Thanks for some very specific advice, Adi! I'd just note, for our

members who may be interested, that you can click on "Files" and read

a series of nine Navratri lectures by Sri Swami Sivananda, three

lectures each for Durga/Kali, Lakshmi, and Saraswati as Adi explained

in her post.

Can anyone recommend a favorite recording of Devi Mahatmyam being

chanted? Thanks!

Aum Maatangyai Namahe

Yes. The mahishaasura mardhini song from M S Subba lakshmi.
