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.

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.

He receives the blessing of happiness, peace, health and wealth. He is the dearest of Goddess Parvati, the son of Lord Maheshwara. He is the leader of the Shiva Ganas and is called Ganapati. The first honour is always given to Lord Ganesha no matter who the pooja is dedicated to.

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

Regular chanting of the hymn will help you out of the troublesome situations too. You must surrender yourself completely to the almighty for the Kavacha to be effective. You must believe in your heart that each part of your body is an abode of Lord Ganesha.

Each action you perform is to please the Lord and each syllable you speak is to sing the glory of Lord Ganesha.

With this Kavacha, you can ask Lord Ganesha to protect each part of your body, yourself, your loved ones, property and assets and the very basis of your existence. One should recite the hymn for a minimum of 3 times a day for the hymn to be really effective. People also recite the hymns 12, 21, 30, 51, 108, 1008, 100008 times as per their choice.
