Kanda Sasti Kavacam civmymf

knftrf cxfF kvcmf ( Etvray Cvamikqf `RqiyT ) (thEvaraaya suvaamigaL aruLiyadhu) Kanda Sasti Kavacam composed by Sri Deva Raya Swamigal helps one to obtain the grace of Lord Murugan. This is a rare and valuable treasure that helps one to be successful in day-today life. In Kanda Sasti Kavacam the author prays to Lord Muruga to shower His grace. It is certain that by regular chanting of this kavacam all the predicaments of life are resolved. People without children will enjoy fertility. Prosperity and plenty will abound. Peace will prevail at home. The devotee will enjoy every good fortune under the sun. As a warrior going to battle puts on armour to protect himself, so Kanda Sasti Kavacam helps one to be safe in day-to-day life. See the complete Aru Padai Veedu kavacam series by Devaraya Swamigal.
