Kalika Kavacham Audio

Kalika Devi is the first Dasha MahaVidya. This Kavacham which requests protection from Kalika Devi is quite powerful and has a tantric base. It requests protection from all the enemies and requests Goddess Kalika Devi to essentially destroy enemies.

One must note however that the greatest enemies are within one’s own self. One should NOT use this shlokam to cause harm to anyone. Trying to cause harm to anyone will only backfire and destroy the person trying to cause harm. There is a great story in Markandeya Puranam to this effect. When the Devas were getting harmed by the asuras, they invoked Maha Kali to protect them from the asuras, so the Devas could continue their normal duty and Kalika Devi came to their rescue.

Kalika Devi will certainly help a devotee in spiritual advancement and get rid of hindrances along the way; that IS the purpose of this shlokam – to eliminate the inner asuras that come in the way of spiritual advancement.

Devi Matangi Kavacham Audio

Devi Matangi is the ninth Dasha Maha Vidya. Dasha Mahavidyas as you may know are the ten Great Wisdom Goddesses. Devi Matangi is the tantric form of Goddess Saraswati. Detailed Wikipedia article is found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matangi . I personally love Devi Matangi and kept reciting Matangi Kavacham just before my daughter’s Bharatha Natyam Arangetram, because Goddess Matangi is in charge of the arts. Needless to say, the arangetram was a phenomenal success.
