Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Namaste For someone who cannot speak sanskrit or is not even very fluent with any of the Indian lnaguges, can such a person do a homa of the Kunjika Stotra instead of the actual full Durgasaptasati. Specially since in the beginning of the Kunjika, it says Kunjika path is almost equivalent to Durgasaptasti. -Regards Rajarshi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Namaste Kunjika Shotram is a very powerful one, why do homan of it, atleast I have never heard anybody doing it but I am very ignonart too, instead there is a Durga Sapta Slokas that may be more easier and lighter. Only one Shri agaram bagaram baba (I am sure my spellings are wrong) a disciple of swami muktananda has indicated that one can chant for 11 times daily and that is enough. He seemed to be very realized and lived near Nasik, someone has written his biography. Kunjika Shortram one recites to overcome any mistakes one may have done with reciting chandi paath. by the way one can listen kunjika shotram in beautiful voice of shree maa as follows http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal/node/1546, on this page there is a link.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Namaste Rajarshi, for sure i don't have answer for your question. I just finished the Chani Paath. What i read is 13 chapters and then 'Kunjika Stotra'to conclude. Kunjika Stotra says two things which creates some confusion if you go by letral menaing: * Yen Mantra Prabhaven ChandiJapo Shubho Bhavet: (With the power of this mantra, Chandi Path becomes Auspicious/Fruitfull) * KunjikaPaathMatren DurgaPaatham Phalam Labhet: (Only by reciting Kunjika Stotra, one can get Fruit of Chandi paath) The former one says that Kunjika Stotra will make Chandi Paath a Success which means that it is a recitation in addition to the Chandi Paath while later one indicates that Kunjika Stotra can be a replacement of Chandi Paath. *** Honestly, I am not reading Kunjika Stotra because it says that you don't need to recite Argala, Kavach, Kilakam, Rahsyaas etc.. not because Shiva says that it is a effective shortcut But becuase i really really like the rhydhm of Kunjika stotra. it give me great Joy to recite it-- specially the verses such as Dham Dhim Dhum Dhurjate Patni, Vaam Vim Vum Vaagahishwari Kraan Krin krun Kaaika devi, Shan Sahin Shun me Shubham Kuru Bhram Bhrim Bhrum....Dhijagram Dhijagram....Paam Peem Pum I love to read it loudly. Jay Jagadamba!!! Happy MahaShiv Raatri to allthe members and thankyou to Narasimha for Shiva Manual at the Right time Warm Regards, Utpal , " rajarshi14 " <rajarshi14 wrote: > > Namaste > > For someone who cannot speak sanskrit or is not even very fluent with > any of the Indian lnaguges, can such a person do a homa of the Kunjika > Stotra instead of the actual full Durgasaptasati.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Dear friends, As per our tradition, the mere mention of gods name is capable of removing all sins. I remember reading some stories in Karthika Puranam of a cruel and sinful person calling his son when he is about to die. His son is named after Siva. Merely by calling the gods name before dying, the person attains punya loka! In another story, a hunter does not get food on a Karthika Monday and goes to a temple hoping some left overs and as it is dark, lights a lamp, and he gets the punya of upavasa and lighting the lamp. Neither of the above did this intentionally. But, perhaps, both of them carried favorable karma from their respective past lives! Remember the story of Kausikopakhyanam? (Kaushika once looks angrily at a crane angrily and it burns to ashes. That day Kushika goes begging and looks at a house wife angrily. The lady tells him that she is not the crane and surprised kaushika asks for secret of her strength and she directs him to her teacher who sells meat! The teacher explains Kaushika the importance of unattached karma. Easy it sounds, but, not easy to practice. So, it is useless to argue as to what is superior and what is inferior. All the different paths are equally important and perhaps equally efficient provided we traverse that path efficently! Chittasudhi is important to what ever sadhana we do for which controlling out wandering mind and focusing on the ultimate goal is the single most challenge. Each of us may find different ways to help us focus. For example, I find doing the following 4 to be useful: 1. Doing Japam while facing Sun 2. Doing Japam in front of a big portait of Ramakrishna/temple 3. Doing Japam while shower is running on me 4. Doing Japam in front of Homam Now, do I need to find out which of the above is more beneficial? I do not think so. If I can control my mind 100%, then the means does not matter. I can do what ever I feel comfortable at the time. For now, I am doing homam. Each of you can try it out and you feel it is helping you more stick to it. The bottom line is control different thoughts that come to us.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Namaskkaram Miteshji,This is a simple feedback on the link suggested for Siddha Kunjika Stotra recital by Sri Maa.I have downloaded the recital as guided by you with a view to eliminate any doubts on pronounciation and "Paatha-bheda"..... While appreciating the piety and devotion of the rendering person -I found the pronounciations have diction problems-most likely it is a foreigner reciting Sankrita.I feel my objective remains unfulfilled.Request you and other seekers to guide to any good MP3 source for correct recitation of Siddha Kunjika Stotra.Humble regardsamit --- On Sun, 2/22/09, m540i98 <m540i98 wrote:m540i98 <m540i98Subject: Re: Question on Kunjika Stotra Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009, 3:29 PMNamasteKunjika Shotram is a very powerful one, why do homan of it, atleast I have never heard anybody doing it but I am very ignonart too, instead there is a Durga Sapta Slokas that may be more easier and lighter.Only one Shri agaram bagaram baba (I am sure my spellings are wrong) a disciple of swami muktananda has indicated that one can chant for 11 times daily and that is enough.He seemed to be very realized and lived near Nasik, someone has written his biography.Kunjika Shortram one recites to overcome any mistakes one may have done with reciting chandi paath. by the way one can listen kunjika shotram in beautiful voice of shree maa as followshttp://www.shreemaa.org/drupal/node/1546, on this page there is a link.Best RegardsMitesh , "rajarshi14"<rajarshi14 wrote:>> Namaste> > For someone who cannot speak sanskrit or is not even very fluent with > any of the Indian lnaguges, can such a person do a homa of the Kunjika > Stotra instead of the actual full Durgasaptasati.

Yes, you've made a really good point that a person can deside and follow what is the best method suited to him/her. it is futile to keep on arguing. One can say Naardiya Prescription (Naam Japa) is the best or Yoga Path or Homa or ... the most important is to start something and have a faith in the power of the ultimate reality. It'll guide and bring one to a right path suitable for oneself over a period of time. What makes one thoughtless (or with very less thoughts), what makes one internally happy and transforms internally for good. THAT is what is suitable path for one. I'll write about one intresting little point for Homa later today if possible.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Dear Amitji Namaste The voice is of Shree Maa, a very realized soul, who lived for a long period of time in the North east India, near Assam. She did a lot of penance in that north east region. She lives now in California, USA. She has done Chandi Paath for many thousands of time. She in her prevoius birth was born along with RamaKrishna Paramhans. Their books on poojas and chandi paath are one of the best, very methodical, correct, and a detailed process oriented. I like it very much. Good explaination and Translation in english. Their site have a lot of material on chandi paath and many doubts can be resolved by reading or searhing their site or even asking questions to her or swamiji too. They do respond via email. She has a bengali/assamese accent. I think all of us have an accent and it is ok. This is the only rendering I knew of, if others have better rendering please share.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Namaste, > Kunjika Shotram is a very powerful one, why do homan of it That is not a valid reason. Even a very powerful mantra can be offered in homam. On the Vedic side, Rudra namakam and Gayatri mantra are very very powerful mantras and they are offered in homam. On the Tantrik side, Pratyangira mantra, Mahasudarsana mantra, Paashupata mantra etc are very very powerful astra mantras and they are offered in homam. As these examples show, even very powerful mantras can be offered in fire for amplification. * * * The power of powerful mantras is a mirage for most people. The experience given by a mantra and the internal/external results brought by a mantra vary from mantra to mantra. But, even with a very powerful mantra, one needs to be ready for the mantra to actually work. When one is able to perfectly control the mind and *fill it* with a mantra (i.e. no thoughts but the mantra reverberating in the mind constantly), then one experiences the mantra. This perfect absorption of self-awareness in the mantra then causes internal changes by the flow of energy internally in specific ways (specific to the mantra) and that causes corresponding external changes in the universe and corresponding karmic interactions between various objects. There may be thousands of paths to climb a mountain. Each path takes one to a different spot atop the mountain. The view one has from the top may be different accordingly. One view may be more breathtaking and amazing than another. However, one taking a path leading to a breathtaking view and one taking a path leading to a normal view both have to struggle on their paths and reach the top despite obstacles. Some paths may be slightly shorter, but none is too easy. All paths are difficult to walk, but some result in a more breathtaking view than the others. Similarly, one chanting a "powerful mantra" and a "normal mantra" will both have to put in effort and overcome the weaknesses and get control over mind. The power of the powerful mantra refers to a more powerful experience after one succeeds with the mantra (more breathtaking scenery on reaching the mountain top). It is not correct to think that things will happen automatically and easily because one if chanting a powerful mantra 11 (or whatever) times. * * * Coming back to Rajarshi's question, I do not recommend homam with Kunjika stotra. Kunjika stotra is a coded stotra containing several mantras in coded form. It is not what it may seem to be. It is for a reason that Shiva tells Parvati that this prayer should be hidden like one's privates. It is weird that we are discussing such a secretive mantra on a public forum. It is a collection of powerful mantras for specific prayogas that would be considered raajasik/taamasik unless a realized soul without attachment to the actions is acting them out as an instrument of the Divine. I see no point in wanting to do homam with it. If you are meant to do a homam with Kunjika stotra to stop the army of a country in their tracks or kill someone or delude someone etc and if you are detached enough to carry it off successfully, then you will be given an opportunity by nature to learn it and do it. Otherwise, why even try? My advice is to drop the idea of doing a homam with Kunjika stotra. Just stick to saptashati (700 verses). If that is too long for you, try saptashloki (7 verses) or just the 4th chapter or just the 11th chapter. Another option is to do a homam with just the moola mantra (navaakshari). If one can pronounce the 8 verses of Devi sooktam well, a homam with Devi sooktam is a great idea too. * * * A few mails from the last couple of weeks are pending reply. I am aware of it and will try to catch up. I am very busy with various things right now. Please do not resend the mails. If I have something to say, I will send a reply in the next 10 days.

I think all of us have an accent and it is ok.This is the only rendering I knew of, if others have better rendering please share.Best RegardsMitesh, Amit Trivedi <sonat64 > wrote:>> Namaskkaram Miteshji,> This is a simple feedback on the link suggested for Siddha Kunjika Stotra recital by Sri Maa.> I have downloaded the recital as guided by you with a view to eliminate any doubts on pronounciation and "Paatha-bheda" ..... > While appreciating the piety and devotion of the rendering person -I found the pronounciations have diction problems-most likely it is a foreigner reciting Sankrita.> > I feel my objective remains unfulfilled.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Namaste RawalSaheb The website is www.shreemaa.org, Mother has an ashram in Napa Valley California, beautiful place, Strong Sattvic Vibrations, she is very down to earth, always joyful. The ashram is on a small hill. They also conduct online classes and you can view their ashram as they have webcams. She in this life considers Shri Ramakrishna Paramhans as her guru and had visions of him from a very early stage. Her biograpghy has many details. Her web site has all the information about the books. I consider the books from them a gold standard in presentation, quality and content. I use their books for all/any pooja I do like Satyanarayan vrath katha, Shiv Pooja, Laxmi Pooji, Chandi Paath, Hanuman Pooja etc. By the way Sant Shree Mota was a realized soul, I know very little of him, except that he was a great saint.
