You may use it if guided by your guru or your intuition. I would generally follow what is suggested within the Stotram itself unless prescribed differently by my guru.

When in doubt, follow the guidance of the tantra or better still, that of the initiating guru. If you are doing this with self-initiation, you may continue if you have a very strong intuition to recite the Stotra. It is always best to have zero expectations and let the Divine Mother guide as She wills. If you are desirous of obtaining benefits, then my suggestion is to find an appropriate guru who can guide you to the mantra japa, yantra pūja and stotras.

Oh! Thank you for the warning. I have just started on a basic Siddhi Mantra. But I have been reciting this Kavacham once a day since the last 2 months. I had read somewhere in the site that reciting this Kavacam alone will not cause any issue & no other Mantras. Is reciting the Kavacam once a day a problem too?

Namaste...Happy Sri Maha Varahi Navratri to all. For those initiated into Sri Maha Varahi mantra, is it safe and still equally (or perhaps more) effective to slightly modify the prefix for each of the 1000 names given to match the prefix given for the 108 names variation #3 and #4? For example, use 'aim glaum aim om xxx' in lieu of 'om aim glaum xxx' ? Thank you.

Thank you so very much for this article, Krishna. I found so much wisdom in your words as I read, and then I reached the conclusion and began to read the comments, and here again, I find more profound insights. The character and quality of the folks commenting here should make it abundantly clear that the Divine Mother is present here, within the author's heart, within the commentator's, and within those of us reading. You are all amazing people. Thank you all for sharing this knowledge. All the best, Andy

You can get an armlet made with the kavacam printed on it and wear it on your upper right arm preferably, so it remains hidden. Do not do this if you are not initiated into any of Her mantras and permitted to recite this kavacam by your guru.

As per the tantras, it is not permitted. You may however recite the mantra during meditation or follow the general Vedic mantras that are permitted without the japa krama. It is always best to get an initiation if you are very serious about the japa krama.
