sushil_kanoria Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hari Bol Sunanda Prabhu, Where ever you find the word "viniyog" while reciting the narsimha Kavach just drop the water on to the ground. Hare Krishna, Sushil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Can one person use more than one kawach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushil_kanoria Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hari Bol, Yep, there is no harm in wearing more than one kavach, I used to read radha as well as Sudarshan kavach couple of yrs back daily. I dont think so there is any harm in wearing more than one kavach. Hare Krishna, Sushil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hare_krishna Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Govindaram, you chant a lot of prayers. Where do yu get all the time? /images/graemlins/ooo.gif Do you have a moertie for each deity? Do you also worship them with the sixteen things or only chant? Just curious /images/graemlins/laugh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindaram Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hare Krishna Chanting the Maha-Mantra take most time, for some reason it varies from 1:45 - 2:15, the other chanting like Hanuman Chalisa/Narasimha Kavacha/Gita/Gauranga Names dosen't take that long, and I pray to picture 'diety' form, I offer Tulasi leaves and flowers/incense. I also recite some prays from a Morning Programmes book, all this is done by the grace of Sri Gauranga...Haribol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hare_krishna Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 That's very good of you. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif How late do you wake up? Do you all this before going to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govindaram Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hare Krishna I will have to wake up early, I can wake up 3:30am np, if I go to sleep early, otherwise its a big problem, also I've been known to wakeup at 10:00am /images/graemlins/blush.gif on some days but I always get all the prays done /images/graemlins/laugh.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hare_krishna Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Sometimes I can't wake up early and then I do some of my prayers in the evening twice. I try to make myself very tired at daytime and to abstain from food at after 19:00. If I can't do this then I can't sleep till very late.
