whats the difference between stotras and kavachs of deities and ther

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sir,

 

The literal meaning of kavacha is a protective cover/shield. Kavachas of planets

and gods are typically used for physical well-being, protection and removal of

disease. If you follow the meanings of most kavachas, you are asking the planet

or god in question for the protection of various body parts.

 

Two very powerful and comprehensive kavachas are Narayana kavacham from

SrimadBhagavatam and Chandi Kavacham from Varaha Puranam.

 

It is a useful exercise to compare Vishnu kavacham with Narayana kavacham to

understand the difference between Vishnu and Narayana.

 

If someone picks any kavacham and spends a couple of hours everyday chanting it

many times over and keeps that habit for a few years, an invisible shield is

formed around one's subtle body and protects one always. Kavachas are very

powerful.

 

But some people these days have little time to devote to God and want results in

5-10 minutes. That is tough.

 

That is my quick 2 cents and I hope other learned scholars give more detailed

and comprehensive answers.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Namaste Guruji,

 

I am not learned as you are. A thought came to my mind, Skanda

Shashti kavacham (tamil) and Durga kavach (Sanskrit) which I normally

recite on tuesday/fridays have meanings of protection from disease

and body parts as you have mentioned and also protection from evil

spirits, chandalas, bhoot-pret

Dear Su

 

God Bless U

 

Chanting of Mantra needs ingredients of your willingness to get success towards

goal Like Arjuna did in to hit the arrow on the spot of Fish eye after even all

the hurdles on his path yet succeed. If you have doubt on your success you will

loose concentration of chanting of Mantra automatically.

[vedic astrology] Re: whats the difference between stotras and kavachs

of deities and ther

 

Dear Narasimhaji

 

Pls indulge my simple question. Lately I've been listening to Guru

Kavach and Skandha Shasti Kavach. But Ive been wondering if just

chanting the mantra for one's chosen diety (at all times the mind is

free) also form a protective shield? Is it necessary to chant a

separate kavach?

 

thank you

su

Namaskaar Narasimha Ji,

 

I have been trying to understand the role of worshiping a deity with

Kavaca and the type of protection it offers to the individual. My

interest lies particularly in Sriman Narayana Kavaca.

 

After reading the transliteration of Sriman Narayana Kavaca here (*), I

am not very clear as to whether the protection offered is at the

physical level or also at the level of consciousness. In other words,

does it render protection to body, mind, and soul? Or does it protect

just the physical existence i.e. the body?

 

I know my question sounds very ignorant (and I am ignorant), but kindly

do offer your understanding of the effects of Kavaca especially Sriman

Narayana Kavaca.

 

May Sri Vishnu bless us all,

Reema.
