One question is that are these Kavacha's safe to chant as they have wordings like maaraya (i suppose it means killing the enemy) , kshobhaya means agitate the enemy etc.
June 09, 2018 05:46 PM
They are surely safe, as the purpose is to destroy the enemies who obstruct spiritual path such as ego, desire, attachment, etc, the factors of maya.

Im from srilanka please help me to recite this sacred kavacha
June 08, 2020 10:38 PM
We do not have an audio for this kavaca, but you may copy the content and translate into Sinhalese or Tamil or any other language that may help you with the recitation. We can request our volunteers to record on youtube and once uploaded, the link will be updated in the article.
June 14, 2018 03:02 PM
Dear Sir, is this anyway related with Maa Baglamukhi maha vidhya of 10Maha vidhya?
June 14, 2018 06:29 PM
As the name itself suggests, The Kavacham belongs to Shri Bagalamukhi/Vagalamukhi and also simultaneously falls in the Shri Pratyangira devi category. Those who are initiated into either of these mahavidyas, may recite the kavacham. Shri Pratyangira is Atharvana Bhadrakali.
August 14, 2018 02:25 PM
Guys/Readers must remember, if u start this sadhna never stop it, if u stop it devi will gone and never come again though you perform again with full dedication.I had experience of it. Its the most powerful in the world of tantra.
November 26, 2018 11:15 AM
Vijeetji, my experience is a totally different. I did a Sadhana from 1992 till 2003. I then moved to a different Sadhana. 9 years after that I did the old Sadhana again with intensity. On 3rd or 4th day, mother blessed me with an experience which was many times beautiful than what I experienced before. If there is a talk like what you are suggesting in Tantra world - it probably is because, some are trying to project human emotions onto deity. I have heard many learned folks saying "Devatas are Mantra-Baddha". Vijeetji - I would love to know if there is a Shastra Pramana for your assertion.
November 29, 2018 12:14 AM
Hello Swati Ji, You seem quite learned. I just started puja 4 months ago. My guru ji is Ravi ji from here. But I was wondering what did you mean by "Mantra-Baddha"
November 29, 2018 10:36 AM
"Mantra baddha" in Sanskrit means - bound to the mantra. It is said that deities are bound to their mantras. In tantra, the deity, mantra, yantra are all one and the same, meaning they are all representations of the deity. The devotee aspires to become one with the deity, through devotion and worship of the mantra and yantra of the associated deity and also all the stipulated rituals and procedures, which together are called tantra.
November 30, 2018 10:53 PM
as Krishnaji mentioned - 'mantra-baddha' means bound by mantra. deities are bound by mantra to respond when we do mantra sadhana. When we strike a match, fire manifests. similarly when we recite mantra, deity manifests. We might not perceive that at the beginning or the changes happening within us. In fact mantra is a sound form of deity.
December 22, 2018 01:04 PM
Dear Swati, It depends upon type of mantra which we recite. I am talking about this mantra that if devi is there (u will feel definitely that she is there) and in mid u stop the mantra and she went then she will never come back. Are you talking about this mantra from 1992 till 2003
December 23, 2018 12:18 PM
Vijeetji, one person’s experience cannot be generalized for all. When one is doing sadhana there are multiple variables specific to that person that are at play which determine success or lack thereof. Also our minds can play truant with us. That’s why it is said to depend on Shastra and Rrishi Vakya as pramana with guru being the final authority to determine what's happening with us. My experience I spoke about is NOT with this kavacha.
December 24, 2018 11:40 AM
Swati ji, I have experience of many mantras when i left chanting siddhi was gone. in case of mala mantras siddhi can be again gained but in case of some mantras and all kavachas if u stopped it u will never gain that siddhi again. u can try this. read some kavach and when u feel that now effect is there then stop it to chant and read it after 1 week , I'm sure siddhi would be gone.
December 25, 2018 12:12 PM
Thanks Vijeetji for sharing your experience. What you say flies in the face of my conception of mantra shastra. However, I am open to learn from your experience. Can you please elaborate a bit more on the following: How long did you do the sadhana of this kavacha before you felt mother’s presence. How many times did you recite a day? Why did you recite?(protection from whom/what?) and did you get the protection?. After how many days did you stop the sadhana? Which other mantras work only one time? Why do you think is the reason why this Kavacha works only once? thx.
December 25, 2018 12:45 PM
This is the last mantra in world of tantra, if u r in great danger blackmagic, enemies etc, recite this armour more in number u chant u will get quick result. but use it as always last hope. i am a victim of server black magic and enemies thats y i chanted but i didn't know that this mantra acts as a nuclear bomb after that i was afraid and stopped it but it was my great mistake, i am very sad now no mantra is as powerful as this one. this is basically mantra of battle..
December 26, 2018 04:34 PM
Thanks. Did you get the protection? What happened to your enemies?
December 27, 2018 12:53 PM
You cannot even imagine about situation of ur enemies. but make sure that u r on the right path. If mother goddess find that u r a wrong person who wnats to destroy his enemies just for your selfishness i dont know what she will do with u.
December 20, 2019 05:04 PM
whoever gets guidence and benefits from my comments if get success in this kavach pls pray goddess to help me, pls ..i am a great devotee of her and need her presence in my life.. i will be a grateful to you..Pls request mother to help me.
December 21, 2019 01:51 PM
May Mother Goddess bless you with her constant & uninterrupted presence in your life. Shri Matre Namaha
December 23, 2019 12:26 PM
Hi swati, after reading this kavach pls pray directly to goddess for helping me via taking my name.
June 07, 2020 10:16 AM
Please guide me to chant
July 04, 2019 09:05 PM
From the bagala pratyangirah kavach, Is it pronounced as samhaarini or sanghaarini. I am confused with the pronounciation. Your help is kindly appreciated.
July 06, 2019 08:37 AM
The pronunciation is "sam-haa-riNI". The word in Sanskrit mean the Destroyer/Annihilator.
January 22, 2020 02:00 PM
Any god/goddess will protect you - if you are are a sincere devotee. However, If you are 1)in gravest danger needing highest protection and 2)qualified sadhaka(with sufficient sadhana balam) then Sri Siddeswarananda Bharati reccomends the Sri Pratyangira Sooktam from Pippalaada Shaaka of Atharvana Veda. Here is Swamiji reciting the Sri Pratyangira Sooktam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31MbkTL2jn0 . This sooktam is said to not only protect but will destroy the enemies who did Kritya Prayogam. Disclaimer: I am not of follower of Sri Siddeswarananda Bharatiji nor do I recite the above sooktam. I am only sharing the information. Swamiji mentioned many times and many of his followers recite it regularly. Get initiated, learn the meaning of Riks of Sooktam and practice sincerely.
January 23, 2020 12:33 AM
Very well described! Thank you! We hope to provide the sūktam with the explanation. Maybe sometime this year when time permits. The kṛtya-s themselves can help evade any problems and also protect us. They can be used to destroy enemies as well. The book by Swami ji explains them very well!
January 23, 2020 08:05 AM
Thank you. Swamijis has been spreading this sooktam for many years now. Thanks to his zeal of spreading what he calls "pratyangira rukkulu" many around the globe are supposedly reciting it. Your translation should surely help them. I have read Swamijis translation in his "pratyangira sadhana" book. It is good translation but too short & in grandhika basha :)
March 06, 2020 06:12 PM
Swati, I chanted this pratyangira sooktam also and i found it is very powerful but also very dangerous because after reading ths, one of my family member who is also a victim of black magic started unbearable quarrel at home. So readers if u start it to chant and if peace is there after 2 or 3 days, do it regularly life time, but if quarrel type things there stop it immediately. This is my experience regarding this.
March 08, 2020 06:50 AM
why are you so sure of the causal link?
March 12, 2020 02:18 PM
because i saw video of this link after ur posting. this sooktam is basically from atharv veda .
April 12, 2020 05:15 PM
Hello vijeet ji.. I m doing of sadhna of ma baglamukhi. I do 108 kavach and her beej mantra 2 hrs daily with 15 min of havan from last 45 days. On this Holi someone attacked me with black magic but it got reverted on his family. Now I am thinking to add 108 bagla pryantigira kavach to my daily pooja. With havan ahuti daily. Also I do sadhna in the night time 10 to 2. I want to ask u some questions plz help me.. when u performed bagla pryantigira kavach that time u were initiated by any guru or not? I m performing my puja without guru becoz I think why I need any other person help to pray to my loving mother. I was a victim of severe black magic and lots of enemies. Now in these 45 days my enemies got sick they can't even look into my eyes. And I recovered fully from black magic which was being performed on me from last 14 years. Vidya bandan buddi Bandhan pret badha of 4_5 pret every time. And what not. are u devoted to ma baglamukhi or ma pryantigira.. becoz I want to follow ma baglamukhi .. on some other website I found beej mantra hreem replaced by hleem in bagla pryantigira kavach I want to do that. In many places I found on hleem baglamukhi sarv dustanam vachan...... And some places on hreem baglamukhi sarvdustanam...... So I think I can use hleem beej . Please suggest. Thank u
April 30, 2020 11:12 AM
Hi vijeet.can u tell the complete process of this kavach. I have chanted 400 mantras with 100 mantra daily as suggested by someone but cannot feel any difference till now
May 11, 2020 11:52 AM
Hello readers, Recite this kavach only if u r in great danger. no matter u chant with hreem ,hleem or hlreem. This kavach will solve any problem. Never try to do harm for ur selfishness. For eg. if u r tenant and try to harm ur landlord in any case it is definately a sin because u r using his property and try to harm him. Must remember there is lord saturn who gives strong punishment for a sin. Just chant this kavach in ur prayer. Never try to harm others just pray to goddess to give u safety and happiness thats enough. God bless u all. I never got any guidance from anyone but because what mistakes i did ,i want nobody will repeat that thats y i wriiten my experience here. Love u all.
May 11, 2020 11:56 AM
never do havan with that kavach in which we pray to god to save our body parts. it is a great sin. Do havan for mantras only in which specificlly body parts are not mentioned.
December 03, 2020 02:54 PM
If I lit divya, instead of performing havan then this kavach will be effective
June 05, 2020 02:53 PM
chant it with hrim only, previously i said with hleem or hlreem or hreem any ..but only hreem is safe these other 2 are not safe i found.
October 05, 2020 11:17 PM
Can a person who is non vegetarian chant this kavach..
October 06, 2020 09:22 PM
If you have the initiation for Śrī Bagalāmukhi or Śrī Pratyañgirā, then go ahead and chant these mantras. It is best to consecrate the food to the deity before consuming it. There are rituals associated with pañca makarās, that you may follow.
November 08, 2020 09:04 PM
hello guru ji excuse my ignorance what is the difference of this kavach with Sri Tara Pratyangira Kavach and Sri Prathyangira Devi Sarvartha Kavacham and devi chandika kavach for someone who has been a victim of black magic for over 30 years until the death of a child be all killed what kavach and what mantra japa he has to do. please help me
November 12, 2020 01:32 AM
Very sorry to hear about your situation. You may perform Kāli or Durgā devi japa to resolve any black magic related problems. Any of their kavacas can be recited.
November 16, 2020 03:46 AM
thank you for your reply
December 03, 2020 03:15 PM

December 12, 2020 12:22 PM
Sha chant bagla pratyangira kavach in fixed number daily and blow in the water each time, give this water daily to ur mother . no mantra in world is as effective as this kavach must remember .
December 12, 2020 02:44 PM
Vijeetji, Does it require tens of thousands of recitations or Lakhs of recitations for attaining Siddhi. I know correct answer is "it depends" (on karma, concentration, bhakti, previous sadhanas, previous janmas etc.,). But I am asking in general. You mentioned you clearly felt the presence of Mother after you recited this. How long and after how many recitations did that happen to you? Thank You.
December 13, 2020 08:09 PM
Sir, I want to sincerely and devotedly recite for life the most powerful mantra (of any ugra devata), which would even burn the most stubborn karma and help us in attaining immense fame, enormous wealth and prosperity in life, within no time. Would you suggest kamakala kali trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ or this Sri Baglamukhi Pratyangira Kavacham?
December 18, 2020 08:09 AM
The most stubborn karma can burn with the aid of the Gāyatrī Mantra. Consider reciting 10 mālās before sunrise. 1 each on each cakra and 3 more on the ājñā cakra. It will take a few hours to do this and requires a dedicated effort on the part of the devotee. You should consider doing this at least for 3 to 6 months, before embarking on reciting any other high fetching mantra. It is to be noted that you should follow the proper procedure with initiation for the Gāyatrī Mantra.
