RE: [SJC: Varahamihira] More Mantra-Query-Sarbani

January 6, 2003

Dear Kasturi,

Please read Ashtamadhyaya from Book Six of the Srimad Bhagavatam. After the two

opening lines, read the 8 lines in Vishvarupa Uvacha, where the Kavach is

described and the three mantras written. These three mantras are to be done

along with the nyasa and protects the body and mind...this is the Kazakh. After

that one should recite the prayer. Perhaps its the prayer that you are aware of

and not the complete Kavach itself. If you have Itranslator, I can write it out

for you and send it to you.

Regards,

Sarbani

Kerala by the name of Anjam Sri Krishnan Nambudiri, hailing from a great

parampara and who is a renowned exponent of Bhagavatha Sapthaham who also

conducts Bhagavatha Sapthaham at Sree Krishna Temple, Guruvayur. His Guru was

his elder brother, Late Anjam Sri Madhavan Nambudiri who was known as "Nama

Acharyan" as he always recited "Om Namo Narayanaya" and always advised

everybody to recite it. You may have heard of these great scholars because of

their Sapthahams conducted all over India for several decades now.Thanks to

Here is the Kavach and the prayer. I have zipped the doc file and the necessary

fonts also. Devanagari is missing but transliteration with diacritics is there.

I hope it is readable for you.
