                Sri Harinama & Nrsimha Kavaca

                Sri Harinama & Nrsimha Kavaca

                Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das

                After the fiendish, ghost-like witch named Putana Raksasi attacked her six-day old baby Gopala Krishna, Yasoda Mata and other elderly Vraja gopis chanted the following mantras mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam:

                bhūta-preta-piśācāś ca / yakṣa-rakṣo-vināyakāḥ
                unmādā ye hy apasmārā / deha-prāṇendriya-druhaḥ
                svapna-dṛṣṭā mahotpātā / vṛddhā bāla-grahāś ca ye
                sarve naśyantu te viṣṇor / nāma-grahaṇa

                “The various subtle, invisible, evil beings (aka ghosts, hobgoblins) like bhutas, pretas, pisacas, yaksas, rakshasa and vinakayas, who especially prey on children (balak/arbhak), by troubling their bodies and causing loss of memory, madness and bad dreams, ARE ALL DESTROYED BY CHANTING VISNU/KRISHNA NAMA! (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.6.28-29)

                Srila Prabhupada on Wearing Kavacas

                Srila Prabhupada: “Dear Jayapatka! Regarding the Narayana Kavaca mantra, the HARE KRISHNA MANTRA IS EVERYTHING! (SPLetter 76-12-04)

                Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
                Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

                This article about the absolute and unlimited power of Sri Krishna Harinama to remove and destroy all types of negative vibrations, situations, environments, people, ghosts and mental monsters will conclude with a conversation between the author and his wisdom teacher.

                Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das: Should adult devotees wear Nrsimha Kavacas for protection, auspiciousness, or any other purpose?

                Wisdom Teacher: No, there is no need! Krishna Nama will do all things. Although there is no difference in tattva between Sri Krishna and Sri Nrsimha, Hari Nama alone is enough. Devotees should just chant the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, having full faith in Bhagavan Sri Krishna.

                Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das: But what about babies and young children who are often harassed by subtle entities? What can parents do to protect them, since small children are not yet able to chant Hare Krishna on japa mala?

                Wisdom Teacher: Still Hare Krishna maha-mantra is enough! Just follow the example of Yasoda Mata, who took exclusive shelter of Hari Nama. For small babies and children, who can’t chant Hare Krishna, then parents CAN USE A KAVACA containing the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and Yasoda’s prayer (Srimad Bhagavatam 10.6.22-29) written on a piece of paper.

                Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das: Then when the children can chant Harinama-japa, what should they do?

                Wisdom Teacher: The parents should remove the kavaca, and respectfully offer it into a sacred river like Ganga or Yamunaji.

                Exclusive shelter in Krishna ki jai! Hare Krishna maha-mantra ki jai!

                Jai Jai Sri Radhe!
