महत्त्व

The Durga Kavach (Shield of Durga) is one of the most powerful parts of the Durga Saptashati. It is traditionally recited before the main text to “arm” the devotee with divine protection. Each verse invokes the Goddess to protect a specific part of the body and a specific direction. Regular recitation during Navratri and daily worship provides a sense of complete spiritual armor.

लाभ

Provides divine protection for the entire body, removes fear and negativity, invokes the blessings of all nine forms of Durga, and shields from evil forces and obstacles.

अभ्यास

Recited daily before Durga Saptashati, especially during Navratri. Chant with devotion for complete divine protection.
