Sir. I have a close friend who is suffering very badly now. He has done mantra sadhanas for Maa Pratyangira without chanting the Kavacam. The sadhanas were done many years ago. Is there any way to help situations like this sir? Can he recite the kavacam to help solve this problem. He is in a very bad situation now. He doesn't know that he has to recite the kavacam before doing the sadhanas. He doesn't much strength to do sadhanas now. I hope for your replies soon sir. Thank you so much

Both "raktāmbarāṁ" or "raktakalāmbarāṁ" relate to the same meaning of adorned in red garments and ornaments representing the passion to create as She is the very cause of this omniverse. I have added "raktāmbarāṁ" to the above śloka also.

When you see a 'ā', it is usually a 'a + a' and the word can be split in such a manner. For example, 'mayūkāvṛte' becomes 'mayūka' + 'avṛte', meaning a peacock and its circle of feathers when dancing. The Divine Mother offers a 360 degree protection, is to be gleaned from it. When we see a word like 'kālasyollāsinīm', the 'o' can be split as 'a + u', such as 'kālasya' + 'ullāsinīm', meaning prevalent and delighted at all times. Sometimes the words cannot be split just like that or an incorrect split can change the meaning.

1. Generally about 1 lakh (100,000). But it can also be akṣara lakṣa, meaning 1 lakh per syllable, totalling 15 lakh or 1.5 million for the root pañcadaśakṣarī mantra. These variations have 3 more additional letters taking it to 1.8 million or 18 lakh mantra japas. You can use a mālā of 108 beads to perform the japa. Each mālā recitation will count as 108 mantra recitations. 2. If you follow the Puraścharaṇa rituals, you can perform a 1/10th of the japa recitations for Homam/fire rituals, followed by another 10th of homam towards tarpaṇa, a further 10th of tarpaṇa (water ritual) towards marjaṇa (water rituals) and a 10th of marjaṇa towards bhojana(feeding scholars). 3. For the fire ritual svāhā should be added at the end of the mantra. Likewise, tarpayāmi for the tarpaṇa etc. 4. You should find this in the Sri Vidya mantras section.
