Daily Chanting of Durga Saptashloki (108 times) Ordained by Jagadguru Mahaswamiji

From time immemorial, in our sacred land, worship of the Divine Mother has been performed with steadfast devotion. Devas, Rishis, Avataras, scholars, poets, kings, and common people alike have offered their worship to the Mother and, by Her grace, attained their cherished desires. In the Mahabharata, at the very commencement of the Kurukshetra war, Bhagavan Sri Krishna Himself instructed Arjuna that in order to be victorious, he must first secure the blessings of the Divine Mother. Accordingly, Arjuna performed penance to Sri Durga Parameshwari and received the boon of victory from the Jaganmata.

Jagadguru Adi Shankarabhagavatpadacharya, besides composing many wondrous hymns in praise of the Divine Mother, consecrated Sri Sharadamba as the presiding Deity of the Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham, established for the eternal propagation of Dharma.

Every year, with deep devotion and grandeur, the entire Sanatana community celebrates the sacred festival of Sri Sharada Sharannavaratri and offers worship to the Mother.

In the present times, when our State, Nation, Society, and Dharma are facing numerous challenges, and when devotees too are beset with personal difficulties, Jagadguru Mahaswamiji, with the resolve that all such afflictions be removed and that devotees attain the highest well-being in every respect, has ordained that during this year’s Navaratri Mahotsava—from Padya (22-09-2025) to Vijayadashami (02-10-2025)— all Astikas should daily chant at least 108 repetitions of the Durga Saptashloki. This sacred hymn of seven verses, drawn from the Markandeya Purana and embodying the essence of the supremely glorious Durga Saptashati, is assured to dispel all calamities and usher in all auspiciousness.

Therefore, all devotees are earnestly urged to participate in this observance and be blessed by performing the daily recitation as instructed.

For the benefit of devotees, the chanting of these verses in the divine voice of Jagadguru Mahaswamiji is being made available, along with texts in multiple languages, to guide and support daily recitation.

• Jagadguru Shankaracharya Sri Sri Vidhushekhara Bharati Sannidhanam has compassionately blessed everyone with the Upadesha of Durga Saptashloki, chanted in a slow pace for the benefit of new learners. Download/Listen and perform the Parayana as ordained: Audio Link
