1. Is it necessary to have a book while chanting Candi or Lalit sahasranma ? If so, any rules to be followed?

Yes,!it!is!mandatory!to!read!from!a!book!while!chanting!any!stotra,!slokas!or!prya#as!which!are!ml!mantras.!After!the!upade%a!of!a!mantra,!we!are!directed!t o!memorise!it!and chant it, till then we can look at a book for guidance. In case of mantras which have more than twenty syllables, it is mandatory, even though we have committed the same into!memory,!to!have!a!book,!while!chanting.!The!book!must!be!kept!on!a!seat!(vysa!pita), worshipped as the deity and with reverence, it should be opened for chanting. Holding in the hands is prohibited. Shaking head, feet or parts of body, or a musical style!chanting!too!is!prohibited.!After!chant!is!over,!again!perform!five!upacrs. (&r !Bhsakara!rya!in!his!commentary!of!Lalit!sahasranma!prays!to!devi! not!to!bless!a! devotee! who! doesnt! have! this! commentary! (book)! with! him.! See! the! importance!given to written matter by our elders). 2. Is it necessary to look out for rhu kla, "ukla prathama, Tuesday, Saturday in our daily activities? Are we not supposed to think all as these upsya deity?

The answer for this question depends of state of mind in! a! questioner! (sdhaka) - adhikri!bheda.!We!praise!Devi!as!ga#e%a!graha!nakatra!yogini!r%i!r"pi#i! Verily all are HER forms- time, place or people are HER manifestations. If an aspirant has this thought inherent in him, then these are to be overlooked, we need not even tell that, it will happen automatically, spontaneously to do an action with the firm belief that SHE is everywhere.! On! the! other! hand,! some! aspirants,! who! by! their! early! vsans! are! so!confused into following neither this identity with full conviction nor following rules said for ordinary people, it is preferred to follow all these normal rules as accepted by the society, till they have attained a state of mind which is completely turned towards the deity.! (kaulopaniat!says! ;!na! titet!niyamena;!niyamnna!moka - &r !Bhsakara! rya!expounds!that!it!is!not!a!general!rule,!this!is!for!a!siddha!(accomplished)!upsaka.!In!the!Kaula! pratitm! na! kuryt - he warns against forceful implementation of this idea of equity, saying that it should be from within, after total understanding, voluntary, else may lead to confusion and doubts leading an unqualified sadhaka to further deep ignorance.) 3. Is it right to have food before the navvaraa pja? I find that, being a long ritual, our hunger gets the better of us; in case of diabetics too it is not suggested to be on an empty stomach. You have said naimittika pja to be done in the night, so are we expected to be on an empty stomach till pja is over? All! ritual! books! on! royal! path! of!&r ! Vidy! are silent on this. We get a clue from one action!said!during!start!of!p"ja,!to!have!a!tmb"l.!Since!it!is!agains t!normal!tradition!to!
