Narayana Kavacham literally means the armour of Lord Narayana, a form of Lord Vishnu. 'Nara' refers to all humans or all living entities for that matter and 'ayana' means progress. So, the progress of all living beings back to their origin i.e. Narayana is considered to be the purpose of life. Due to the elevated awareness and the ability to distinguish truth from non-truth, or the eternality (atma) from matter, human beings especially, have the opportunity to return to Vaikunta Narayana's abode.
Narayana Kavacham is a protective mantra that appears in chapter eight of sixth Skanda of Bhagavada Purana. It is dedicated to Lord Narayana, the lord of cosmic consciousness. It is said that the mantra serves two purposes. 1) To save mankind from difficulties and self-proposed limitations and 2) for that ultimate purpose in life which is liberation.
Vedic texts say that the soul of man who experiences Narayana Kavacham – even if he’s a sinner – becomes extremely holy and that anyone who reads the Kavacham would be protected by the lord in his various avatars, by his various weapons and also by his sub-ordinates. Before reading the book, one should follow austere measures of cleaning the mind and body, according to Shloka 4-11 of the holy verses of Narayana Kavacham. There are 24 shlokas in all in this divine shield that invokes Lord Vishnu and his many incarnations.
The Narayana Kavacham acts as a protective shield to those befallen with misfortunes, oppression, tension, diseases, panic/alarm, negative influences of the planet or any other social impacts etc. The mantras of Narayana Kavacham are so powerful that all elements will bow down before the person who chants the mantras. It calls upon all forms of Lord Vishnu to protect the devotee from sinful enemies, evil spirits and severe diseases. It pleads with the lord to protect him from offenses of not paying obeisance to murtis (idols) in temples, shortcomings of service and bondage of karmas. It grants protection while a person is travelling, negative thoughts and deeds and dangerous places. In fact, the Narayana Kavacham Homam protects you from all directions.
Narayana Kavacham Homam will be performed on Papmochani Ekadashi. It’s the last Ekadashi of the Vedic year which appears between the festival of Holi and Chaitra Navaratri. As the name refers, it’s an auspicious day to absolve sins, seek blessings of Lord Vishnu and attain moksha.
Narayana Kavacham Homam is performed to invoke the Lord Narayana for protection against all types of evil and enemies. Three powerful mantras should be chanted before embarking on the Narayana Kavacham Homam.
"Om Namo Naraayanaya"
"Om Namo Bhagvathey Vaasudevaaya"
"Om Vishnuve Namah"
The Narayana Kavacham is a solution for people suffering from misfortune, diseases, oppression, obsessions, tension and negative impact of social and planetary influences.
The Narayana Kavacham Homam gives immense protection against all negative influences like dangerous animals, forests, battle, during journeys, etc. It saves from 33 sins, from violence, vileness and enemies. The mantra asks for saving a person from evil spirits, Yakshas, Rakshasa, bad influence of Grahas especially Jupiter or Guru, Bhutas and Yakshis or female vampires. A person gets invincible powers from Sriman Narayana himself. The mantras of Narayana Kavacham were given to Lord Indra by the supreme deity while in battle with the mighty demon Vritrasura. Just as Lord Indra became invincible, the Narayana Kavacham gives the devotee the power of invincibility, abundant success, wealth and prosperity. The ritual illumines the indriyas, intellect and prana. The homa not only fetches blessings of Lord Vishnu but also protects the family against pitfalls of life.
