Notes from our sources
Kamakhya Kavach during menstruation
Can a woman recite the Kamakhya Kavach while rajaswala? Yes, the speaker says — it is given on the channel under that very title, the kavach that protects even in ashuddhi; a rajaswala woman may recite it at any time. The manner: do not go to the puja place, do not light dhoop or deep, do not go where the devatas are; bathe, stand anywhere outside the puja place with folded hands, and recite it mentally — that is enough. No other paath may be done in that state.
Why might someone fall ill or get a fever after attending a wedding or party, and how can it be prevented?
Fever or sudden illness after a social gathering is attributed to the evil eye (Nazar) or a sensitive aura; women are advised to wear a Kamakhya Kavach on a red thread around the neck or arm, and to remove the evil eye upon returning home.
How can daughters and sisters be spiritually protected from predatory individuals?
Cultivate spiritual austerity (Tapobala) and have them regularly recite the Kamakhya Kavacham or fierce protective hymns — this establishes Goddess Kamakhya's living subtle presence within their subtle body, creating an impenetrable shield against malicious predators, provided moral integrity is maintained.
Which kavachs may women wear at all times?
Any mala or kavach in which there are only Kamakhya ji, Pratyangira ji, Aghor Kali and the like — those which are endowed with stri tattva, that is, with the ugra shaktis — you may always wear, he says. Those related to purusha tattva, of the Aghor swaroop, may be worn, but afterwards their shuddhikaran and so on should be done. And it will be proper that the women, however many mothers and sisters there are, should do japa of and wear the kavach of Bhagavati Kamakhya itself.
What are the rules for japa of the Kamakhya kavach during rajaswala?
Those endowed with the Dus Mahavidya, he says, then have no dosha of rajaswala and the rest. And in the state of rajaswala, if you do japa of the Kamakhya kavach without sitting at the puja sthan — you are not to go to the puja sthan, not to touch the puja sthan, no lamp and so on — keep another complete asan and the rest of your own, sit comfortably in sukhasan where you have no difficulty, and you may do japa of the Kamakhya kavach. It will give the most divine effect. But it is not to be done going to the puja sthan, or by touching the vigraha and lighting a lamp. As for the raksha mala: any other mala should be taken off at that time and worn again later after becoming pure; and even if it is worn, then at that time you will have to give it a dugdha snan.
When should Kamakhya Kavach and the amla prayoga be done on Diwali day?
Asked whether the sadhana of Kamakhya Kavach can be done on the day of Diwali and how the amla prayoga and the japa of the Kamakhya Kavach are to be done together on that day, the speaker says it is a matter of your own time — when and for how long you will do it. After the evening pujan and the rest is complete, the whole matter of siddhi at night — whichever kavach you are doing siddhi of, whichever mantra you are doing siddhi of — all of that you have to do in the nisha kaal, from ten o'clock, or from nine o'clock, until one or two o'clock at night.
Can the Kamakhya Kavach be done while in menses?
Asked whether the Kamakhya Kavach can be done, the speaker says it absolutely can. If one is in menses, then the vidhi of the Kamakhya Kavach will be remembered if you heard the live at the time of Durga Puja — that same vidhan will apply. The tantric matter behind it he says he explained there at considerable length, so listen to it once; it is a thing of great use.
What should a woman in menses do during these nights?
Whichever woman, whichever mother or sister, is becoming rajaswala at this time should, if she does nothing else, sit on her own bed, spread a red cloth, and keep red clothing to wear as well — entirely red. Become fully tantric, he says. Without going to the pujan sthan, sitting in her own place in that state, if the Kamakhya Kavach is committed to memory it is excellent: begin its repetition, and recite the mool kavach 108 times in the nisha kaal at night.
Should a woman worry about being unable to do the puja on Chaturdashi or Amavasya?
If you are in such a state on Chaturdashi especially, or in such a state on the Amavasya of Diwali, then do not keep this doubt in the mind and do not worry that you are unable to do puja; there is no difficulty. Someone or other in the house will do the pujan of all the devi-devatas. You have to do nothing: wear your red cloth and the rest, sit on your asan, and comfortably do 108 of the Kamakhya Kavach — and take it into your life.
Where must the rajaswala Kamakhya Kavach japa not be done?
The speaker says he himself says this: that mothers and sisters who do 108 of the Kamakhya Kavach in such a state, at the time of Durga Puja too, and according to the discipline of this niyam — it is not that one now sits at the pujan sthan and does it; there it would be a mess. The rule is exactly as it is. He says he too wants the grace and blessing of such women.
After Batuk Bhairav come the Panchakshari of Shiva, a stotra-satnam of Bhagavati and her kavach, and only then the Ekakshari.
After that, going further, let there be the Panchakshari of Bhagavan Shiva, the stotra-satnam of Bhagavati, her kavach — whether that be the Kubjika Kavach or the Kamakhya Kavach, or whatever other kavach connected with Bhagavati you perform. Only after performing sadhana this far along does the sadhana of the Ekakshari mantra come, where the shakti is, because we are the root beej.
What is the difference at Kamakhya itself?
This, the speaker says, is why we always say to perform the Kamakhya Kavach. If you are at Kamakhya ji, go — nobody will stop you there, and if some wicked person stops you there, say that this is wrong there. But in any other kshetra you cannot touch. There Jagadamba is in that original form of hers, in the form of creation, so the subject there is different; in any other kshetra, if you are touching and somebody is encouraging you, then that person is one who wishes only your destruction.
The Kamakhya Kavach is japped on the bed, with no asana, no vessel and no coloured cloth.
The greatest of all, in any state, is the Kamakhya Kavach — the best for mothers, the speaker says. The anushthan you were doing seated on your asan near Bhagavati's kalash, near Bhagavati, do that japa in the rajaswala state seated on your own bed. No vessel is needed, no implement is needed, no asana is needed, the colour of the cloth has no importance. Your body is fully energy-filled: remember Bhagavati Kamakhya and do japa of the Kavach.
In those days the Kamakhya Kavach is for japa alone and never for prayoga, and Bhagavati Kamakhya fulfils the desires.
Only japa. Sit on the bed and do your japa, at night or by day, and then see the fierceness of that Kavach. Do not do prayoga — only do japa, and she will fulfil the desires, being Bhagavati Kamakhya, the goddess of desires. You are not to flail about asking her to fulfil this desire of mine; you are only to keep doing the Kavach.
What should a rajaswala sadhika do if an enemy is working tantra against her?
If some enemy is after you and is contriving a great deal of tantra-mantra, and you become rajaswala in the time of Navratri — then simply sit on the bed and do your Kamakhya. That enemy will not even come to know; whatever he was, his whole tantra vidya will be left lying where it is. Be free of anxiety. Depend upon the shakti about whom this is being said; have faith in her, and in no one else.
What is the alum and black pepper bundle?
A small thing added to the Kamakhya Kavach for those days. Everyone knows what alum is: if a mother who performs sadhana is rajaswala, take a little black pepper and a little alum, tie them in a red cloth, and keep it beside you on the bed — beside the pillow, not under your head. When you do japa, simply take it in your hand, complete the japa, and put it back. A woman sitting to do sadhana for the first time in her life should not do this.
What kind of woman is this meant for?
The woman in this state, and especially a mother of auspicious thoughts, who does not keep wrong thoughts, who keeps the wish for the welfare of others, who does not keep malice. If such a sadhika has become rajaswala in the time of Navratri and is doing japa of the Kamakhya Kavach — a hundred and eight will comfortably happen in four days if she does a hundred and eight daily; and if she has nothing but time then, since nothing else is to be done, let her take her japa to a thousand, to eleven hundred, in those four days.
A hundred and eight paths of the Kamakhya Kavach are performed upon a lotus flower and offered on the main vigraha.
Let her go once to one of those three places and there, if possible, perform 108 paths of the Kamakhya Kavach upon a lotus flower, and have it offered upon the main vigraha. For such a Devi sadhika, the speaker says, that Kavach is then for her whole life — Kamakhya herself will be seated there and will do her grace. But the disposition must be as told before: generous by nature, not one who bears malice, not one who deceives; then it will not take her long to become Devi-swarupa, and vak siddhi is obtained very quickly in such a state.
Why only the Kamakhya Kavach among all these?
Although there are a great many things in this, the speaker says, we are proceeding only with the Bhagavati Kamakhya Kavach, because all of you can do that one. And for all of you, know this — that it is a brahmastra.
What is the procedure at Kamakhya itself?
Either offer it in Bhagavati Kamakhya's garbhagriha: wearing red cloth, seated on a red asan, sit near the Saubhagya Kund with your face towards the south, from where you can see Kamakhya ji's temple. Sitting there, do japa of the Kavach with a lotus flower in your hand. Wrap it in a red cloth and keep it; and if you can go into the garbhagriha that day, then go that same day and offer it — let it fall into the kund at the main peeth in the garbhagriha, let it simply go, and after that drink the water.
Which kavach comes before taking the Ekakshari?
The Kubjika Kavach or the Kamakhya Kavach: perform the anushthan of some one of these two up to at least eleven hundred, and after that bring the Ekakshari beej down into your life. When you obtain a guru, take its deeksha from them again; and if a guru is not obtained, no difficulty of any kind is going to come to you in this either — you will only increase further and further, on the sadhanatmak path as well as in material life.
Can hospital duty be done in Navratri where deaths occur?
A listener writes asking whether she can go to hospital duty in Navratri, where a patient's death occurs. She absolutely can go, the speaker answers — and tells her to perform the anushthan of the Kamakhya Kavach.
Can a woman recite the Lalita Sahasranama during her periods?
Apart from the kavach of Bhagavati Kamakhya, she cannot do any other thing at that time, nor should she — unless she has that diksha, which is a separate matter. And even the kavach should not be done on her own puja asana.
What should be done when the mind will not settle in puja?
He tells a listener whose Kamakhya kavach is producing swapna dosh not to do their main kavach in that way if they have not been able to obtain the kavach properly. To one whose mind does not settle in paath despite much effort, on account of Chandra, he says that on the day of Masik Shivratri a silver chandra should be offered upon Shiva ji with a sankalp: as soon as it becomes calm, the effect of uchchatan will lessen and the mind will settle in puja-paath.
When one kavach is already worn, a second is not needed — keep it only for the household, and only if means allow
That decision is the questioner's own. In the speaker's view a further Kavach is unnecessary when one is already being worn; it may be kept for the household or for the future if one is financially comfortable, otherwise there is no need.
Samputa is Prayoga, not Siddhi — the Yogini namavali and the Kamakhya kavach are recited separately during the eclipse
No Samput during the eclipse. Samputa makes it a Prayoga rather than a siddhi, and accomplishment or awakening is always done separately. Recite the Yogini namavali alone, or the Kamakhya Kavach alone; Samputa is for when you have a specific end in view.
Will reciting the Kamakhya kavach during the eclipse accomplish it?
Yes — the Kamakhya Kavach will certainly be accomplished, and the speaker tells the questioner to do it.
Can the Kamakhya kavach and the 64 Yogini kavach be worn together?
Yes, absolutely — the Kamakhya Kavach and the 64 Yogini kavach can be worn together.
A practitioner at Kamakhya itself should recite the Kamakhya kavach during the eclipse
If you are at Kamakhya itself, do the Kamakhya Kavach during the eclipse.
A divine experience is never to be made public — least of all one received in the Kamakhya region
The speaker declines to interpret it and instructs the listener not to disclose it. Such things should never be made public — least of all an experience received in the Kamakhya region.
A woman should leave the Vedic mantras aside and do as much japa as possible of the tantrokta or Sabar mantra of her own ishta.
The speaker says that besides this, since you are a woman, leaving aside the Vedic mantras, do as much japa as possible of the tantrokta mantra or the Sabar mantra of your own ishta, of your arahdya, or of their kavach — as an ordinary instance, the Shiv Raksha Kavach or Shiv Raksha Stotra, and the Kamakhya Kavach connected with Bhagavati. Do as much japa of all of them as you can.
Why should Sri Chakra and Kamakhya mantras not be taught openly?
Because whoever teaches them that way does not know whether the worship of the Sri Chakra or a Kamakhya mantra is to be told to anyone at all, or in what manner. The speaker says households have already been ruined by it, and others will be ruined imitating them.
What can be done for the protection of a pregnancy?
Three options, all consecrated by a Kavach you have accomplished — best of all the Kamakhya Kavach: a red thread with thirteen knots tied at the waist; a Gomti Chakra with red Gunja sealed in red cloth; or black papaya seeds gathered in Pushya Nakshatra and sealed in black.
Which kavach is not made impure by sutak and patak?
The Kamakhya Kavach, the speaker says: in no condition and in no manner does its effect lessen in sutak and patak, nor does it become impure. But if any man or woman ever wears this kavach and establishes a relation with another man or another woman, then a very great dosha attaches. Apart from that, it never becomes impure.
Where can the ten Mahavidyas be seen arranged in a physical place?
To Kamakhya. The speaker asks listeners who have been there, or who have seen the channel video on the geographical positions of the ten Mahavidyas across Kamakhya, and who recite the Kamakhya kavach, to relate all of it — and says that when study, sadhana, a clean mind and no dvesha or kuntha are carried together, many such secrets are revealed.
How does the popular Kamakhya kavach differ from the original one?
The speaker says the Kamakhya kavach current before everyone is only a fragment of the original kavach. The brihad kavach, read with the Shakti Peeth and with the presence of the ten Mahavidyas, should probably not be done just like that without a guru parampara, because it describes the fundamentally tantric form of Bhagavati in full.
How are the forms invoked inside the original Kamakhya kavach?
The speaker says each form is invoked by samput with the original beej mantras, asking that form to protect our own form. For instance Bhagavati Tripur Bhairavi is asked to protect from the direction of patal, from below — and she will not be there alone: her trikut mantra and shatkut mantra will be there with the beejakshar.
Which further shaktis stand with each form in the Kamakhya kavach?
After the beej samput, the speaker says, the chief shaktis of each form also stand there. When one goes into the fully tantric form, Bhagavati Chhinnamastika becomes Para Dakini and Bhagavati Tripur Bhairavi becomes Apara Dakini; with them two more root forms as Jaya and Vijaya are present, and samput is made with the beej mantras of their Rakini and Lakini, asking protection of these angas.
Is a daily practice of eleven Kamakhya kavach and eleven 64 Yogini namavali correct?
A listener says she recites the Kamakhya kavach eleven times daily and the 64 Yogini namavali eleven times, and burns two cloves and camphor, and asks whether this is right. It is very right, the speaker says. She is burning two cloves and camphor: on the Ashtami tithi and the Chaturdashi tithi, make it nine each on those two days, and on the remaining days keep it two each.
What is a shorter alternative to the Chandi kavach?
The alternative small kavach to the Chandi kavach is the Kubjika kavach, the speaker says, and the Kamakhya kavach.
Must a kavach be removed during grihastha relations?
Yes — apart from the Kamakhya kavach, which he says he has stated before, whatever other kavach you are wearing: if you are a householder and are to take your grihastha life forward with husband and wife together, then in such a state it should be removed, and after concluding, having become pure, it should be worn again. That is good, and your confidence too will remain. If you yourself perform the anushthan and the rest, to wear the kavach as a limb of the body and keep it on is better; otherwise its energy will not decay but will disturb you — the decay of energy being a different matter — and you will begin to be a little mentally disturbed.
May the Kamakhya kavach be recited during pregnancy?
Absolutely, he says — the path of the Kamakhya kavach can be done in pregnancy. This much is certain: when the fifth month is completed and the sixth begins, there is no need to go to the puja sthaan and no need to sit there. Sit on your bed, your bistar, on your bed wherever you are, and do the japa. She may even do japa while asleep; if it is by heart, let her keep doing japa, let the Kamakhya kavach keep running in the mind. There is no problem. Even at the time of labour pain, if awareness comes and it is running within, let the Kamakhya kavach keep running; let her keep doing it in any state, and at the time of the child's birth too. Bhagavati will grant a most divine child. There is no need to stop at any time.
A screenshot counted the recitations as a favour done to the deity
A screenshot was sent to him, he says, in which the name he does not recall but which was probably from some girl. She had written that she had recited the Kamakhya Kavach 1100 times, Maharaj, and her CA was not cleared — what benefit did she get from 1100 recitations of the Kamakhya Kavach? The person who had received it asked what to reply. The speaker said he answered that it is entirely right: she should go to Kamakhya and ask Kamakhya Mai herself that there is no strength in her kavach.
What is the greatest use of such a rudraksha in the house?
If it is large, then the greatest subject in it, he says, is this: if there is someone at home who does the japa of the Kamakhya Kavach — and he always says that every mother and sister of the house should do the japa of the Kamakhya Kavach — then offer it upon this. The divine effect will become many times more divine, because these become the very form of Shiva. So there is no dosha; there is nothing but benefit.
If 1250 mala is happening at all, the atma is alive
When the CA is not cleared, then exactly this happens that came in the message — that two purashcharans of 1100 of the Kamakhya Kavach were done and the CA was not cleared, he says. So brother, be free of anxiety: if you are managing this much, if 1250 is happening, then your atma is alive. Some kripa at least of Bhagavan will come about.
Which Kavach is best for these four days?
The Kamakhya Kavach — the most wondrous and most intense, holding the ten Mahavidya forms within itself, and excellent for everyone and for women in particular. These four days recite it in the largest quantity you can: increase your stamina past a hundred toward two hundred, morning and evening, and complete eleven hundred across the four days.
May a pregnant woman recite the Kamakhya Kavach?
She absolutely may — the Kamakhya Kavach can be recited in any condition, and it is not obligatory to go to the worship place to do it. But after the fourth or fifth month a pregnant woman should not go to the place of worship, and above all not where there is a Shivling.
What remedies help unmarried women with health issues and delayed marriage?
For health issues and delayed marriage, perform Purashcharana of the Jayanti Mangala Mantra or chant Kamakhya Kavach extensively — a single rosary dedicated to the Goddess can be used for either mantra, including the 32 Names.
Should Rudraksha and Kavach be removed during menstruation?
Women and girls must remove Rudraksha and general Kavach during menstruation due to energy imbalances — except Kamakhya Kavach and Kalika Kavach, which should be worn continuously without removal.
What are the three tasks prescribed for the Vaishakh Shukla fortnight?
First, hold one sadhana and do a purashcharan in it — the speaker suggests repeating the sadhana done through the whole month of Magh at the Mahakumbh, or doing a purashcharan of the Kamakhya Kavach. Second, deepdaan. Third, the arrangement of water.
If a jayanti falls mid-anushthan, should the main japa be changed?
No. Taking as his example a person doing a purashcharan of the Kamakhya Kavach at 108 daily — which over fifteen days comes to 1500 — the speaker says that if Bhagavati Pitambara's jayanti falls in the middle, the japa you must chiefly do remains the one you have been doing.
What is the agni utara, and what may be used for it?
Where this problem arises, the speaker says, if you have done a purashcharan of any mantra of Bhagavan Batuk Bhairav, or of the Kamrup Kamakhya kavach and the like, an agni utara should be done with those. In the agni utara camphor is placed on a kushmandi and lit, or a lemon is cut and it is lit on that, or it is lit on a coconut. It should be done continuously — agni utara means a jwalant, a living utara.
How should the Narasimha Kavach be begun for someone under tantric attack?
Asked how to begin the Narasimha Kavach from Narasimha Jayanti for a sister on whom tantric kriya has been done for a long time and whom no tantric has been able to set right, the speaker answers that if it is to be Bhagavan Narasimha, the Narasimha mala mantra is fiercer than the kavach. Do both: for one kavach, do the mala mantra five times. And for a sister's problem, the Kamakhya Kavach is best of all.
What is prescribed alongside the paath of the Kamakhya Kavach?
Have someone send Kamakhya ji's water, the speaker says, tell her to drink it daily on an empty stomach, and along with it tell her to do the paath of the Kamakhya Kavach. He says it is going to give an extremely wonderful effect.
What is the Kamakhya Kavach actually describing?
If you, especially all the mothers, recite the kavach of Bhagavati Kamakhya, then that kavach is in reality a description of this very pitha, the speaker says. The shakti whose presence is described there in a given direction is exactly that one.
The newly built paths at Kamakhya cause confusion, so the whole route is shown along with the directions given in the kavach
Everything is newly made now, so some confusion does arise, and other devatas are also seen along the way. It is this same path one must walk straight on, with the steps that have been built, and that is why the entire video is being posted, so that you are not confused. The speaker hopes it will not be broken until the corridor is built; until then go and take darshan by it, and after the corridor is built it will be Bhagavati's wish how and where darshan happens. He repeats the point about the kavach: whichever devi protects in the Agneya direction, whichever in the east, that pitha is present at exactly that place here.
What should stay fixed every Navratri?
In every Navratri one thing of yours should be fixed — that whatever else we do, we will certainly do at least a lakh and a quarter of the Ekakshari Beej japa; or at least eleven hundred recitations of the thirty-two Namavali, or thirty-two hundred; or certainly the Kamakhya Kavach; or ten thousand japa of the Jayanti Mangala. Never leave that one thing.
Which Rudraksha goes with a Chandika Yantra?
With Bhagavati Chandika, the nine-mukhi Chandika Rudraksha alone, if there is one, is plenty. Beyond that, if you wish to keep a Mandal or a Panchayatana, that is a separate matter.
How much purashcharana of the Kamakhya Kavach is prescribed?
Let Chandika be manifest within you at that time, he says. Do so much purashcharana of the Kamakhya Kavach, so much purashcharana, that the presence of the ten Mahavidyas which is in your body in a subtle form should be complete. On the day some mleccha stands with the intention of doing you harm, let Chandika manifest within you that same instant — let him tremble on seeing you, let him be stambhit on seeing you.
May a woman be given a thread abhimantrit with the Batuk Bhairav Brahma Kavach?
Asked whether women may be given a thread, abhimantrit with the Batuk Bhairav Brahma Kavach, to tie at the waist, the speaker says it is better to do it with the Kamakhya Kavach.
Which kavach can a pregnant woman recite for the protection of the child?
The whole subject connected with the garbha is on the channel, the speaker says — he will share it again, there are three videos. In them the whole vidhan is told, of what should be done in which month. It is a simple subject, not very extensive or intricate, because in it there is more rest from after the third month. So listen to that vidhan once. Subjects related to the Parvati Gita have also been placed in it. So do that — and catch hold of the Kamakhya Kavach.
On which day should a woman begin the worship of Ma Kamakhya?
For the pujan of Kamakhya Mai, do not think of any nakshatra, tithi or vidhi vidhan, the speaker says — if the wish arises today, get it begun from tonight. Before Ma Durga you can absolutely do it; there is no need of a chhaya chitra of Bhagavati Kamakhya in blood. The pujan of Ma Kamakhya, that is the japa of her kavach — whether you have to do it in the morning, at night, at noon or in the evening, whether sitting on the bed, whether you are sitting in a train and have to do it — whenever you have to do the japa of her kavach, do it. For her we always say this, and we say it to women too: even in the state of being rajaswala, lying on the bed or seated, remember her japa at least once, and the kavach if it has been committed to memory.
What are the rules for wearing a kavach?
He says: whenever you wear a kavach — any kavach at all, leaving aside the Kamakhya kavach — if you are husband and wife, then what rule will there be for them? You can wear the kavach daily. Being husband and wife, keep it worn. You can keep it worn even at the time of sleeping.
What is advised for the Kamakhya kavach?
He tells the listener Anita Shri: certainly do the avritti of the Bhagavati Kamakhya kavach again and again.
How can a family be protected from mohini vashikaran?
Asked how to protect the people of one's family from the mohini vashikaran much in vogue nowadays, he says: if you do even the normal morning and evening seva-puja daily, as much as is told, and you keep ten malas of your own sandhya, and you have done the purashcharan of any one kavach — do the Kamakhya kavach — then no vashikaran in the house will have any effect upon you.
Between the Kuldevi Kavach and the Kamakhya Kavach, which should be recited?
If you have the Kuldevi Kavach, then do that; the Kuldevi Kavach will be better, he answers.
What is the harm of doing Kamakhya sadhana without a guru?
The greatest harm, brother, he says, is that if you are doing sadhana even of the beej mantra of Kamakhya, or of the sabar of Kamakhya, of whichever you are doing — her yoginis will suck the blood of your body, brother. The condition will become such that you will not be able to stand before any woman. The reason behind it is that you will not know the full method — how the rodhan is to be done, what is to be done — and so difficulty will arise. Kamakhya sadhana without a guru is never to be done; Bhagavati Kamakhya is complete tantra. Her kavach paath and so on you can do, and you can sing her stuti, and by that alone her grace will be obtained — but if you go into sadhana, then it is a matter of difficulty.
Which Kamakhya stotra may be recited, apart from the kavach?
Asked which stotra of Kamakhya Mai should be recited apart from the kavach, the speaker answers that since he does not know whether the questioner is a woman or a man, the rule is: if you are a man, recite her other stotras only if you are married. Otherwise recite the kavach and nothing besides it.
Which kavach should a Bhagavati devotee who eats non-veg and drinks take up — Sabari or Kamakhya?
Asked by a listener who is a devotee of Bhagavati but eats non-veg and drinks alcohol whether to do the Sabari kavach or the Kamakhya kavach, the speaker says either may be done. As for a kavach to wear on the body, if one wears the Aghor kavachs — the Aghor Shiv kavach, the Aghor Kali kavach — that will work. He says to keep the Kamakhya kavach as the last option.
Should a woman against whom a Kamakhya prayoga was done recite the Kamakhya Kavach?
Yes — whoever did it is the one acting against Dharma. Recite the Kavach and grace will certainly come upon you; Bhagavati Kamakhya's Kavach carries the presence of all ten Mahavidyas. Be at ease and do it: your path of protection will be opened and your enemy will receive a fitting punishment.
How does a woman keep the Kamakhya Kavach through the monthly days?
This is why the speaker says anyone can do the Kamakhya Kavach. During the four or five days of Raj-darshan, without going to the place of worship, seated on her own bed, she may perform the japa — without any text or book, once she has learnt it by heart, and then repeat it.
Why should anyone who goes to Khatu Shyam do the Kamakhya Kavach?
Because Khatu Shyam, seen truly, was himself a sadhaka of Bhagavati Kamakhya — Barbarik ji — and was all that he was by her grace. So those who worship him or go for his Darshan should certainly do the Kamakhya Kavach.
With which name should the closing hundred and eight Ahutis be given?
Have a hundred and eight Ahutis offered with the Jayanti Mangala — that will cover everything.
Why a sadhana is kept secret: ten opinions rule out every kavach
The speaker says this is exactly why one is told to keep a sadhana secret: people make noise and take decisions from ten places. He acts out the chain — some baba said the Hanuman Chalisa gives results; someone else says the Chalisa can do nothing, 'we did it ten years, nothing happened, nothing will happen for you either'; the bajrang-baan should not be done because Hanuman ji gets angry; durga-kavach and Chandi Kavach must not be done because Bhairav ji gets bound in it, though it is the Devi herself who speaks of binding Bhairav; Kamakhya Kavach — 'Kamakhya is not worshipped at home, which fool told you to do it'; Bairi Nashan or Kalika Kavach — 'no, no, far too ugra a shakti'; Panchmukhi Hanuman Kavach — 'you would have to keep Brahmacharya and stay completely pure, not possible, how can we live without thinking wrongly about girls' — and so no kavach can be done at all. He calls that condition pitiable, lower than an animal: a person who cannot keep his mental state pure, cannot hold himself steady in one place, has no control over himself, and then casts aspersions on the devi-devatas. His closing charge: where you are protected and where you are not is a churning to hold within yourself — how you will guard against tantrik attack, which Kavach you will accomplish, with what vidhi and which rules, and who makes you negative, outsiders, insiders or you yourself; decide by self-churning, look within before blaming others, walk the path, and neither make others negative nor become negative yourself.
How is the Havan of the Kamakhya Kavach Anushthan done?
You may give Ahuti with Bhagavati Kamakhya's 108 mantras, with her 108 names, or with her nama-mantra — saying Shri Kamakhya Devyai swaha. If the 108-name Namavali cannot be found online, you may give all hundred and eight Ahutis with the single name alone.
What sadhana is prescribed against a tormenting senior?
Do not be anxious, the speaker says. If you find an alternative — something else besides the job, or another job — then switch, taking your decision according to your household circumstances. If there is no way, then bear it and carry on. And along with it take into your life these two things: the anushthan of the Kamakhya Kavach with the sankalp, and the Bhairav Hriday. Both are given on the channel and will take at most five minutes; make them siddh once by an anushthan and then use them daily. Failing that, the Aghor Baglamukhi Sabar mantra has also been given, and can be used when the difficulty is very great.
Can men do the Kamakhya Kavach?
The Kamakhya Kavach can absolutely be done — men, there is no difficulty, the speaker answers.
May the japa of Batuk Bhairav be done mentally?
Yes — mental japa of Bhairav ji, of Batuk Bhairav ji, may be done; and, he adds, the mental path of the Kamakhya kavach and the like may be done as well.
