Shri Narayan Kavach in English

Narayan Kavach is found in the eighth chapter of the sixth Skanda of the Bhagavata Purana. It is a very well-known method to protect ourselves from visible and invisible enemies.

Story:
King Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, asks his guru, Sage Shuka, for a means to protect himself from his enemies. Sage Shuka then teaches him the Narayan Kavacham, originally given by Sage Vishwaroopa, the son of Tvashtha, to Indra. It is believed that the soul of the person who reads this Kavacha becomes extremely holy and that whoever reads it is protected by Lord Vishnu.

Process:
Verses 4-11 of this great hymn elaborate on the preparations we should make before reciting it.

Practice and Benefits:
One should learn Kavacham from learned scholars and chant it under their guidance. If that is not possible, then only the last four lines can be recited. Before starting the recitation, chant ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’ or ‘Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya’ twelve times.

The Narayan Kavach is an ancient and powerful prayer that connects us with the grace and protection of Lord Narayana. This hymn fulfills the special need for peace, strength, and protection in our lives.
