<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Please read the Bahdimochana stotram, and more importantly Sri Durga APADH UDDHARASTAKAM. (From personal experience, this shloka is quite powerful, and when chanted in life-or-death situation, or in cases of severe fear and confusion.)

There is no ritual that goes with the shloka as it is often recited at times of great defficulties. It is like crying out for help from the depth of your heart. And thus, a cry for help does not require any vidhi. The only requirement for this shloka to have immense faith and devotion.

The devotee is in a Dhainya stithi (state of destitution) when he/she invokes Durga Devi to come to rescue. So, when this is recited, INEVITABLY, I feel melancholy well up within, and from the deep melancholy comes tears that wash her feet. But after the recitation, comes great sense of relief.

The only requirement for this is to remember the predicament (of Shri Acharya) and begging the Divine Mother to come to rescue. I am confident that She will intervene.

Sunder,
Can you translate (or point to a translation) this shloka?
Thx in advance.
