a pandit at banaras he's a mahapurohit at kalbhairav temple claims tht its

Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vicce which is the panchakshari durga mantra....is it true?

[Durgaputra 1]

Namaste! This is the navakshari or Chandi mantra. It can be said with out without pranava at the beginning. The Devi mandir tradition as well as my Guru tradition say it with pranava, but there are other traditions where they do not preface it with the pranava. All depends on the Guru parampara.

 

As for akshara- it is not a matter of opinion- just count the number of syllables.

war is pranava?

[Durgaputra 1]

It is the first part of the mantra you mentioned. Traditionally, bija mantras are only alluded to- and not mentioned(except when you get it from a Guru).

That's a very good mantra to Durga in the form of Chamundi. I, however, pray to Mother Durga using the mantra Aum Doom Durgayei Namaha.
