For the Love of Yoga with Nish the Fish

Goddess Mantras for Protection

Nishanth Selvalingam Season 8 Episode 62

This is perhaps the most new-agey title we've ever given for any of our videos but bear with me! It's appropriate, I promise! 

In this lecture, we explore the exciting world of Kavaca (spiritual armor), devices or mantras which serve an apotropaic (protective) function. We say a few things about physical kavacas that can be worn and which are often made out of specific metals, stones and yantras before introducing three forms of "mantra-kavaca", mantra-armors you can start using immediately to protect yourself from all harm whether physical, psychical or spiritual! 

Finally, I make a comparison between the Devi Kavaca from the Chandi and the Old Irish prayer "St. Patrick's Breastplate" to introduce some Kavacas in the Christian mystical tradition also!

May you be safe and protected always! 

Jai Mā!
