Thanks very much, that Narasimha link had it all, Haribol!

[gHari]

It would be wise to do a SAVE AS on that page since I just threw it together for this thread. If I change ISPs in the future it would disappear.

 

If you cannot save it, I will put it on the Kingdom site for posterity. I should do that anyway.

[Pankaja_Dasa]

 

 

Ghari Prabhuj..

 

By the way why is TEXT 11 missing????

[Guest guest]

could someone please tell me if the narasimha kavacha is on a cd which i can purchase

[Shyamkiji]

Dear prabhu, it is amazing that western people do not pay much attantion to the correct pronunciaton of each letter in the vedic songs. Find another version of the same kavacha here and it will be the different one, but also with distortion. Where did you see any sound (z) in the original kavacha. I tryed to listen to vedic himns performed by english speaking people and my ears began to cry out of sorrow. And among western gurus i have found only one who gives the nectar to devotees' ears: Shrila Niranjana Swami. His articulation is correct. Sorry me for my notes.

[Shyamkiji]

The 11th is not missing, he simly wrote 12 instead of 11. But there is one word missing (6)
