Mantra Siddhi :
It's important to understand what "Siddhi" means. Siddhi which means accomplishment may refer to different things based on context.
When a mantra sadhana is done for the fulfillment of specific sankalpa/vow taken, then accomplishment of that Sankalpa is considered the siddhi of the mantra.
When a mantra sadhana is done with a desire to attain the Shakti/power associated with that mantra/deity, then accomplishment of such power is considered as Siddhi.
But the real siddhi is when the mantra which is practiced will lead to the realization of the Deity, and when one finally merges with the deity. God realization is the ultimate siddhi of any mantra.
Well, there are no definite steps or levels to evaluate, if you are making spiritual progress, you will notice that, you will become more detached, less anger and you will feel contentment. If these are happening, then there is a definite progress.
As the Japa makes progress, ultimately a stage will come when Japa will become ajapa. That is, you will practice repetition of mantra spontaneously without any voluntary efforts. Then, the mantra will be playing in the background 24 X7. That can be considered as a major step in spiritual progress.
