I read these stories of wonderful saints and yogis, it makes me even more grateful that there are people like Shree Maa and Swamiji, still in the body and available to us. best, sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nandita Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Dear Nityashakti, would you kindly post the Siddha Kunjika Stotram as I would appreciate knowing the words to it. I have recently bought the Agaram Bagaram book about Swami Prakashananda, and, as you probably know, this Devi mantra is mentioned in the book, but without the words. Thank you for your help, Nandita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srkumar6 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Hi All Please find the siddha Kunjika stotram in English Siddha Kunjika Stotram siddhkunjika stotaram let us know the significance of the Siddha Kunjika Stotram This is the essence of the Chandi, the Navarna Mantra, the constant reminder that change She will, change She must, because change is Her intrinsic Nature. What is the meaning of ‘Kunjika’ in the Siddha Kunjika Stotram? Kunjika literally means “something overgrown or hidden by growth or growing things.” Siddha means perfection. Stotram is the song. The Song of Perfection which is no longer hidden because of growth. That is, our spiritual growth and understanding of the Chandi exposes the hidden meanings of the bija mantras in the Song. When to recite kunjika stotatram who do not want to undergo the long Durga SaptaShati/Chandi Path. The Siddha Kunjika Stotra itself says at the begining that no argala or kilak stotra and other related matters is needed if one recites Siddha Kunjika Stotra. Kunjika, there is Devi in the form of Chamunda . Not only it works for Navaratri , it is to be chanted at the junction when Ashtami leaves and enters Navami . 24 mins before Ashtami ends to 24 mins after navami starts, is the time when Devi takes the form of Chamunda and had got to be chanted no matter the count to exhaust 48 mins . How to Count 48 minutes Each Tithi lasts for 24 hours . If for example the Navami starts at 21.30 pm in the night then you should start at 21.06 (which is Ashtami ) and continue untill 21.54 pm, that 48 mins is called Sandhi kshan or period of transit, when Devi in the form of Chamunda is killing Chanda and Munda (the demons). That is regarded as the most auspiscious time of Navaratri as Devi is ready to give boon after Sandhi kshan Om Ganeshaya Namaha Shiva uvacha Shrunu devii pravakshyaami kunjikaa stotram uttamam Yena mantra prabhaavena chandiijaapaha shubho bhavet na kavacham naargalaa stotram kiilakam na rahasyakam na suktam naapi dhyaanam cha na nyaaso na cha vaarchanam kungiikaapaatha maatrena durgaapaatha phalam labheth Ati guhyataram devi devaanaamapi durlabham Gopaniiyam prayatnena swayoniriva paarvati Maaranam mohanam vashyam stambhanochchaaTanaadikam Paathamaatrena sansidhyeth kunjikaa stotram uttamam Atha manthra ( Chant in one full breath) Om Aim Hrim Klim Chanmundayei Vicche Om gloum hum Klim jum sah Jwalaya Jwalaya Jwala Jwala prajwala prajwala Aim Hrim Klim Chanmundayei Vicche jwala ham sam lam ksham phat swaha Ithi Manthra Namaste rudrarupinyai namaste madhumardini Namaha kaitabhahaarinyai namaste mahishaardini namaste shumbhahantryai cha nishumbhaasuraghatini Jagratham hi mahadevi japam siddyam kurushva me aimkaari srushtirupayai hrimkari pratipaalikaa kliimkaari kaamarupinyai biijarupe namostu te chaamundaa chandagathi cha yeikari varadaayini vichche chabhayadaa nityam namaste mantrarupini dhaam dhiim dhoom dhoorjateh pathni vaam vim vum vaagadeeshwari kraam kriim kroom kalikaa devi shaam shiim shoom me shubham kuru hoom hoom humkaara rupinyai jam jam jam jambhanaadini bhraam brhiim bhrum bhairavii bhadre bhavanyai te namo namaha Am kam cham Tam tham pam yam sham vim dhum aim vim ham ksham dijagram Dijagram trotaya trotaya deeptham kuru kuru swaha paam piim poom parvatii poornaa khaam khiim khoom khecharii tathaa saam seem soom sapthashati devya manthra siddhim kurushva me idham thu kunjikastotram mantrajagarthi hethave abhakthey naiva daatavyam gopitam raksha paarvati yasthu kunjikaya devi hinam sapthashathim pateth na tasya jaayate siddhir aranye rodhanam yathaa Om Aim Hrim Klim Chanmundayei Vicche Om gloum hum Klim jum sa Jwalaya Jwalaya Jwal Jwal prajwal prajwal Aim Hrim Klim Chanmundayei Vicche jwal ham sam lam ksham phat swaha Iti shrii rudrayamale gourithanthre ishwar-paarvati samvaade kunjikaa stotram sampoornam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
