Those who are not initiated can also do nyasas.

Thank you Dr. I have heard a lot about you. You can visit this site and look for Indian editions.

Lalita Sahasranama or for that matter, any such verses will fulfill our desires, subject to our karmic account. Nothing can override our karmic accounts.

But it is stated that Mother Lalitha burns up our bad karma by worshiping her by way of reciting shahasranama japa and other good karma. So how can you say nothing can override bad karma?

She can do all things via grace. Grace by definition is a blessing which hasn't been earned via good works. Our Divine Mother can help us with our karmas in various ways. Creation was made for Her enjoyment, not the other way around. One way a karma can be burned up by grace is through dreams. Instead of receiving the results of our karmas in a waking state we receive them in a dream state. The other way I've experienced Her grace is where She delays the karma until I'm in a situation where I'm more able to receive the karma in good faith, rather than being destabilized by such activities. Grace is a gift, it is not earned. So please cultivate love and devotion towards Mahadevi and trust Her. Karmas are paper tigers to the faithful. Jai Ambe Jai Gurudev ????

Namaste Stephen ji. If it is possible, could you say a bit more about karmas being resolved in dreams? This is the first time I’m hearing of such a thing and I’m very curious. Intuitively, just now, it feels truthful and plausible, but I would really like to understand more of the mechanisms.

One of my close friends, a life long bhakta of Divine Mother, went to a clairvoyant nadi reader and he was informed he’d soon be in the back of a police car, because of karmas that had become ripe/prarabdha(?) karma. This came as a big shock to this mechanical engineer & upstanding husband and father of four. It was such an outlandish prediction that my friend doubted it but it troubled him a lot because this reader has a very good reputation. A month or so later, my friend arrived on a small plane and forgot his luggage on the tarmac. By the time he realized it, he had already gone through the airport and had to ask for assistance accessing the tarmac. A police officer was called to help and he offered to drive my friend back, but he’d have to sit in the back of the cruiser due to regulations. This was, I think, grace of divine mother for this pious, humble, helpful soul. This example may show one of the most pleasing and easily attainable benefits of loving the Divine and seeing her everywhere, which is to say, one’s “bad” karmas can be encountered and experienced with a soft touch. Although the laws of karma are as fundamental as the force holding nucleons together or causing mass to bend space time, Divine Mother really is our loving mother, and she is verily us, so if we stay aware of this and act accordingly, she will hold us very close as we go through our incurred lessons ❤️

There cannot be any oneliner for Lalita Sahasranama. All the 1000 nāmā-s are to be chanted. However, you can chant ॐ ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं ललिताम्बिकायै नमः॥om aiṁ hrīṁ śrīṁ lalitāmbikāyai namaḥ ||, which is in now equivalent to Lalita Sahasranama. There is no short cut to attain Her Grace. 

For both Bala and Mahashodashi, ऐं बीजं। सौः शक्तिः। क्लीं कीलकम्॥aiṁ bījaṁ | sauḥ śaktiḥ | klīṁ kīlakam || is correct. 

Yes, by worshipping Her, She makes us to perform good karmas. Law of karma is the ultimate.
