Durga Shodashopachara Puja Mantra Audio

At the request of Sri Vishnu from California, here is the Sri Durga Shodashopachara Pooja Mantras in Audio Form. This involves offering of several services to Sri Durga Devi. Since Navaratri 2017 is almost here, for those devotees that want to perform this Puja, the audio is in the form of repeat after format, giving some time in between for the listener to repeat the mantras with the proper pronunciation.

If one has all the offerings physically available, they can be physically offered with the mantras; if unavailable, one can do a “Maanasik Pooja”, wherein one mentally imagines offering the highest quality of each offering while repeating the mantras in the mind; in this case replace the word “Samarpayaami” with “Kalpayaami” everywhere.

In either case, one needs to sit down quietly and make the offerings. The whole procedure takes a little under 17 minutes when done mentally. While this puja can be done at any time of the year, it is special when done during Navaratri. The procedure has been taken from drikpanchang.com after removing some errors present there and adding the Visarjana at the end. Link to the English version of the lyrics including description of each item is given at the end.

This is a short hymn. 15 MB

And now the audio: 16 minutes 29 seconds long.
