Other sadhanas
A deity's divine grace — the source of spontaneous spiritual experiences during sadhana, which can be withdrawn if the practitioner errs (e.g. by boasting of it) and must then be earned back through remedy.

If the only goal is Bhagavati's grace and surrender, is a fixed time still required?
No fixed time is required — Jagadamba is present every moment for one who is fully surrendered — though chanting between 4:00 and 5:00 AM after bathing is considered best.
What is the difference between Siddhi and Divine Grace (Devi Kripa)?
A Siddhi operates under binding rules and vows where a specific power responds to command and can be lost if broken or exposed, while Devi Kripa is indirect divine assistance that clears obstacles without binding oneself to any pact — far safer and more beneficial for a householder.
In what forms does Goddess Mother typically grant darshan to sincere sadhaks?
Practitioners who receive a divine vision of the Goddess most commonly see her as a young girl or an elderly woman — the elderly form being considered supreme since it represents the complete, most fierce stage of life — while a rare youthful form tends to appear only for sadhaks pursuing special Siddhis with heroic sentiment.
Why do divine experiences received during sadhana suddenly stop?
Divine experiences and signs received through a deity's grace stop occurring when the practitioner reveals or boasts about them to others, incurring a flaw with that deity.
