Guest guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 hi Latha I lke your idea of traslating parts of the body and than touching them as you go along chanting kavacha like doing nyasa. while i was reading kavach today i was trying to understand the words, during this i started to put devis name against the part she protects, i don't know if i'm correct , cos my sanskrit is not good, i would like to share this with everybody , and please correct me if i am wrong, MAA please forgive me for any mistake i made during this work, Jay maa.
