Benefits:
- Shields against negative energies, black magic, and psychic attacks
- Strengthens inner resolve and spiritual clarity
- Enhances mantra siddhi and tantric sadhana
- Activates protective vibrations across body and aura
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
How to Use This Stotra/Namavali for Your Benefit
To truly receive the blessings of this Stotra there are two methods. The first method is that you begin by taking a sankalpa—a heartfelt vow or intention. Decide how many days you will commit to this practice: 7, 9, 11, 21, 40, or any number that feels spiritually aligned with your goal.
Your intention may be for:
- Financial stability
- A fulfilling job
- Peace and health
- The well-being of a loved one
- Spiritual growth
- Marriage
- Divine grace and protection
- Or any other goal/desire that you may have in mind
The desire should be genuine and positive, never rooted in harm or negativity.

Daily Recitation Commitment
Choose how many times you will recite the Stotra each day: 3, 5, 7, 11, 21 or more—based on your capacity and devotion. If you miss a day, your sadhana becomes compromised, and you must begin again from Day 1. This discipline strengthens your spiritual resolve.
Second Method: Bhakti Without Boundaries
The second method is that you may choose to chant this Stotra purely out of bhakti—without any time-bound commitments. In such cases, the heart becomes the altar, and sincerity becomes the offering.
Factors That Influence the Results
The fruits of your sadhana depend on:
- The number of daily recitations
- The total duration of your practice (number of days)
- The depth of your concentration and devotion
You can amplify the energy of your sadhana by observing certain spiritual disciplines (these are recommended but no mandatory):
- Avoiding non-vegetarian food
- Refraining from onion and garlic
- Sitting for recitation at the same time daily
- Abstaining from sensual indulgences or distractions
The more difficult and focused your practice, the more profound the blessings/results after its completion.
