Ganesha Kavacham
A Kavach is the armour that a soldier wears for protection. Ganesha kavacham is also known as the Ganapathi Kavacham, Vinayakar Kavacham or Vinayaka Kavacham. The Ganesha Kavacham asks Lord Ganesha
to act like a shield or armour and keep away the evils of the world. It
is a devotional song that is sung to praise the Lord and his
exceptional powers. When one recites this prayer they ask Lord Ganesha
to protect them and also to remove all obstacles from their path so that
they may have success and prosperity. Lord Ganesha is known to be the
supreme symbol of wisdom, prosperity and success and when one recites this prayer and remembers Lord Ganesha with
a mind clear of all negativity, Ganesha is said to be appeased and
showers his unconditional love upon his followers. The extent to which
the mantra
shall help you depends totally on the strength of faith. It is through
absolute faith and conviction that one can get the maximum benefits.
The Ganesha Kavacham recital explicitly requests Lord
Ganesha to protect the body, home, assets and overall existence. The
chant is for both one’s-self and one’s loved-ones. And since it is a
chant, it is available in many languages. The main ones are English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati, Oriya and Bengali.
In Ganesha Kavacham Lord Ganesha is asked to
protect each and every body part ranging from eyes, forehead, skin,
tongue, ears, nose, face, speech, smile, heart, legs, fingers, arms
nails, etc. Ganesha is asked to protect from all directions namely
north, south, east and west. He also askedto protect all loved ones,
wealth, property, intellect and spiritual life.
Ganesha Kavacham Salutations to the Lord
Let the ever pleasing remover of obstacles protect my head,
Let the God who is as great as the sea protect my eyes,
Let he who killed the elephant asura protect my hair,
And let the leader of Shiva’s army protect my eyes.
