Vakratunda Ganesha Kavacham

Vakratunda Ganesha Kavacham offers protection to the devotees of Lord Ganesha. No matter how grave the troubles are, chanting on this will give you peace of mind.

By Subodini Menon

Kavacham translates to a protective armour. Vakratunda Ganesha Kavacham is a hymn that can be used to ask Lord Ganesha to take you into his protective cover.

It is said that there is no greater protection than that provided by the almighty. 'Jako Rakhe Saiyan, Maar Sake Na Koi' - so goes a popular saying. It means that the one who is taken care of by the almighty cannot be killed or harmed by anyone.

 Vakratunda Ganesha Kavacham

If you are protected by God, there is no one who can touch you. At the same time, if Gods are against you, there is no power in the world that can offer you protection against the plans of the almighty.

Lord Ganesha is one of the most popular Gods in the pantheon of Hindu Gods. Lord Ganesha, the elephant God, is perhaps one of the most powerful Gods there is. He is easy to please and he can be displeased just as easily.

He is more of a friend to his devotees who can share even the most innermost troubles with him. With the heart of a child, Lord Ganesha is often known to play pranks and conduct tests on his devotees. A true devotee who prays to Lord Ganesha is never disappointed.
