Dear All,
I have been enjoying "immersing" myself in this one section. The
night of the first day that I chanted it I was blessed with a
beautiful dream with Shree Maa and Swamiji--such a gift! I love
Verse 8: "When She is remembered with devotion, all opposition ends
and immediately prosperity begins. For those who remember Her, the
Supreme Goddess protects them without a doubt". The most important
thing to do is remember Her, just remember! so great.
Love to All,
Lynne

Subject: [Devi_Mandir] Kavach
How are we all doing on the Kavach ....Here is one word that is
repeated over and over again and that word is "raksha" which means
"protection". Of course it comes with different case endings in
Sanskrit - raksha, rakshen, rakshed, rakshech etc... If anyone is
familiar with the case endings for Raksha , it will be great if you
can share with us.Well, I am chanting the Kavach as part of this
group sankalpa. I was thinking that we should each measure our own
progress with our own yardsticks . And I would love to know what each
of you hope to get out of the one week per chapterFor me, personally,
it is1) Chant the chapter atleast once a day2) Memorize ATLEAST one
verse from the chapter. So at the end of the week, if I am asked what
I got out of the Kavach - I can say ..."oh I know this verse ..."3)
Learn as much of the vocabulary of the Kavach as possible . It is
particularly suited to knowing the parts of the body in sanskrit .
For example - Chibukum means chin, bahu means arms etc ...4) And
personally very ambitious - to get to write atleast one of the verses
in sanskrit .What do you hope to get out of the week of Kavach ?
Please do share with the forum.
