Initiation is an absolute necessity for this mantra. The initiating guru will advise you on the proper procedures. The homa is technically performed after the completion of the prescribed mantra japa. There are some sādhakas who perform the japa on a daily basis too. It is not practical to perform it on a daily basis in the prescribed manner and more advisable to perform after the completion of the prescribed mantra japa count. If it is not possible to perform the 10k homa using the mantra japa in a single day, you may continue to do so over the subsequent days following the entire homa procedure without skipping any steps. It is the same as performing 1k homa every day for 10 days, as an example. In all these matters, the advice of the initiating guru must be followed.

Do I understand correct that 10 thousand homas has to be offered? (1 homa per day in good agnivasa — something like 50 years), or does it mean 10000 recitations of mantra during the homa? (that can ba done with effort in 10 homas)?

Dear Ravi, can you recommend someone who can give initiation to these mantras?

Wishing you and all the readers a wonderful new year as well! If time permits, we will certainly publish the documents. It should be noted however that tantric mantras and procedures should be obtained directly from a guru and not any website or book. For reference purposes it is okay. It generally doesn't seem to work unless properly initiated.

You are best served by reciting Śrī Viṣṇu Sahasranāma daily in the morning. This should be sufficient. This kavacam is most effective if you are initiated into any of the Devi mantras associated with it. If you still wish to recite, you may do so by praying fervently to the deities and reciting this kavacam once daily. The timing would be what works best for you, when you have the time to sit and pray without any distractions.

Namasker Krishna ji. I'm facing enemy problem who is yaban. I want to chant this kavacham daily. But I'm not initiated of Śrī Pratyaṅgirā or Bagalāmukhī mata. I'm not initiated of any God/Goddess. Please tell me how may I chant this kavacham regular? Tell me minimum and perfect number of chant and the process of chant please.

If we look at the Divine Mother from the Śākta Advaitic perspective, then She is Parāśakti - the manifested Parabrahman who creates the Śabda Brahman, as well as the Saguṇa and Nirguṇa Brahmans. At the Saguṇa level, we have Śiva and Śakti (not to be confused with Paramaśiva and Parāśakti) who represent the dualities and bear witness to the Creation, Preservation and Destruction (governed by the trinities of Brahma, Viṣṇu and Rudra). At the dualistic level, what you have described is true. Thank you for the additional input to help aid the understanding of these attributes!

Namaste. Thank you very much for blessing devotees with this divine ashtottara naamavali with meanings. The translation for #108 (om̐ aim̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐ jagat-pratyakṣa-sākṣiṇyai namaḥ ।) says she is the “sole witness to creation”. Is that accurate to say when she has parted from Siva and “tirodaanakareeshwari” in the end? In other words, isn’t Siva also a witness? This may be very subtle, but just for contemplation. Respectful pranams Anil
