requisite to chant siva kavacha

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

The 4th sloka of Siva Kavacha says that

 

dhyAnAvadhUtAkhila………shaDakSharanyAsasamAhitAtma shaivEna kuryAt

kavachEna rakShAm

 

which says that the parayana of siva kavacha should be done after taking the

initiation of “siva panchakshari mantraâ€. The nyasas bijas of panchakshari

are om, nam, mam, shim, vam, yam. The karanyasa and hridayAdi nyasas are

performed with these bijas after due initiation of Panchakshari and the kavacha

parayana is resumed.

 

If one has the Panchakshari Mantra, then one can independently take up the

parayana but the gurunatha should be informed prior to this.

 

Mantras, bijas, upadesas via public forums, through private emails are a

strict NO from my side. This is because personally I believe in the importance

of gurunatha and guru parampara. Without guru parampara, the vidya is of no use

(neither for iha nor for para) just like the vidya of Ekalavya of Mahabharata.

 

Moreover, if a stotra is picked from forums and mails, one must be competent

enough and learned in Sanskrit so as to check the printing devils. And hence,

my gurunatha used to give utmost importance to “learning of Sanskrit†or

“devabhashaâ€. Kanchi Mahaperiaval also used to give much importance in

learning of Sanskrit.

 

Some of the persons would quote the song “nahi nahi rakshati dukruNkaranEâ€

of Acharya Sankara saying that at this age is it required. I would say

“Yesâ€. Even at the age of 60, one can learn the Sanskrit and it is

required to independently understand some of the wonderful shastras, its

commentaries that are available in Sanskrit.

 

With regards,

sriram

The information is authentic wrt initiation thro' guru.I have a

thing to clarify.I have been initiated into Srividya[ Shodasi. Shall

I seek a guru to initiate me into shiva Kavacha? i am told with

shodasi initiation,the aspirant can take up any mantra.My guru has

attained Samadhi.
